O's beat Cleveland, post two shutouts in twinbill for first time since 1974

O's beat Cleveland, post two shutouts in twinbill for first time since 1974
The Orioles used a big inning to get a big win, one that moved them into first place by percentage points in the American League East. A strong pitching performance from Chris Tillman didn't hurt either. The Orioles beat Cleveland 8-0 in front of 40,006 to sweep the day-night doubleheader and improve to 41-34 for a winning percentage of .547. It puts them ahead of Tampa Bay at .545 (42-35). The Orioles posted two shutouts in a doubleheader for the first time since Sept. 6, 1974 at Cleveland....

O's game blog: Chris Tillman takes the mound as O's look for a sweep
The Orioles look for a doubleheader victory and to move into first place in the American League East (by percentage points) if they beat the Cleveland Indians tonight at Camden Yards. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings while Manny Machado and Jimmy Paredes homered in the day portion of the doubleheader as the O's beat Cleveland 4-0. The Orioles have won six of seven, nine of 12 and 17 of their last 22 games. On the mound for Game 2, right-hander Chris Tillman (5-7, 6.22 ERA) faces...

Ubaldo Jimenez: "That is why you come to the stadium every day, to be part of that"

Ubaldo Jimenez: "That is why you come to the stadium every day, to be part of that"
On this date last year, Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez was 2-8 with an ERA of 4.70. After picking up the Game 1 win against Cleveland this afternoon, he is now 7-3 with a 3.09 ERA. That is one more win than he had in 25 games last season. After he pitched eight scoreless innings, Jimenez talked about pitching so well this year and leaving the mound in the eighth inning to a standing ovation. "It is fun," he said. "That is why you come to the stadium every day, to be part of that. You...

Ubaldo Jimenez pitches eight scoreless innings as O's top Tribe in Game 1

Ubaldo Jimenez pitches eight scoreless innings as O's top Tribe in Game 1
Ubaldo Jimenez delivered a very strong outing against his former team. Manny Machado and Jimmy Paredes continued their hot hitting. It added up to a 4-0 win for the Orioles over Cleveland in the opener of the day-night doubleheader as a sellout crowd of 45,675 looked on at Camden Yards. The game was the Orioles' 5,000th regular season win since moving to Baltimore in 1954. Jimenez gave up just four singles over eight innings as he improved to 7-3 with an ERA of 3.09. He did not walk a batter...

O's game blog: It's Jimenez on the mound for Game 1 (Rajsich comments on Stewart)
Since they moved to Baltimore in 1954, the Orioles have 4,999 regular season wins. Today, they get two cracks at No. 5,000 while hosting Cleveland in a day-night doublheader. The Orioles look to continue their recent winning ways this afternoon in Game 1. Before Saturday's rainout, the Orioles won the series opener 4-3 on Friday night to improve to 5-2 against the American League Central and to 11-10 in one-run games. They are 14-12 in the first game of a series. Looking to go a season-high...

Adam Jones on returning to the Orioles lineup today

Adam Jones on returning to the Orioles lineup today
Saying he's "good to go," Adam Jones returns to the Orioles lineup. He has missed the last five games and has not played in the field since June 15, but he will today, starting in center field and batting third in the opener of a day-night doubleheader with Cleveland. Jones has been out with a sore right shoulder. But he said the soreness was gone three days ago and he's tested the shoulder each of the last three days. Does he feel 100 percent? "Yep. Back in the lineup and ready to play,"...

A look at the Orioles' success on first-pitch swings, plus other notes

A look at the Orioles' success on first-pitch swings, plus other notes
We all know the Orioles as a team are generally pretty aggressive hitters. They are not known for working the count, and if you throw the first pitch to their liking, they will hack at it. But the stat sheet tells us that the Orioles have success when they swing at the first pitch. American League leaders, batting average on first pitch: .377 - Texas .358 - Orioles .354 - Cleveland .347 - Detroit The Orioles are not the only team getting a solid number of hits with first-pitch hacking as 13 AL...

Chris Davis on the O's overcoming injuries and the mood in a winning clubhouse (Stewart note)

Chris Davis on the O's overcoming injuries and the mood in a winning clubhouse (Stewart note)
Chris Davis was asked before Friday's game against Cleveland if he is starting to see similarities between the 2014 and 2015 Orioles? "I'm sure there are things you compare to last year, but it's a different club and a different group of guys. We're starting to finally play our brand of baseball, and it's fun to enjoy the winning. "It would have been easy to get down on ourselves early. Just been really proud of the way these guys have battled. That was a big road trip for us. We did a...

Jimmy Paredes, Zach Britton and more from O's clubhouse after win over Cleveland

Jimmy Paredes, Zach Britton and more from O's clubhouse after win over Cleveland
Jimmy Paredes is back swinging the bat well, which has been big for the Orioles. He had three hits - including two doubles - tonight in four at-bats in the O's 4-3 win over Cleveland, their 16th win in their last 21 games. He singled in the sixth then crossed the plate for the tying run; leading off the eighth, he doubled and then scored the go-ahead run on a Chris Davis single to break a 3-3 tie. Over his last five games, Paredes is 11-for-21 (.524). Over his last 12 games, he is 19-for-48...

O's push across run in eighth on Chris Davis' single to beat Indians 4-3
The Orioles had to get the lead twice tonight, but they did so with clutch hits in the sixth and eighth innings to beat Cleveland 4-3 in front of 31,112 at Camden Yards in the opener of the series and a seven-game homestand. The Orioles are 39-34 and go five games over the .500 mark for the first time in 2015. After 2014 Cy Young Winner Corey Kluber allowed three runs over seven innings, Marc Rzepczynski came on to start the eighth in a 3-3 tie and was greeted by three hits on three pitches as...

The last time the Orioles were home, they completed a 7-1 (.875) homestand.

During brief Camden Yards visit, Jonathan Schoop said he's ready to return to O's
Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop was at Camden Yards and took the field this afternoon, but he will play in another game tonight at Double-A Bowie and has not yet been activated by the Orioles. Schoop ran sprints and ran the bases well before batting practice as Orioles vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson looked on, along with manager Buck Showalter, head athletic trainer Richie Bancells and assistant athletic trainer Brian Ebel. Schoop may not be activated before Monday...

Orioles reach agreement with top draft pick DJ Stewart

Orioles reach agreement with top draft pick DJ Stewart
The Orioles have reached an agreement with their top draft pick, Florida State outfielder DJ Stewart, who is expected to get a signing bonus of $2,064,500. That is the exact slot value for the No. 25 pick in Round 1 of the draft. Stewart is in Baltimore today to get a physical, which would lead to the Orioles making an official announcement of his signing when he passes. While one industry source cautioned that the deal may not be "100 complete," it certainly seems headed that way as draft...

O's depth, including top levels on farm, will serve team well over long season

O's depth, including top levels on farm, will serve team well over long season
The Orioles have reached a point now where each roster move seems to bring about a very difficult decision. They are getting contributions from just about everyone on their current 25-man active roster and removing any player now would mean subtracting a player that has helped the team during its current 15-5 run. Decisions, decisions. The roster crush has arrived. Not only will upcoming roster decisions be very difficult ones, but players who might help the Orioles and are playing well in the...

O's get six runs off Eduardo Rodriguez, beat Boston and take series

O's get six runs off Eduardo Rodriguez, beat Boston and take series
Former Orioles pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez was rolling early in today's game against the Orioles. He retired the first nine batters with five strikeouts on 36 pitches. Who knew then that he would not make it out of the fourth inning? The Orioles pounded Rodriguez for seven consecutive hits that produced six runs in the top of the fourth and went on to outlast Boston 8-6 at Fenway Park. The Orioles are 38-34 and have won seven of 10, 13 of 17, and 15 of their last 20 games. They won...

Can O's brush off tough loss today? (plus notes on Schoop, Alvarez and more)

Can O's brush off tough loss today? (plus notes on Schoop, Alvarez and more)
That was one ugly last of the sixth inning last night for the Orioles. They made two errors and allowed five unearned runs in helping Boston to a 5-1 win. Consider that the Orioles had allowed just one unearned run in 21 games in June before giving up five in one inning last night - ugly indeed. The Orioles allowed eight unearned runs in all of April and seven in all of May. So last night's mess was an outlier - one they must move past quickly as they try to beat former Oriole prospect Eduardo...

Rough inning: O's allow five unearned runs in sixth as they lose at Boston
Bud Norris was rolling along with a three-hit shutout on 58 pitches through five innings. The Orioles provided him a 1-0 lead in the top of the sixth, but the last of the sixth was a horror show for the Orioles tonight. It began with two errors that opened the door for five Boston unearned runs as the Red Sox beat the Orioles 5-1 at Fenway Park tonight, ending a six-game losing streak against Baltimore. Former Oriole Alejandro De Aza hit a grounder to first to lead off that frame for Boston....

O's game blog: Orioles own longest in-season win streak against Boston since 1961
We start with a great note today courtesy of Orioles public relations and Elias Sports Bureau: Tuesday night's 6-4 win at Fenway Park marked the Orioles' sixth consecutive victory over the Red Sox, all coming this season. It is the first time since 1961 that the Orioles have won six consecutive games against the Red Sox within one season. The O's won seven straight in 1961. Meanwhile, the Orioles have been winning a lot lately, but they have been doing so without getting a lot of innings...

Darren O'Day on Mychal Givens: "He is super talented"

Darren O'Day on Mychal Givens: "He is super talented"
During a recent conversation with Orioles right-hander reliever Darren O'Day, the topic turned to another pitcher that has a sidearm release point, not as far down under as O'Day's, but there are some similarities. We talked about then Double-A Bowie hurler and now Orioles pitcher Mychal Givens. Givens was called up by the Orioles from Bowie on Saturday after going 3-1 with a 1.60 ERA and 12 saves in 23 Bowie games. Over 39 1/3 innings with the Baysox, he walked 11, fanned 54 and gave up a...
