With bats slumping, Orioles head to Toronto for a big weekend series

With bats slumping, Orioles head to Toronto for a big weekend series
With their one-game trip to Minnesota now behind them, the Orioles can now set their sights on the Toronto Blue Jays and a big weekend series at Rogers Centre. It's a matchup of two of the top teams in the American League East. The Orioles have been rather streaky since the All-Star break. They won the first two out of the break, then lost four in a row, won five in a row and now have lost three in a row. Their offense, so dynamic in June, has looked much less than that lately. The Orioles...

Jimenez allows one run, but bullpen falters in loss to Twins

Jimenez allows one run, but bullpen falters in loss to Twins
On the night that struggling right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez pitched well, those that followed him to the mound in Minnesota could not say the same. The Twins scored four times in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and beat the Orioles 6-2 at Target Field. The Orioles fall to 58-43 with three straight losses that have followed a five-game winning streak. They were trying for a season sweep of the Twins, but must settle for a 5-1 mark. Pitching for the first time since July 8, Jimenez was shaky in a...

O's game blog: Can Ubaldo Jimenez turn it around against the Twins?

O's game blog: Can Ubaldo Jimenez turn it around against the Twins?
The Orioles play a makeup game at Minnesota tonight for the postponement there on May 9. They play at Target Field tonight in the final game of the season series between the teams before they head to Toronto for a big American League East weekend series starting Friday. Tonight, we find out if Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9, 7.38 ERA) can beat the odds and pitch well in this game. He has not pitched since July 8, recently left the club to be on paternity leave and has struggled badly most of the year. Can...

Notes on Dylan Bundy, Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Davis

Notes on Dylan Bundy, Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Davis
Here are a few notes and observations as the Orioles head out on a two-city, four-game road trip starting tonight at Minnesota and moving on to Toronto this weekend. Dylan Bundy was impressive: Bundy was dealing. Bundy looked strong last night, retiring the first 16 Colorado Rockies he faced and taking a perfect game into the sixth inning. The fact he gave up two homers in the sixth should not take away from an opinion that Bundy clearly belongs in the O's rotation. This is no longer a...

Dylan Bundy on his outing and other clubhouse quotes

Dylan Bundy on his outing and other clubhouse quotes
For most of his postgame interview tonight, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy was as tough on himself as he was for most of tonight on Colorado Rockies hitters. While he will no doubt take away a lot of positives from tonight's outing, maybe it's another good sign for the rookie that he wants to focus as much on what went wrong in a game his team lost. Tonight, for Bundy, not a lot went wrong. But after retiring the first 16 Rockies he faced - eight on strikeouts, a new career-high - he...

Rockies finally get to Dylan Bundy and top O's in series finale

Rockies finally get to Dylan Bundy and top O's in series finale
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy was rolling. He struck out the side in the second. He tied his career high with seven strikeouts by the fourth inning. He had a perfect game through five. But two changeups that found too much of the plate in the Colorado sixth changed everything. Nick Hundley and David Dahl homered to turn a dominant outing into one where Bundy took the loss to the Rockies and rookie right-hander Jon Gray. Colorado beat the Orioles 3-1 and joined Seattle as the only teams to...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy gets the start, plus farm notes

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy gets the start, plus farm notes
After splitting two games with the Rockies, the Orioles host Colorado tonight in the series finale. Having lost just one home series all year, going 12-1-3, the Orioles need a win to keep that intact. They lost two of three to Seattle at Camden Yards in mid-May. Right-hander Dylan Bundy (3-2, 3.30 ERA) makes his third start and 25th appearance. Right-hander Jon Gray (6-4, 4.12 ERA) pitches for the Rockies. Bundy got his first win as a starter in the homestand opener Friday versus Cleveland....

Matt Wieters: No excuses for the pitches he could not catch

Matt Wieters: No excuses for the pitches he could not catch
Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is a two-time Gold Glove winner. So when O's pitchers threw three wild pitches the last two nights, it was a strange sight to see Wieters misplay one or two pitches that looked catchable. One instance occurred Monday night with the Orioles and Rockies tied 1-1 in the top of the seventh. David Dahl was on first base with two outs. He advanced to second on a Yovani Gallardo wild pitch and scored the go-ahead run on Mark Reynolds' single to center. Wieters had just...

As Chris Tillman struggled, Tyler Wilson was strong for the Orioles

As Chris Tillman struggled, Tyler Wilson was strong for the Orioles
For the Orioles, two right-handers took the mound last night, one that had been struggling lately and the other who was looking to become the majors' first 15-game winner. Who would thought it would be Chris Tillman that would give up six runs to slow the recent momentum of the Orioles starting rotation? Who would have thought that Tyler Wilson would get back on the mound for the Orioles and be unhittable for four innings? It was a reversal of recent fortune for both. On July 3, Wilson was...

Chris Tillman and Adam Jones comment after O's loss to Colorado

Chris Tillman and Adam Jones comment after O's loss to Colorado
Over his previous four starts, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman allowed four runs on 16 hits in 28 innings. Tonight, he gave up four runs in one inning when he allowed five hits in the top of the third of the Orioles' 6-3 loss to Colorado. Tillman gave up a season-high-tying six runs on nine hits over five innings and 89 pitches. His ERA was 1.29 those previous four starts. What was the difference from those games to tonight? "Not a whole lot," he said. "I went back and looked at it and...

Chris Tillman takes the loss and Orioles' win streak ends at five

Chris Tillman takes the loss and Orioles' win streak ends at five
Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman was a pitch away from getting out of a third-inning jam. Then he was a pitch away from allowing just two runs. But both times the Colorado Rockies hitters won the battle. Tillman, who was 4-0 with a 1.29 ERA his last four starts, allowed four runs in the third and six over five innings tonight as the Orioles lost 6-3 to the Rockies. The Orioles' five-game winning streak ends as they fall to 58-41. The Orioles were 12-0 in Tillman's home starts until tonight....

O's game blog: Chris Tillman looks for his 15th win of the season
With back-to-back walk-off wins, the Orioles have enjoyed a 4-0 homestand since Friday and look for another win tonight as they host the Colorado Rockies in the second game of a three-game series. At 58-40 with five consecutive wins, the Orioles own the best record in the American League, the second-best record in the majors behind the Cubs (59-39) and lead the AL East by 2 1/2 games over the Red Sox and three over the Blue Jays. The Orioles have the best home record in the majors at 37-14...

Back with the Orioles, Ubaldo Jimenez waits for his next chance

Back with the Orioles, Ubaldo Jimenez waits for his next chance
Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez is back with the club after becoming a father for the first time. Now he's waiting to find out when and where he will pitch again. Jimenez went on paternity leave on Saturday and that night his wife gave birth to a daughter named Jimevi. While Jimenez was going through that wonderful experience, his name was the subject of trade rumors. He said the birth of his daughter took priority over tracking any baseball news. "I didn't have a lot of time to follow...

The O's now have second-best record in the majors (plus other notes)
Here are a few notes and observations after the Orioles pulled off their second straight walk-off win last night, beating the Rockies 3-2 on an error in the 10th inning: Cubs first, O's second: Remember when the Chicago Cubs got off to that incredible start and were the talk of baseball? Chicago was 25-6 on May 10 and looked to be easily the best team in the majors. The Cubs still have the best record in the majors this morning at 59-39 (.602). But they are just one game better than the...

Adam Jones on the win, Yovani Gallardo on his outing
Tonight, the Orioles followed up their walk-off win via Nolan Reimold's pinch-hit two-run homer with a walk-off win on an error as they beat the Rockies 3-2 in 10 innings. Adam Jones charged down the line from third on a grounder back to the mound in the 10th. Colorado right-hander Jordan Lyles fielded that grounder off Manny Machado's bat with runners on first and third and one out. It glanced off his glove and then he hurriedly threw home. It appeared catcher Nick Hundley had the ball in...

Another walk-off win: Game ends on an error as O's top Colorado
For the second day in a row, the Orioles produced a walk-off win. This one came with less drama, but it still counts. Tied 2-2 with Colorado in the 10th, they faced right-hander Jordan Lyles. With one out, Adam Jones singled. He went to third on Jonathan Schoop's single to right. Jones scored on an error to produce a 3-2 win. Manny Machado hit a grounder to the mound and it glanced off Lyles' glove. He threw home, it appeared in time to get an out, but Nick Hundley could not hang onto the...

O's game blog: It's Gallardo against De La Rosa in series opener
The Orioles are 5-2 against National League opponents as they get set to host the Colorado Rockies tonight for the first of a three-game series at steamy Camden Yards. The O's have gone 2-1 versus the Los Angeles Dodgers and 3-1 against San Diego. This is their first series with the Rockies (47-51) since they went 2-1 in 2013. The clubs have split 12 all-time meetings, all in Baltimore since the Orioles played at Coors Field in 2004. Since the All-Star break, Colorado won two of three at...

Matt Wieters on his return to Orioles lineup tonight
For the first time since last Monday, catcher Matt Wieters is back in the Orioles lineup tonight, catching and batting sixth. He got hit in the right foot in New York a week ago and was on the active roster, but missed six games. "It has gotten better each day and moving around is no problem now," Wieters said this afternoon. "That is what we were waiting for, to be able to run and walk with no hindrance. Feels good to get back out there. "It is something to where the foot is a sensitive...

With rotation getting better, do O's still need to add a starter?

With rotation getting better, do O's still need to add a starter?
The Cleveland Indians went 22-6 in June. They came to Baltimore on Friday night with the best record in the American League. They were 30-14 in their previous 44 games. But they left Baltimore after getting swept three in a row. The Orioles, at 57-40, now own the best record in the AL and are on a 95-win pace. Some of the dire predictions by some fans just a few days ago have been washed away by a weekend of winning. It seems as if the Orioles struggle for a few games this time every year, but...

Reimold on his walk-off homer (and other clubhouse quotes)

Reimold on his walk-off homer (and other clubhouse quotes)
It was not a bad Sunday for the Orioles. They got another strong performance from their starting pitcher. They got Darren O'Day back and they completed a three-game sweep of the first-place Cleveland Indians with a walk-off victory. It was a walk-off win produced by an unlikely hero. Outfielder Nolan Reimold batted with Pedro Alvarez on second and two outs in the ninth of a 3-3 tie. Right-hander Cody Allen was on the mound and Reimold would normally be more likely to pinch-hit against a...
