Orioles have lost four of five on homestand after promising start

Orioles have lost four of five on homestand after promising start
It sure feels like the Orioles missed a real chance the last few days. The Twins have a winning percentage of .479 this year when they are playing any team except the Orioles. They are 6-0 against Baltimore. When the Orioles went to Minnesota in early July, the Twins were just 13-20 in their previous 33 games. They then swept three straight from the Orioles. When the Twins came to Baltimore for this series they were 13-22 over their previous 35 games. Now they have won three in a row against...

Minnesota rallies to beat Orioles, improving to 6-0 against Birds

Minnesota rallies to beat Orioles, improving to 6-0 against Birds
Chris Tillman looked to be pitching a strong game. The Orioles took the lead by one run twice. But once again, they could not beat the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh to beat the Orioles 3-2 at Camden Yards. The Twins are 3-0 in this series and 6-0 this season against the Orioles. They have outscored the Orioles 39-15 and have won all four games between the teams decided by two runs or less. This long homestand that produced a promising 4-0 start has...

O's game blog: Orioles look for first win against Twins with Tillman on mound

O's game blog: Orioles look for first win against Twins with Tillman on mound
Last night, the Orioles lost 4-3 to the Twins as they scored three runs or less for the 52nd time this year. If it seems like they are scoring three or less a lot this year, they really are not - at least not compared to last year's 96-win, division champion Orioles. But they are winning a lesser percentage of such games. The 2014 Orioles scored three or less 44.4 percent of the time, going 21-51 in those games for a winning percentage of .291. The 2015 Orioles have scored three or less in...

A few notes after the O's Friday loss to the Twins

A few notes after the O's Friday loss to the Twins
So the Orioles still have the chance for a 7-3 homestand. But they'll need to win the next two games against Minnesota. That means they also have the chance to have a 5-5 homestand. When they started the homestand going 4-0, 7-3 or less doesn't sound as good. They've lost three of four games after giving up three in the eighth inning to lose last night. The Twins are 5-0 against the Orioles and they have outscored the Birds 36-13 in those games. The O's have hit just .229 in the season...

Darren O'Day talks about the Twins' three-run rally in the eighth

Darren O'Day talks about the Twins' three-run rally in the eighth
This time Orioles right-hander Darren O'Day could not pull off the magic act of getting out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam. The Minnesota Twins scored three runs off him in the eighth inning tonight to beat the Orioles 4-3 at Camden Yards. The Orioles lost for just the second time all year when leading after seven innings. They are now 51-2. A walk, a bloop hit and a hit by pitch loaded the bases and the Twins plated all three runners to come from behind and get their fifth win in five games...

O's lose lead and game, fall 4-3 as Twins score three in eighth
Six outs away from an important win over the Minnesota Twins, things unraveled for the Orioles tonight amid a few bloop hits and other miscues in the top of the eighth inning. Trailing by two runs at the start of the inning, Minnesota scored three runs off Darren O'Day in that frame to come from behind and beat the Orioles 4-3 in front of 32,025 at Camden Yards. The Twins have taken the first two games of this series and are 5-0 versus the Orioles this year, outscoring them 36-13. Miguel Sano...

Chaz Roe closer to return to Orioles (O'Brien on his no-hitter for Frederick)
Right-hander Chaz Roe is working his way back to a return to the Orioles bullpen. He's been on the disabled list since Aug. 10 with right shoulder tendinitis. He has resumed throwing and manager Buck Showalter said he could return around Sept. 1 or not long after when the rosters can be expanded to 40 players.Roe is 2-2 with a 3.12 ERA in 28 games. But, after pitching to an ERA of 0.90 his first 15 Orioles appearances, his ERA is 6.14 over his last 13 games and 14 2/3 innings. He said in his...

Miguel Gonzalez on the loss against Minnesota and his struggles this year

Miguel Gonzalez on the loss against Minnesota and his struggles this year
Why is right-hander Miguel Gonzalez struggling so much right now? This is a pitcher that went 10-9 last year with a 3.23 ERA. He pitched to an ERA of 2.19 his last 11 starts. He went 5-2 with an ERA of 2.78 against the American League East. The track record is there. But now his record is 9-9 with an ERA of 4.73.

Miguel Gonzalez has short night after long delay as Twins hammer O's
It started out well for Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez. He retired the side in order on 11 pitches to start tonight's game. But before the second inning was over he trailed by five and lasted just five innings as the Minnesota Twins hammered the Orioles 15-2 at Camden Yards. The Twins are 4-0 this year against the Orioles. They began tonight with a record of 13-22 since they completed a three-game sweep of the Orioles in Minnesota from July 6-8.

O's game blog: O's are 5-1 on homestand as series with Minnesota begins
Tonight's game will not start on time. The tarp is on the field and the Orioles and Twins are in a rain delay for now. The Orioles have gone 5-1 on this homestand against the Oakland Athletics (4-0) and the New York Mets (1-1). Now they welcome the Minnesota Twins to town to, weather permitting, start a four-game series. The Orioles (62-57) have won 16 of their last 24 games. Since they were a season-low six games under the .500 mark June 3 at 23-29, they have gone 39-28 for a .582 winning...

A look at Urrutia's big night, Schoop's redemption and Jimenez's struggles

A look at Urrutia's big night, Schoop's redemption and Jimenez's struggles
Well, not all nights at the ballpark are created equal. Sometimes you see something special, fun or emotional or maybe all of the above. We seemed to get that and more last night when Henry Urrutia hit that walk-off homer to left in the last of the ninth. We saw history in that Urrutia became just the fifth Oriole to have his first career homer be a walk-off shot. We saw the Orioles produce their third walk-off homer in six games on this homestand. We saw and heard from the emotional Urrutia...

Henry Urrutia: "This is the best moment in all of my career"

Henry Urrutia: "This is the best moment in all of my career"
Henry Urrutia tonight became the fifth player in Orioles history to produce a walk-off win with his first major league homer. Outfielder Merv Rettenmund was the first to do so in 1968, and the list also includes pitcher Jim Hardin in 1969, catcher Dave Criscione in 1977 and catcher Chris Hoiles in 1990. With his homer to left on a 1-2 pitch leading off the ninth inning, Urrutia not only gave his club an important 5-4 win over the Mets, he created a moment that he will never forget. "This is...

Another walk-off: Henry Urrutia's first MLB homer lifts O's over Mets
That was not a bad time for Henry Urrutia to hit his first major league home run. He hit a 1-2 pitch off Mets reliever Carlos Torres to the opposite field. His blast just over the left-field wall leading off the last of the ninth gave the Orioles a 5-4 win over the New York Mets in front of 36,165 at Camden Yards. The homer improved the Orioles to 62-57 with their 16th win in the last 24 games. It was the Orioles' sixth walk-off win of the year and third on this homestand. The O's ended a...

O's manager Buck Showalter takes note as Norfolk and Bowie close in on division titles
As the Orioles top two minor league affiliates, Triple-A Norfolk and Double-A Bowie, close in on division championships, their accomplishments are being noted in the dugout in Baltimore. That should come as no surprise. Orioles manager Buck Showalter often takes time during his afternoon press conferences to throw props and praise to players and coaches from the minors. He did again today. Norfolk is 72-51 and leading its division by 6 1/2 games over Gwinnett with 21 games to play. The Tides...

Former O's minor league slugger settles in as hitting coach (plus Orioles notes)

He was hired this year to serve as hitting coach at short season Single-A Aberdeen, where he is currently working with top draft pick DJ Stewart and other IronBirds batters.

The Orioles tonight welcome the New York Mets to Camden Yards to start a two-game series.

The Mets got swept three straight by the Pirates over the weekend. Before that, New York won 11 of 13 games to surge into first place.
