Mark Trumbo on his two-homer night; Chris Tillman on his strong start

Mark Trumbo on his two-homer night; Chris Tillman on his strong start
The Orioles have now won six in a row against the New York Yankees dating to the end of last season. The club record for most consecutive wins against New York is nine in a row from Aug. 15, 1967 to May 22, 1968. The Yankees fell to 8-16 tonight and have lost six in a row, being outscored 37-13. When asked tonight if the Orioles should try and get the Yankees while they are down, outfielder Mark Trumbo said yes. "I think so," Trumbo said. "Unfortunately, I've been on teams that are down and...

Mark Trumbo homers twice as O's beat Yankees in series opener

Mark Trumbo homers twice as O's beat Yankees in series opener
Orioles right fielder Mark Trumbo had hit just one homer this year at Camden Yards. He doubled that total tonight as Trumbo's two-homer game led the Orioles past the Yankees 4-1 in the opener of a three-game series. With the victory, the Orioles have won six in a row against the Yankees for the first time since an eight-game win streak from Sept. 19, 1996 to Sept. 6, 1997. The Orioles improved to 15-10 on the season, 10-3 at home and 8-4 in games against the American League East. They are 15-4...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman on the mound in Yankees series opener
They come to town as the last place team in the American League East. The New York Yankees are 8-15 and have lost five in a row heading into tonight's series opener at Camden Yards. New York has been outscored 33-12 during the losing streak and were just swept at Fenway Park. The Yankees are 1-5 on a nine-game road trip. They are 3-8 in road games and 3-6 in AL East games. Even with losing the last two games of their series with the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, the Orioles are 9-3 at...

Zach Britton with an injury update, hopes to return soon

Zach Britton with an injury update, hopes to return soon
Orioles closer Zach Britton, who left Saturday's game with a sprained left ankle, is hopeful that he can return to pitch during what is left of this homestand. He hopes he can return during the three-game series with the Yankees that starts tonight. "I think this week is a good timeline," Britton said this afternoon in the clubhouse. "I'm not sure exactly whether that is tomorrow or the next day. Once I throw outside, I'll have a better idea. "I feel a lot better (than Saturday)....

Can the Orioles withstand the loss of J.J. Hardy?

Can the Orioles withstand the loss of J.J. Hardy?
It says here that the Orioles will be all right playing the next six to eight weeks without shortstop J.J. Hardy. That would not be something several other teams may be able to say or do when you consider how good Hardy is at shortstop. And beyond his considerable defensive skills, his quiet leadership will be missed on the field. He's a rock for both Jonathan Schoop and Manny Machado. But he can still be a leader and mentor for that pair while on the disabled list. The Orioles are fortunate...

At 14-10, the Orioles are on a pace to win 94 games

At 14-10, the Orioles are on a pace to win 94 games
The Orioles split a four-game series with the Chicago White Sox, the team with the best record in the American League. Encouraging on one hand, but on the other not so much, since they won the first two games of the series. On Saturday night the Orioles were six outs away from taking the first three in the series. But we know what happened. Darren O'Day had a rare bad outing and Zach Britton got hurt. In the first two games and seven innings of the series, the Orioles outscored the White Sox...

Adam Jones on O's injuries: "This is a true test of what a team is all about"

Adam Jones on O's injuries: "This is a true test of what a team is all about"
The Orioles played today without closer Zach Britton and now could be missing shortstop J.J. Hardy, as well. Over the last two days, they've lost two games and two important players. For how long, that is uncertain right now. Hardy fouled a ball off his left foot today and left the game after five innings. He will have CT scan on the foot tomorrow as the X-rays showed some things the Orioles want to check on further. Outfielder Adam Jones was asked about losing two key players. "It's part of...

Chicago gets five in fifth off Ubaldo Jimenez to split four-game series

Chicago gets five in fifth off Ubaldo Jimenez to split four-game series
To beat a top pitcher like Chris Sale today, the Orioles would likely need a very strong outing from their starting pitcher. For a few innings today, Ubaldo Jimenez was indeed holding the White Sox at bay. But then they scored five runs in an ugly fifth for the right-hander. Chicago went on to beat the Orioles 7-1 today at Camden Yards to split this four-game series between American League division leaders. The Orioles fall to 14-10 overall and 9-3 at home. Jimenez pulled off an escape act in...

O's game blog: O's face Chris Sale in White Sox series finale

O's game blog: O's face Chris Sale in White Sox series finale
Had the Orioles won last night, today they would be looking for their first four-game home sweep of the Chicago White Sox since 1990. Instead, they merely need to beat Chris Sale to win the series. That figures to be tough, indeed. Sale is 5-0 with a 1.66 ERA this year in five starts. Over 38 innings he has allowed just 21 hits and eight runs (seven earned) with five walks and 32 strikeouts. Opponent batters are hitting just .159 off him. If those numbers are not impressive enough, over his...

Hyun Soo Kim talks about his improvement at the plate

Hyun Soo Kim talks about his improvement at the plate
Hyun Soo Kim, the first Korean-born player in Orioles history, is now batting .600 at 9-for-15 on the season. He has made four starts and gotten multiple hits in three of those games. A spring training that ended with the Orioles asking him to accept an assignment to the minors suddenly seems a long time ago. Not only did Kim go 3-for-4 last night, but he smoked a double to right field in the third inning. It was his first major league extra-base hit. Kim today explained the difference between...

Another look at Saturday's tough loss, plus minors notes

Another look at Saturday's tough loss, plus minors notes
When the Orioles take a one-run lead to the eighth inning, they usually feel pretty good about getting the win in that game. But this time, Darren O'Day gave up the lead and Zach Britton got injured. Not at all what the Orioles had in mind when they took the field leading the Chicago White Sox 5-4 in the eighth last night. The Orioles had been 10-0 in 2016 when leading after seven innings. Seeing the bullpen give it up and have its worst night of the year was about as strange as seeing Manny...

Darren O'Day on tonight's loss and Zach Britton's injury (plus other clubhouse quotes)
It was the sight the Orioles did not want to see: their All-Star closer walking gingerly off the field tonight in the top of the ninth inning. Zach Britton suffered a sprained left ankle while trying to field a bunt single by White Sox leadoff hitter Adam Eaton. For now, Britton's status is day-to-day until the Orioles find out more about the injury on Sunday. Britton was getting treatment after the game and not available for interviews. Right-hander Darren O'Day allowed three runs in the...

Jose Abreu's single in ninth lifts Chicago to wild 8-7 win at Camden Yards

Jose Abreu's single in ninth lifts Chicago to wild 8-7 win at Camden Yards
The Orioles lost a tough game tonight to the Chicago White Sox and also saw their All-Star closer walk off the field with an apparent leg injury. They've had better nights at Camden Yards. Zach Britton came on for the ninth in a 7-7 tie. After two strikeouts, he allowed a bunt single up the first base line to Adam Eaton. Britton fielded the ball and tried to toss it directly from his glove. He was later limping and left with head athletic trainer Richie Bancells. That brought Vance Worley in,...

O's game blog: Orioles look to run win streak to four against Chicago

O's game blog: Orioles look to run win streak to four against Chicago
There are a few ups and downs in a long season and the Orioles offense can certainly attest to that. In the last four games of the Orioles' road trip that ended on Wednesday, their offense produced just five runs. But in the first two games of this series against the Chicago White Sox, the Orioles have scored 16 runs on 23 hits. Can the O's keep it going tonight and take the first three games of their series against Chicago? The White Sox brought an American League-best 16-6 record to Camden...

Brad Brach on his rare misstep and the bullpen's strong start

Brad Brach on his rare misstep and the bullpen's strong start
Orioles reliever Brad Brach has been so good this year that when something doesn't go his way, it almost catches you off guard. The right-hander took an ERA of 0.68 and opponent average against of .095 to the mound last night in the seventh inning. The Orioles were holding a 3-2 lead on the Chicago White Sox. Second baseman Brett Lawrie, whose error had cost his team two innings earlier, hit a 2-2 pitch out to left field to tie the game. It was a rare misstep for Brach, who quickly recovered...

Zach Britton's take on Mike Wright and that diving play for last out

Zach Britton's take on Mike Wright and that diving play for last out
Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton knows a little something about being a young and promising starting pitcher. He was one once and now is the Orioles' All-Star closer. After he got the final three outs last night as the O's beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3, I asked him if he has seen right-hander Mike Wright make progress in recent starts and in what ways. "I think the biggest thing with him and (Tyler) Wilson, too, you are watching now a more mature pitcher," Britton said. "When they get...

Nolan Reimold on the bunt sign that never came, plus other clubhouse quotes

Nolan Reimold on the bunt sign that never came, plus other clubhouse quotes
Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold said he thought he might get a bunt sign. In the Chicago clubhouse, White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon said he thought Reimold would, as well. But Rodon threw the pitch with two on and none out in the Orioles seventh and there was no bunt. Batting in a 3-3 tie, Reimold hit an opposite-field three-run homer to right to give the Orioles a 6-3 win over the White Sox. Reimold looked for that bunt sign that never came. "Then, you know, just regular approach,"...

Reimold's tiebreaking three-run homer lifts O's over White Sox
After seeing a 3-1 lead disappear tonight over the sixth and seventh innings and turn into a 3-3 tie, the Orioles moved quickly to get back in front. Their old friend the longball showed up just in time. Nolan Reimold's three-run homer to right snapped the 3-3 tie and lifted the Orioles to a 6-3 win over the Chicago White Sox at chilly Camden Yards. The Sox came to Camden Yards with a American League-best 16-6 record, but the O's have taken the first two games of the four-game series. The...

O's game blog: It's Mike Wright against Carlos Rodon at Camden Yards
After hitting just three home runs over an eight-game stretch, the Orioles hit three in one game last night. They beat the Chicago White Sox 10-2 on Thursday to start a four-game series and 10-game homestand. The Orioles' 31 homers rank fourth in the majors behind Arizona (36), St. Louis (33) and Colorado (33). The Orioles are 6-2 when they hit two or more homers. At 13-8, the Orioles have spent each day of the season in or tied for first place. Their 7-0 start made the Orioles the first...
