Bundy on his ankle and outing, Davis on his homer and the series

Bundy on his ankle and outing, Davis on his homer and the series
In sizing up his previous starts compared to Wednesday night's outing against Boston, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy said what happened tonight was easy to explain. "They hit everything," he said. "I guess. I don't know. I threw some good pitches and they still hit 'em. Just one of those nights, I guess. Just have to learn from it and get better from here. Those guys came out hacking and they hit the ball well." Bundy gave up career highs with nine hits and five runs over 4 1/3 innings...

Boston wins rain-shortened game, sweeps two-game series
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy was eventually going to have a rough night. It happened tonight against the highest-scoring team in the majors. Bundy allowed career highs with nine hits and five runs over 4 1/3 innings as Boston beat the Orioles 8-1 at Camden Yards. The game was shortened to six innings, called after a rain delay of 1 hour, 17 minutes. The Red Sox sweep the two-game series as the Orioles fall into third place, two games back of Toronto and one back of Boston in the American...

Hyun Soo Kim talks about making a rare start against a left-hander

Hyun Soo Kim talks about making a rare start against a left-hander
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said starting Hyun Soo Kim in left field against Boston lefty David Price was his best option for this evening's lineup. Kim has had few chances against left-handers this year, but is 0-for-14 with three walks and two strikeouts. Tonight, he'll make his second start of the year with a lefty facing the Orioles. He started against Mariners lefty Wade LeBlanc on July 1 at Safeco Field, going 0-for-3. "This is just another game," Kim said through interpreter Danny...

Mookie Betts has not hit the rest of the AL East like he has O's pitchers

Mookie Betts has not hit the rest of the AL East like he has O's pitchers
When it comes to Boston outfielder Mookie Betts and his play this year against the American League East, he has been mediocre against three teams but sensational against one. Bet you can guess which one. Or is that Betts you can guess? Betts is crushing Oriole pitching, but batting a collective .223 combined against Toronto, Tampa Bay and New York. In 11 games on the season against the Orioles, Betts is batting .426 (20-for-47) with three doubles, eight homers and 17 RBIs. He has a .471 OBP, a...

Orioles talk about the two pitches that cost them a game

Orioles talk about the two pitches that cost them a game
Catcher Matt Wieters called them two mistake pitches, and tonight they turned a possible comeback win into a loss for the Orioles. Boston outfielder Mookie Betts, who hit five homers earlier this season in a two-game span at Camden Yards, hit two more tonight, leading Boston past the Orioles 5-3. It was quite a show by Betts, who hit a three-run homer off Yovani Gallardo for a 3-0 lead in the fifth. After the Orioles tied the game at 3-3, Betts hit a two-run shot off Brad Brach in the eighth....

Mookie Betts homers twice as Boston takes series opener

Mookie Betts homers twice as Boston takes series opener
The Orioles were able to overcome trailing 3-0 and being no-hit into the seventh inning tonight. They just could not overcome Boston right fielder Mookie Betts. Betts' two-run homer in the eighth - his second blast of the game - broke a 3-3 tie as Boston beat the Orioles 5-3 tonight at Camden Yards. The teams now have identical 66-52 records with 44 games to play. Betts connected on an 0-1 pitch from losing pitcher Brad Brach. Betts has five multi-homer games this season and three have come in...

Manny Machado talks about home fans and home stretch

Manny Machado talks about home fans and home stretch
With the Orioles about to start a stretch where they will play 14 of the next 19 games at home, and 25 of their last 45 at Camden Yards, third baseman Manny Machado was asked about the Camden Yards fans today. Clearly, the Orioles love playing at home and they have the best home record in the game at 39-17. But the club does rank 10th in the American League in average home attendance at 26,826. That ranks ahead of only the Twins, White Sox, Indians, A's and Rays in the AL. Machado was...

With 14 of next 19 at home, can O's make their move in AL East?

With 14 of next 19 at home, can O's make their move in AL East?
Three teams and one game. That is all that separates the top clubs in the American League East today after Boston won and Toronto lost yesterday. The Orioles (66-51) and the Blue Jays (67-52) share first place and the Red Sox (65-52) are one game back. A Red Sox win at Camden Yards tonight coupled with a Blue Jays loss to the Yankees would create a three-way tie for first. It is that close right now. Of those three teams competing for the top spot, the Orioles are the only one to have more home...

More notes on the comeback win and a look ahead

More notes on the comeback win and a look ahead
When Jonathan Schoop batted in the ninth inning yesterday in San Francisco, he had just one homer and one RBI in his previous 19 games. Nice time to break out. Schoop's three-run homer completed the Orioles' comeback from a 7-1 deficit to an 8-7 win. They were down to their last out, trailing 7-5, when he connected. It was Schoop's 50th career home run. Schoop has 18 homers this year. He has hit nine from innings one through six and nine more from the seventh inning on. He has four in both...

Rally time: O's come from 7-1 down, beat SF on Schoop's HR in ninth
They were down by six runs at one point. In the ninth inning, they were down 7-5 and down to their last out.

The Orioles were behind 7-1 after five innings, but scored the game's final seven runs. This was their 34th come from behind win of the season.

Alexander Wells on making All-Star Game (plus O's notes)

Alexander Wells on making All-Star Game (plus O's notes)
The Orioles' Australian import is certainly having a strong first season in pro ball. Alexander Wells, a 19-year left-hander from Newcastle, Australia, is 4-5 with a 2.03 ERA in 10 starts for short-season Single-A Aberdeen. His strong season is leading him to Tuesday's New York-Penn League All-Star Game at Hudson Valley. "It is a very good honor," Wells said in Aberdeen this week. "A bit shocked and surprised. But it is a great feeling and I'm really happy to represent Aberdeen." The...

O's lose walkathon to Bumgarner, Giants 6-2

O's lose walkathon to Bumgarner, Giants 6-2
It was a walkathon by Orioles pitchers tonight in San Francisco. They walked a season-high nine batters. That was not a recipe to try and outscore Giants left-hander Madsion Bumgarner. They could not do it in a 6-2 loss to the Giants. Coupled with Toronto's win over Houston earlier, the Orioles (65-51) fell back into second place in the American League East by a half-game behind Toronto. Losing pitcher Kevin Gausman had a wild ride indeed. He walked two in the first and escaped that jam, but a...

Some Bundy numbers, Jones on MLB Network and August trade targets

Some Bundy numbers, Jones on MLB Network and August trade targets
It looked like Dylan Bundy didn't have his best command. It looked like the Giants might get to him when they had a run in and two on in the third. But they didn't and Bundy had yet another solid outing in his sixth major league start. Over 5 2/3 innings, Bundy allowed three hits and one run as the Orioles beat the Giants 5-2 in the series opener in San Francisco. Bundy, who threw 92 pitches, came up an out short of providing the Orioles with their eighth consecutive quality start. But he...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy on the mound in SF series opener
The Orioles begin a weekend series in San Francisco tonight, the last stop of a three-city, 10-game road trip. They went 2-1 at Chicago and 1-3 at Oakland to begin the trip. Their 9-6 win yesterday ended a three-game losing streak at Oakland, where they had scored just three runs in the first three games. Mark Trumbo hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, Pedro Alvarez had a three-RBI game and Adam Jones hit a solo homer. One game doesn't prove that the Orioles are out of their offensive...

All in the family: Preston Palmeiro brings familiar swing to Aberdeen

All in the family: Preston Palmeiro brings familiar swing to Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. - When it was time for the second day of the 2016 First Year Player Draft on June 10, N.C. State first baseman Preston Palmeiro was in front of his computer to watch every pick unfold. He said that went against all the advice he had gotten. "I didn't really do a lot to help myself," Palmeiro said Wednesday at Aberdeen's Ripken Stadium. "I watched the whole draft. Everybody told me to avoid doing that and I did the opposite and watched it all. I just sat there for a few hours...

A few notes on the offense after a breakout game at Oakland

A few notes on the offense after a breakout game at Oakland
When the Orioles scored three runs in the fourth inning today, they matched their total from the first three games in Oakland. In the fifth inning, they topped that on one swing. Mark Trumbo hit a fifth-inning grand slam and drove in five, while Pedro Alvarez added three RBIs, as the Orioles beat Oakland 9-6 to salvage the finale of the four-game series. They had scored three runs or fewer in three straight, six of eight, 11 of 16 and in 16 of 26 games since the All-Star break. But, the offense...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman will try to stop another losing streak
He will certainly need some run support to do the job this afternoon, but once again Chris Tillman (14-4, 3.50 ERA) will try to stop an Orioles losing streak. The right-hander has proven very adept at halting streaks this year. In fact, he has helped the club snap five streaks of three consecutive losses or more. He's done this three times alone in the last 31 games, and all three streaks were of at least four straight losses. The rundown:April 27: Pitched 6 2/3 scoreless against Tampa Bay,...
