Hyun Soo Kim's pinch-hit homer in ninth lifts O's to huge win
TORONTO - Down by one run and down to their last two outs, Hyun Soo Kim hit one of the biggest homers of the 2016 season for the Orioles tonight. His pinch-hit two-run shot off Toronto closer Roberto Osuna turned a potential 2-1 loss into a 3-2 Orioles win tonight in front of 44,668 at Rogers Centre. The Orioles improved to 86-72 and ensured they will hold onto sole possesion of the second American League wild card through tonight. Down 2-1 in the ninth, Jonathan Schoop singled with one out and...

Orioles pitching rotation takes shape for New York series
TORONTO - The Orioles rotation for the final series of the year is starting to take shape. The tentative plan right now calls for right-hander Yovani Gallardo to start Friday night against the Yankees in New York and lefty Wade Miley to pitch on Saturday afternoon. "Gallardo is going to leave (Toronto) tomorrow and he'll start in New York," manager Buck Showalter said this afternoon. "He's going to fly out tomorrow. Miley had a workday today and he'll fly in late tomorrow night to New...

Back in lineup tonight, are things slowing down for Mancini?

Back in lineup tonight, are things slowing down for Mancini?
TORONTO - After nine days in the major leagues, maybe the Orioles' Trey Mancini has reached the point where his life is starting to feel somewhat normal again. Maybe. He sure had a crazy first few days as he became an instant fan favorite getting curtain calls as he homered in each of his first three major league starts. He became the third player in the majors since 1913 to do that, joining Carlos Quentin and Trevor Story. So have things started to settle down a bit for Mancini, who will bat...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - Still with a shot to catch the Blue Jays for the first American League wild card while also trying to hold off the teams trailing them for the second wild card, the Orioles play in Toronto tonight in the second game of a three-game series. The Birds were held to eight hits - just one for extra bases, a double - and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position on Tuesday night. They were held to one run over six innings by Aaron Sanchez in a 5-1 loss. The Orioles (85-72) lead the...

After poor 10-game run on offense, O's bats need to get going fast

After poor 10-game run on offense, O's bats need to get going fast
TORONTO - In losing four straight games against Boston the Orioles scored just eight runs. In sweeping Arizona three straight they won games scoring three and two runs. Once they won in 12 innings with three solo homers and once they won with an early two-run homer that their pitching made stand up. The starting rotations in Boston and Toronto are going well now and the Orioles hitters can't seem to figure them out. But it goes beyond just those teams. The Orioles have hit just .204 with 24...

Chris Davis on ejection and more from the clubhouse
TORONTO - Even at a ballpark where they have averaged five runs a game this year and hit 15 homers in seven games, the Orioles offense could not break out. When Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer in the last of the first tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays had all the offense they would need. They beat the Orioles 5-1 as the O's fell two games back of Toronto for the first American League wild card. The Orioles had eight hits, just one for extra bases, and were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring...

Orioles drop series opener 5-1 at Rogers Centre

Orioles drop series opener 5-1 at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - With a chance to move into a tie for the first American League wild card tonight, the Orioles instead fell behind early, struggled again on offense and never caught up. They lost 5-1 to Toronto in front of 44,762 at Rogers Centre to fall two games back of the Blue Jays with five to play. The Orioles are 85-72 overall and 2-6 in this building this season. Wins by either Detroit or Seattle tonight would move those teams to within one game of the Orioles for the second wild card. Two...

Showalter on Givens and the bullpen (O's fall 5-1)
TORONTO - No doubt the Orioles bullpen will get a few chances to shine in this series at Rogers Centre. And the Orioles relievers have been doing that most of this season. In fact, over the club's last 13 games, the Orioles bullpen has pitched to an ERA of 0.74, allowing nine runs (four earned) over 48 2/3 innings. With Darren O'Day back from the disabled list to join Mychal Givens, Brad Brach and Donnie Hart to set up for closer Zach Britton, manager Buck Showalter has a few options to...

TORONTO - As the Orioles play six big games in their final two series of the 2016 regular season, will Buck Showalter manage any differently? He knows the standings show his team just one game behind Toronto for the American League's first wild card as a three-game series with the Blue Jays begins tonight. "We'll see what the game dictates," Showalter said this afternoon in the visitors' dugout. "The game usually tells you what you should do and not do. But we understand the sense of...

Mark Trumbo and Adam Jones on playing at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - For a visiting player, Rogers Centre in Toronto can be a tough place to play. And that goes beyond simply facing a tough opponent. As the Orioles open a big three-game series here tonight, a couple of players say the crowd here is as tough on visiting players as any place they play all year. "You know, at least as a defender, you will hear a fair amount of taunts," Mark Trumbo said this afternoon. "That is just part of the deal here. It is going to be extremely loud. The energy is...

TORONTO - The Orioles' last road trip of the 2016 season begins tonight at Rogers Centre as the Orioles (85-71) and Toronto Blue Jays (86-70) start a big three-game series. It could possibly be a preview of the American League wild card game a week from today. The Orioles were off Monday and moved to within one game of Toronto for the first AL wild card spot when the Blue Jays lost to the Yankees. The Orioles are 7-9 against Toronto on the year, going 5-4 at home and 2-5 at Rogers Centre where...

Will O's pitching step up at Rogers Centre?
Well, that was one productive off-day for the Orioles. While the players got some much-needed rest, they gained ground on the teams in front of and behind them in the wild card race. The Yankees scored five runs in the top of the ninth and then held off Toronto (86-70) in the last of the ninth to beat the Blue Jays 7-5. That result moved the Orioles (85-71) to within one game of Toronto for the first American League wild card spot. Moments later Cleveland concluded a 7-4 win at Detroit. That...

Britton focused on the playoffs, not awards (plus other notes)

Britton focused on the playoffs, not awards (plus other notes)
Orioles closer Zach Britton is focusing on trying to get his team into the playoffs and not his chances to contend for a Cy Young Award after this season. But that doesn't stop reporters from asking him about it and he was asked yet again during the 11-game homestand that ended yesterday. After his 14-pitch save Sunday, Britton is now 46-for-46 in save opportunities. According to STATS, LLC., with that save, Britton extended his stretch of consecutive save opportunities converted to 48. The...

It was a big win for the Orioles (85-71), who swept Arizona after being swept in four straight by Boston. If Detroit loses against Kansas City, the O's will open a lead of 1 1/2 games for the second AL wild card spot.

Mancini on getting great support and Hardy and Trumbo on Mancini
Here is something Trey Mancini hasn't done yet - hit a single. So the O's 24-year-old prospect from Notre Dame is not perfect. But he is putting his name in the major league and team record books. When he hit a three-run homer off Boston's David Price on Thursday night, Mancini became the first Orioles player to homer for his first two major league hits. Last night featured another Mancini home run. According to STATS, LLC., he is the third player in major league history (since 1913) to...

Wade Miley on his outing, plus other clubhouse quotes

Wade Miley on his outing, plus other clubhouse quotes
Earlier this year, Orioles left-hander Wade Miley heard some boo birds as he struggled here at Camden Yards. Tonight, as he lost a shutout with one out in the ninth, he left the mound to a huge ovation from 40,610 as the Orioles beat Arizona 6-1. "That is kind of what we play for," Miley said. "You want to do good and do your job and it worked out tonight. Just had good command of the fastball tonight, which set up off-speed pitches. Wheaty (Matt Wieters) did a great job. Might have shook...

The Detroit Tigers allowed five runs in the top of the ninth this afternoon and lost to the Kansas City Royals 7-4 at Comerica Park.

Oliver Drake improves pitch efficiency and finds better results

Oliver Drake improves pitch efficiency and finds better results
Orioles reliever Oliver Drake has probably reached that point in his career where he is looking to show the major league staff that he can be more than an occasional call-up player from Triple-A Norfolk. After two years of some back and forth between the minors and majors, Drake is having a strong September for the Orioles. And his manager Buck Showalter is noticing. Drake got his first major league win last night, pitching a 1-2-3 top of the 12th on just eight pitches. Over his last four...
