Caleb Joseph's bat is heating up for the Orioles

Caleb Joseph's bat is heating up for the Orioles
In case you have not noticed, catcher Caleb Joseph is becoming an offensive force for the Orioles. For the season, he is batting .255 with 11 homers and 42 RBIs over 75 games and 239 at-bats. Since regular starters usually get well over 500 at-bats over a full season, you can do the math to see how solid his run production has been. Not to mention his consistently solid performance on defense. In 10 games this month, Joseph is batting .353 with five doubles, four homers, 11 RBIs, an .853...

Steve Clevenger: "Playing in Baltimore is a dream come true for me"

Steve Clevenger: "Playing in Baltimore is a dream come true for me"
Tonight, the Baltimore kid made good. Steve Clevenger hit first career homer as an Oriole and it was a big one. In his 126th career at-bat with the club, Clevenger blasted a three-run shot off Sonny Gray. His homer off the American League ERA leader carried the Orioles to a 4-2 win over Oakland and a four-game sweep. And he did it at Camden Yards in front of family and friends. "I wasn't thinking about that right away until I got back into the dugout," he said. "It's awesome. Playing in...

Steve Clevenger hits three-run homer off Sonny Gray as O's top Oakland

Steve Clevenger hits three-run homer off Sonny Gray as O's top Oakland
For the Orioles, one big swing and one solid starting pitching performance led to a franchise first. The Orioles beat Oakland 4-2 tonight to complete their first ever home four-game sweep of the A's. The Orioles are now 61-56 overall and moved five games over .500 for the first time since July 2. They are 15-7 in their past 22 games and 36-20 at home for the season. Down 1-0 in the last of the fourth, designated hitter Steve Clevenger put the big swing on a Sonny Gray 0-2 pitch. Clevenger...

O's game blog: Orioles look for four-game sweep against AL ERA leader Sonny Gray

O's game blog: Orioles look for four-game sweep against AL ERA leader Sonny Gray
The Orioles have never swept a four-game home series against the Oakland A's. They have that chance tonight at Camden Yards. Their last four-game road sweep of Oakland was from May 22-25, 1987. It is also fair to say these teams don't often play four-game series. But this is one, and the Orioles have outscored Oakland 30-11 the last three games after Sunday's 18-2 win. Since they were no-hit by Hisashi Iwakuma on Wednesday, the Orioles have scored 30 runs in three games with 48 hits...

After home run robbery Sunday, Henry Urrutia talks about his improved defense

After home run robbery Sunday, Henry Urrutia talks about his improved defense
Does Henry Urrutia have ESP? Can he predict the future? Yesterday, it seemed he could. Urrutia is a player that, right or wrong, has had a reputation of being a sub-par defensive outfielder. But he made a couple of nice plays in left field yesterday including one where he went over the wall to rob Danny Valencia of a home run in the seventh inning. Before the game today, Urrutia told me that yesterday he sensed early in the game that he might get the chance to make a great play. "It's funny,...

Norfolk manager Ron Johnson on Urrutia, Alvarez and more

Norfolk manager Ron Johnson on Urrutia, Alvarez and more
On Friday I posted this story on the Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk Tides affiliate. The Tides are in first place in the International League's South division by 5 ½ games with a record of 70-51. In that story, we talked about the team overall and some of its strengths this year. But in a recent interview with Tides manager Ron Johnson, we also discussed several key players on the Norfolk team. One is outfielder Henry Urrutia, who has since joined the Orioles. Urrutia was hitting .292 with 10...

Adam Jones, Gerardo Parra and Caleb Joseph comment after O's blowout win over A's

Adam Jones, Gerardo Parra and Caleb Joseph comment after O's blowout win over A's
Just four days after being no-hit, the Orioles today tied their club record for hits in a game. They had 26 in an 18-2 romp over the Oakland A's. Since that no-hitter on Wednesday at Seattle, the Orioles have scored 30 runs the last three games on 48 hits with 10 homers and a team average of .375. "A lot of guys were (ticked) off at what happened," catcher Caleb Joseph said. "This club is capable of games like this. We have a lot of talent. After two walk-off wins, it might have been easy...

Orioles tie team record for hits in a game, pound Oakland 18-2

Orioles tie team record for hits in a game, pound Oakland 18-2
This time, no late-game heroics were necessary. Instead, an early-game barrage against the Oakland starting pitcher got it going. Then the O's offense kept it going. Leading 6-2 in the last of the fifth, the Orioles added to their lead, producing their biggest inning of the year in a 18-2 romp over the Oakland A's this afternoon at Camden Yards. The Orioles had 26 hits to tie their team record set on Aug. 28, 1980 at Memorial Stadium against the California Angels. The Orioles scored nine runs...

O's game blog: Orioles look for a third straight win against Oakland
The Orioles have won the first two games of this series with Oakland with walk-off victories on homers in the 13th on Friday by Manny Machado and in the ninth last night by Chris Davis. Davis now has 11 career multi-home run games (four this season) and has hit three career walk-off home runs. He also hit walk-off homers on June 23, 2014 against the White Sox and on May 14, 2009 versus Seattle as a member of the Texas Rangers. Davis' recent hot streak is something never before seen in O's...

To say the least, 25-year-old right-hander Mychal Givens has gotten his big league career off to a strong start. In five games in the majors for the Orioles, he has pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits. Givens has walked one, fanned 10 and has a .125 batting average against. Lefty batters are just 1-for-11 against him. Right-handed hitters are 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts against the sidearm delivery he features. Givens got his first major league win July 31 versus...

Chris Davis on his walk-off homer and Dan Duquette's pregame comments

Chris Davis on his walk-off homer and Dan Duquette's pregame comments
For the first time since July 22-23, 1998, the Orioles have won two straight games on walk-off homers. Manny Machado and Chris Davis got that done the last two nights against Oakland. Oakland was also victimized back in 1998 when Rafael Palmeiro and Lenny Webster delivered the game-winning homers. With two outs in the last of the ninth tonight, Davis faced Oakland switch-pitcher Pat Venditte. The A's hurler threw left-handed against Gerardo Parra and then right-handed against Adam Jones. He...

Another night, another comeback and another walk-off win for the Orioles.

O's game blog: Duquette and Showalter speak at "State of the Orioles" address
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter took questions from some of the club's season ticket holders today. It was their "State of the Orioles" address. Here are some of the question and answers from this afternoon's program. The duo got more pointed and specific questions today than in previous years, in my opinion. "Do not drop your expectations of what you expect us to be," Showalter told the fans early in the program. "We need you to hold us to a high...

Henry Urrutia on rejoining the Orioles and another shot in the majors

Henry Urrutia on rejoining the Orioles and another shot in the majors
For the first time since Sept. 10, 2013, Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia will play in a major league game tonight. Urrutia underwent sports hernia surgery that limited him to 65 minor league games in 2014. After a slow start this year at Triple-A - he was batting just .236 at the end of April - Urrutia has worked his way back to the Orioles. He was officially added to the roster today as Junior Lake was optioned back to Norfolk. Urrutia will start and bat eighth tonight as the DH against...

Zach Britton on the end of his saves streak and more from the O's Hall of Famers
So in their first game after being no-hit, the Orioles scored eight runs on 16 hits and hit three home runs. In their first game after pitching the no-hitter, the Seattle Mariners allowed 15 runs on 21 hits. The Mariners are the first team to allow 15 or more runs in the first game following a no-hitter since the 1905 Red Sox. So, yeah, baseball. Of the six relief pitchers the Orioles used last night, the only one that gave up any runs was closer Zach Britton. Yep, baseball. You can't explain...

Steve Clevenger on returning to the Orioles, Gerardo Parra on Melvin Mora
Baltimore native Steve Clevenger rejoined the Orioles today. He was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and David Lough was designated for assignment. Clevenger gives the Orioles a healthy second catcher. Matt Wieters said he feels better though, as he deals with a sore hamstring and remains on the active roster. "It's exciting to be here," Clevenger said this afternoon. "They are in a playoff run so I want to help the team any way I can." In 75 games with Norfolk, Clevenger has hit .305 with...
