O's notes on Ubaldo Jimenez, Jonathan Schoop and Manny Machado
ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Orioles have seen this before. Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez is struggling again. He is 2-5 with an ERA of 6.04 through nine starts after his latest poor outing Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles have allowed 10 runs in a game twice this year and that has happened in Jimenez's last two starts. They lost 10-0 Tuesday to Seattle and 10-2 yesterday to the Angels. In those outings, Jimenez allowed 12 runs in 10 innings. Over his last five starts, he has given up...

Yovani Gallardo on bullpen session: "I was pretty excited how it went today"
ANAHEIM, Calif. - As one Orioles starting pitcher struggled badly today in a 10-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, another took a solid step closer to rejoining the starting five. Before a game where Ubaldo Jimenez would allow six runs in a 10-2 loss to Los Angeles, right-hander Yovani Gallardo threw an important bullpen session. It was his first since he went on the disabled list April 23 with right shoulder tendinitis. After the game, Gallardo provided an update on that session. "Good. It...

Showalter on Jimenez's struggles and hold on a rotation spot, plus more
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez struggled again today. He gave up six runs over 5 2/3 innings in this afternoon's 10-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He is 2-5 with a 6.04 ERA. But manager Buck Showalter said postgame that Jimenez is not in danger of losing his rotation spot. At least not right now. "No, we're not at that point. What other options you talking about? I'm answering your question," Showalter said. The indication there is Showalter doesn't have a...

Wieters and Tillman on the O's strong start to the season

Wieters and Tillman on the O's strong start to the season
ANAHEIM, Calif. - When the Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night, they improved to 25-15. That was a nice round number. The team had played 40 games - about one-quarter of the full season - and was on a pace to win 100 games. Not a bad start to the 2016 season. It got better last night when Matt Wieters hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as the Orioles beat the Angels 3-1. Today they go for their first three-game sweep in Anaheim since Aug. 27-29, 2010. When...

Wieters on birthday blast: "I think I'll remember this one"
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles catcher Matt Wieters celebrated his 30th birthday with a game-winning homer in the top of the ninth inning tonight.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker has struggled this year, but he retired the first nine Orioles in order tonight.

O's game blog: Will O's mash more homers in Game 2 in Anaheim?
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Can the often homer-happy Orioles bash more homers tonight against a pitcher that has allowed seven this year over 29 2/3 innings?
