O's game blog: Kevin Gausman takes mound in finale vs. Rangers

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman takes mound in finale vs. Rangers
As he takes the mound tonight against Texas, Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman is probably hoping his July is less challenging than his month of June. Coming back from right shoulder tendinitis and a stay on the Baltimore disabled list, Gausman pitched with four different teams in June. Here is a look at his month: * June 6: Goes three innings for Single-A Frederick * June 11: Goes 3 1/3 innings for Double-A Bowie * June 16: Goes two innings for Frederick * June 20: Works five innings for the...

Darren O'Day on being in first place right now, plus other O's notes

Darren O'Day on being in first place right now, plus other O's notes
The Orioles have moved from fourth place to first place. But with 84 games to go, pitcher Darren O'Day said it's too soon to focus much on the standings right now. "I don't think the standings necessarily are a big deal yet," he said. "We are a proud team and we won the division last year. It's going to be a challenge with everyone coming for us, but we've been playing better baseball lately. We knew we would, it was just a matter of time." In his own unique and somewhat...

Chen on his outing, plus Hardy on his homer, Machado's defense and Young being DFA'd

Chen on his outing, plus Hardy on his homer, Machado's defense and Young being DFA'd
Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen was a bit of a stopper tonight for the Orioles. Sure, he did give up two homers, but they were solo shots and he held down a Texas team that had scored 16 runs and hit eight homers the past two nights. But don't call him a stopper though. "I didn't even think about that," he said through his translator. "All I wanted to do is focus on my game plan and not anything else." That he did, not allowing a run after the fourth inning and pitching eight strong innings on...

J.J. Hardy's tiebreaking homer in seventh lifts O's past Texas

J.J. Hardy's tiebreaking homer in seventh lifts O's past Texas
Did the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers at their own game tonight? Tied 2-2 in the last of the seventh, shortstop J.J. Hardy hit a two-run shot to left to break the tie and send the Orioles to a 4-2 win over the Rangers at Camden Yards. While Texas has hit 10 homers in this series, the Orioles have five, and No. 5 by Hardy was big. Chris Davis singled to start that inning against right-hander Nick Martinez, the losing pitcher. The single extended Davis' hitting streak to 11 games to tie his...

O's game blog: A look at tonight's game, Bowie's All-Stars, Stewart's debut and more
After winning 18 of 23 games, the Orioles have now lost the first two games of this series with Texas. The Orioles have not lost a series since they dropped three of four at Houston from June 1-4.

They have not lost more than two in a row since losing five straight from May 30-June 3. With the top four teams in the American League East losing the last two...

Kevin Gausman on challenges this year and making the start Thursday

Of his nine major league appearances this year, just one has been as a starter (June 20 at Toronto), but he's about to make his second start and pitch against Texas at home tomorrow night.

A look at the homer barrage at the Yard, plus Aberdeen's draft picks and other notes

A look at the homer barrage at the Yard, plus Aberdeen's draft picks and other notes
The ball was carrying at Camden Yards last night. There were seven homers hit between the teams, and Mitch Moreland and Chris Davis hit two each. But Moreland's second two-run shot, which gave Texas two insurance runs, and an 8-5 lead in the eighth, surprised a few Orioles. Even on a night when the ball was carrying so well. "That last one, I don't think even the hitter thought it would go out," Orioles outfielder Travis Snider said. "But, that is the elements and we understand this park...

Matt Wieters, Miguel Gonzalez and Chris Davis comment after O's loss to Texas

Matt Wieters, Miguel Gonzalez and Chris Davis comment after O's loss to Texas
Miguel Gonzalez gave up a season high six runs and a career-high-tying three homers tonight as Texas beat the Orioles 8-6 with another four-homer night at Camden Yards. "He just had a few mechanical flaws that kept him from throwing strikes like he normally does," catcher Matt Wieters said of Gonzalez. "When he doesn't have his fastball command, something is not quite right with him. But he'll get after it in his bullpen session and be ready to go his next start. "You have to make good...

Texas Rangers hit four more homers to beat the Orioles 8-6
On Sunday, two Orioles starting pitchers led their team to back-to-back shutout victories in one day.

Texas hit four total homers tonight in an 8-6 win over the Orioles to take the first two games of the series. The O's have dropped two in a row since winning 18 of 23 games.

O's game blog: It's Gonzalez against Lewis tonight at Camden Yards
Going into last night's game, the Texas Rangers had lost 11 of their last 12 games against the Orioles. But the Rangers hit four homers in an 8-1 win Monday night in the opener of a four-game series. The O's need a win to even the series tonight. Texas had lost seven of its last eight heading into this series, but, over a longer stretch, they were 23-16 before taking the opener. The Rangers are 24-19 on the road, and they have the most road wins in Major League Baseball. Also, the Rangers are...

A look at Bud Norris' struggles against left-handed batters

A look at Bud Norris' struggles against left-handed batters
Remember that pitcher who threw that great outing in Game 3 of the American League Division Series last year? The one that got the win against the Detroit Tigers and David Price? That was Bud Norris, but the Orioles have not seen Norris pitch this year as he did that day or for much of last season. Norris went 15-8 with a 3.65 ERA last year. After giving up four homers in a loss to Texas last night, Norris is 2-7 with an ERA of 6.79 in 11 starts this year. As some fans call for Norris to get...

Bud Norris on his struggles tonight and this season
After he struggled badly tonight, allowing four homers to tie his career high and five runs in six innings in a 8-1 loss to Texas, Orioles right-hander Bud Norris admitted that his confidence may have taken a hit this year. "Probably a little bit," he said. "This game is very humbling. I know what I can do and have to work through it. I know these guys are pushing me and that is encouraging. "I really didn't have much of my breaking stuff tonight, and three of the homers were on breaking...

For now, Jonathan Schoop works out with Orioles, awaiting next move

For now, Jonathan Schoop works out with Orioles, awaiting next move
For Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop, today was another day where he did some pregame work on the field at Camden Yards before batting practice. He'll work out with the team before the game, but he is still not on the active roster, and no decision has yet been made as to when that might happen. For now, Schoop is in a bit of a holding pattern. He could go to a minor league affiliate to continue his rehab assignment, which will last through July 3. He could be activated by the Orioles at...

O's 2009 top draft pick Matt Hobgood to have season-ending shoulder surgery
Right-hander Matt Hobgood, the Orioles' 2009 first-round draft pick, will have arthroscopic right shoulder surgery July 6 to remove a bone spur. The procedure will end his 2015 season. Hobgood is 1-1 with an ERA of 6.52 in six games this year at Double-A Bowie. He got off to a good start for the Baysox, throwing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his first two games, but a DL stint soon followed, and on June 19 he went back on the disabled list for the second time. The recovery time for this surgery...

A two-game display of pitching and power. Five homers, two shutouts and a 41-34 record for the Orioles, who move into first place in the American League East by percentage points. For Chris Tillman, it was a much-needed outing. He pitched seven scoreless on four hits, throwing 110 pitches in tonight's 8-0 win over Cleveland. He began the day with a 6.22 ERA.
