O's game blog: Can O's keep it going in Philadelphia?

O's game blog: Can O's keep it going in Philadelphia?
Coming off their club-record eight-homer game and 19-3 win last night, the Orioles begin a two-game series against the Phillies tonight at Citzens Bank Park. The Orioles' homer total of eight last night exceeded their hits total from 28 games this season. The Orioles had 17 hits last night - seven of the homers were solo shots - and raised their team average from .256 to .260 in that game. At 33-31, the O's can go three games over .500 tonight for the first time all year. They have won eight...

Travis Snider on mindset vs. Philly and a take on Scott Boras' comments on Wei-Yin Chen

Travis Snider on mindset vs. Philly and a take on Scott Boras' comments on Wei-Yin Chen
The Orioles are playing very good baseball right now. The Philadephia Phillies are not. The Orioles crushed the Phillies last night, leading 12-0 in the third on their way to a 19-3 win. The night saw the Orioles set a team record by hitting eight home runs, and their 19 runs were the most by an Orioles team since they scored 23 on Sept. 28, 2000 against Toronto. The Phillies have lost eight in a row. Over their last 12 games, they are 1-11. Over their last 12 road games, they are 0-12. It's...

Chris Parmelee: "Pretty good way to start, right?" (Gausman, clubhouse quotes)

Chris Parmelee: "Pretty good way to start, right?" (Gausman, clubhouse quotes)
Tonight, Chris Parmelee became the second Oriole to hit two homers in his O's debut, joining Sam Horn who did that on April 9, 1990 at Kansas City on Opening Day. His teammates added six other homers as the Orioles hit a team-record eight in their 19-3 rout over the Philadelphia Phillies at Camden Yards. He went 4-for-6 with two RBIs and three runs, setting a personal career high in hits. His night was so good that when he grounded out in the seventh inning, he got a standing ovation running...

Orioles set team record with eight home runs in rout of Phillies
The Orioles are a defending division champion who are playing well right now. The Phillies are not a good team and are definitely not playing well right now. When those forces met tonight, the O's took a 12-0 lead in the third inning on their way to hitting a club-record eight home runs. They routed Philadelphia 19-3 at Camden Yards. The O's sweep this two-game series and now head to Philly for another one beginning Wednesday night. The Orioles had hit seven homers in a game three times...

O's game blog: Ryan Mountcastle signs and a look at tonight's game

O's game blog: Ryan Mountcastle signs and a look at tonight's game
The Orioles have officially announced the signing of just one of their draft picks but many more should soon follow. The Orioles are likely to have signed 10 of their first 11 picks by this Saturday. The only one that would not be in that group is their top pick, outfielder DJ Stewart of Florida State. I have not heard of any negotiating holdups with Stewart, it is just going to take longer than some others. But it certainly should get done. Today, the Orioles announced the signing of their...

Gausman works his way back, Snider on the Phillies (draft update)

Gausman works his way back, Snider on the Phillies (draft update)
Kevin Gausman's next step, as he continues to work his way back possibly to the Orioles rotation, comes tonight when the right-hander is scheduled to make a rehab start at Single-A Frederick for the Keys. Gausman is slated to pitch just two innings leading to speculation that his next start after this one could come on short rest for the Orioles. That would possibly be on Friday night. He could also potentially return to the team in a bullpen role or be activated and optioned to the minors,...

Chen on his outing, Wieters on Chen, Snider on the win

Chen on his outing, Wieters on Chen, Snider on the win
Wei-Yin Chen was on top of his game tonight and maybe that had the Philadelphia Phillies batters hitting on top of the ball. On his way to pitching eight scoreless innings, Chen rolled through the first six innings on just 67 pitches. The Phillies hit just one ball out of the infield in the first six frames with 11 outs on ground balls and five on strikeouts mixed in. "I felt great and all my pitches were working today," Chen said through his interpreter Louis Chao. "(Matt) Wieters called a...

Matt Wieters with a three-run homer to back Wei-Yin Chen as O's top Philadelphia

Matt Wieters with a three-run homer to back Wei-Yin Chen as O's top Philadelphia
When Adam Jones hustled up the first-base line tonight, beating out what could have been an inning-ending double play grounder, it led to three big runs for the Orioles. Jones' hustle kept the sixth inning going for the Orioles. A two-out walk to Chris Davis followed and then Matt Wieters launched a three-run homer to right to turn a 1-0 game into a 4-0 lead. The hustle, the homer and Wei-Yin Chen's strong pitching propelled the O's to a 4-0 win over the Phillies at Camden Yards. The teams...

O's game blog: Orioles have won eight of 10 heading into Philly series
As one winning streak came to an end on Sunday, the Orioles will look to start another tonight when they host the Philadelphia Phillies at Camden Yards. The teams are scheduled to play the next two nights in Baltimore and then Wednesday and Thursday in Philadelphia. Tonight's game is not starting on a time. The tarp is on the field and we're in a rain delay as the scheduled game time approaches. But just moments ago the Orioles announced a planned 7:30 p.m. start time for the game. The...

Delmarva third baseman Jomar Reyes will miss time with a thumb injury

Delmarva third baseman Jomar Reyes will miss time with a thumb injury
Single-A Delmarva third baseman Jomar Reyes is going to miss some time with a sprained right thumb that will need to be immobilized for a couple of weeks. The 18-year-old from the Dominican Republic, who is ranked as the No. 10 Orioles prospect by Baseball America, will be placed on the disabled list. This injury will force him to miss the South Atlantic League All-Star Game set for June 23. But the news could have been worse, and there is no break or surgery needed for Reyes. For the...

From shortstop to the mound: Bowie's Mychal Givens could be on a fast track to Baltimore

From shortstop to the mound: Bowie's Mychal Givens could be on a fast track to Baltimore
He began his Orioles minor league career as a shortstop, but Mychal Givens is now a pitcher - and he could be on a fast track to Baltimore. There are some that feel the Double-A Bowie reliever could even make it to the Orioles roster before the 2015 season ends. Throwing mid-90s fastballs that sometimes touch the higher 90s from a sidearm delivery, Givens has made rapid improvement since he moved to the mound for the 2013 season. His fastball shows late life with heavy sink at time, and he also...

Mike Wright and Brian Matusz talk about the top of the fifth in loss to New York Yankees

Mike Wright and Brian Matusz talk about the top of the fifth in loss to New York Yankees
The game probably came down to the three batters right-hander Mike Wright faced in the top of the fifth inning. On a hot day, he tried to battle his way through the second, third and fourth hitters in the New York lineup, but three walks led to three runs as the Yankees beat the Orioles 5-3 this afternoon. The rookie walked Chase Headley, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira to start the fifth, and all three scored as the Yankees turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead. "It was a hot day and I got a...

Yankees take advantage of walks to get lead, beat Orioles 5-3

Yankees take advantage of walks to get lead, beat Orioles 5-3
Orioles right-hander Mike Wright had worked out of some jams earlier in the game and retired the Yankees 1-2-3 in the fourth inning. So manager Buck Showalter probably felt confident the rookie could give him another inning as Wright took the mound for the fifth inning with his pitch count at 86 and a 3-2 lead. But he walked the Yankees' Chase Headley to lead off the frame. Then, he walked Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira to load the bases with no outs. Handed a rally, the Yankees cashed that...

O's game blog: Mike Wright on the mound as O's look for sweep of the Yankees
After outscoring the Yankees by a combined score of 20-7 the last two nights, today the Orioles look for a three-game sweep of New York at Camden Yards. At 31-30, the Orioles are over the .500 mark for the first time since May 3 when they were 12-11. A win today would tie a season-high and put the Orioles two games over .500. They have been there twice - at 2-0 and again at 7-5 on April 19. The Orioles have won six in a row. A victory today and they will have their longest win streak since...

Nolan Reimold on Buck Showalter's comments about him and more
On Thursday night, in his second game since rejoining the Orioles, outfielder Nolan Reimold played a key role in the Orioles' 6-5 win over Boston. He homered and made several nice plays in the field. After that game manager Buck Showalter made these comments about Reimold: "I was thinking tonight watching Nolan, this is a guy who basically broke his neck diving in the stands for his team, his family, his city, whatever," Showalter said. "Going after some of the balls tonight, it just...

O's surge closer to top of AL East with six-game win streak
So the Orioles have put together a six-game win streak, and beyond just reeling off those wins, the Orioles have beaten two American League East teams in the process. They pretty much sent Boston out of Camden Yards reeling, and now they've slowed a Yankees team that was 11-4 in its previous 15 games when they got to Baltimore. According to STATS, today the Orioles go for their first consecutive sweep of Boston and New York since Sept. 9-13, 1970. The O's have knocked off the division...
