With his back to the wall, O'Day went for the strikeout (plus other notes)

With his back to the wall, O'Day went for the strikeout (plus other notes)
Darren O'Day said sometimes you do go for a strikeout. Take the top of the ninth inning last night: the game was tied 1-1 with Tampa Bay, and O'Day gave up two singles and hit a batter to load the bases with no outs. Then Steven Souza Jr. came up. He had homered earlier in the game. "Yeah, a sac fly can score a run there," O'Day said. "You have to be able to strike a guy out once in a while when you are in the bullpen. So yeah, either strikeout, double play or pop up would have been good...

Hardy on winning hit, O'Day on his escape act and more from the clubhouse

Hardy on winning hit, O'Day on his escape act and more from the clubhouse
The Orioles were 0-16 this year when scoring two runs or less until tonight's 2-1, walk-off win over the Tampa Bay Rays. J.J. Hardy began the night batting .194, but he ended it getting mobbed by his teammates after his single provided the winning run and broke a 1-1 tie in the last of the ninth. He hit a 1-0 pitch from Steve Geltz into left, pinch-runner Everth Cabrera scored and the celebration was on for 45,505 at the Yard. "Just see the ball and put a good swing on it," Hardy said....

Walk-off win: O's top Rays on Hardy's single in last of the ninth

Walk-off win: O's top Rays on Hardy's single in last of the ninth
After a strong starting pitching performance and amazing escape act in the top of the ninth, the Orioles' offense did its part in the bottom of the ninth. J.J. Hardy's two-out RBI single gave the Orioles a 2-1 win walkoff win over the Tampa Bay Rays in front of a loud sellout crowd of 45,505. This was Buck Showalter's 400th win as O's manager and the Orioles' second walkoff win of the year. The first was April 25 versus Boston. Travis Snider led off the winning rally with an infield single...

O's game blog: Back to the East as the Orioles host Tampa Bay
It has been over two weeks since the Orioles played another American League East team, but that streak ends tonight as they begin a weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays here at Camden Yards. The Orioles are 4-2 against the Rays, winning two road series in St. Petersburg earlier this season. The games have been very low scoring. In the last four, between the teams, the total runs scored in each game were two, two, four and six. O's pitchers have an ERA of 2.21 in the six games where the...

David Lough hopes to take advantage of playing time to earn more (Heim update)

David Lough hopes to take advantage of playing time to earn more (Heim update)
After Alejandro De Aza was designated for assignment by the Orioles, it would seem that opened up more at-bats for someone at a corner outfield spot. Who that may be, we are going to find out. But right now, with Jimmy Paredes as the everyday designated hitter, there are still four players vying for playing time in left and right field: Steve Pearce, Delmon Young, Travis Snider and David Lough. Lough is starting in left field and batting seventh tonight. He started Game 2 last night, so this is...

Previewing the First-Year Player Draft with O's scouting director Gary Rajsich
Orioles scouting director Gary Rajsich is about to make selections for his fourth draft for the organization. He selected pitcher Kevin Gausman fourth overall in 2012 and pitcher Hunter Harvey with the 22nd pick in 2013. Last year, the Orioles did not have a first-round pick. Their first selection was No. 90 overall in the third round, when the club took high school left-hander Brian Gonzalez. The First-Year Player Draft, consisting of 40 rounds over three days, begins a week from Monday on...

Machado on his Game 1 ejection and the Orioles' offense (plus more clubhouse quotes)

Machado on his Game 1 ejection and the Orioles' offense (plus more clubhouse quotes)
Manny Machado saw a group of reporters around his locker and knew why they were there ... to ask the 22-year-old third baseman about his Game 1 ejection. Machado was tossed by home plate umpire Toby Basner in the opener when he struck out in the last of the eighth. He wanted Basner to check with another umpire to see if he checked his swing in time. Basner did not, and Machado slammed his bat to the ground and was tossed. It was his third ejection in two years. He was tossed June 27, 2013 for...

Mike Wright gets the win, six O's drive in runs in victory over Chicago

Mike Wright gets the win, six O's drive in runs in victory over Chicago
Mike Wright's scoreless streak ended with the first batter he faced today. But he stuck around long enough to get a win, and the slumping Orioles offense came up with four early runs behind him. Six Orioles drove in runs to back Wright as the Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 to gain a split of the doubleheader. Chicago won the first game, 3-2, behind Chris Sale who fanned 12. The Orioles improved to 22-24 with their third win in five games and seventh in the last 12. They are 17-7 versus...

O's game blog: Wilson on his Game 1 start and Wright on the mound for Game 2
Tyler Wilson pitched well but took the loss in Game 1 of the doubleheader. He talked about his outing, going six innings and allowing five hits and two runs against Chicago in his first major league start. "I felt pretty good," Wilson said. "Felt like I commanded the zone with all pitches today. Biggest takeway was walking the leadoff guy in the sixth inning, can't happen. They executed a hit and run well and (Adam) LaRoche hit a 2-0 changeup that just got out of the reach of Adam (Jones)....

O's game blog: Tyler Wilson makes his first major league start in doubleheader opener
After taking two of three games from the first-place Houston Astros, the Orioles host the Chicago White Sox for a doubleheader here this afternoon at Camden Yards. Houston was 11-4 in one-run games when the series in Baltimore started, but lost both one-run games in the series. Chris Davis hit two homers in last night's win, his first multi-homer game this year and eighth of his career. His last was a three-homer game last May 20 at Pittsburgh. For the Orioles, it was their fifth three-homer...

Clevenger said improved changeup has been big for Wilson this year
As Tyler Wilson takes the mound this afternoon, making his first major league start, catcher Steve Clevenger will be looking on from the Orioles dugout as Caleb Joseph catches the doubleheader opener. But Clevenger has been a part of Wilson's strong 2015 season at Triple-A Norfolk where he went 2-4 with a 3.29 ERA. Wilson has made eight starts for Norfolk this year, and Clevenger was the catcher for six of them. Clevenger said an improved changeup has been big for Wilson this season. If you...

Homegrown pride: From Bowie to Baltimore, Kendall proud of O's rookie hurlers

Homegrown pride: From Bowie to Baltimore, Kendall proud of O's rookie hurlers
Having Tyler Wilson and Mike Wright both start today for the Orioles has to provide a sense of pride for the O's organization. They are homegrown, drafted and developed pitchers who will try to pitch the big club to victories. Wilson, Wright and Oliver Drake, who was recently called up, all spent more time with Double-A Bowie than any other O's farm team. Bowie's Gary Kendall managed those three pitchers longer than any other O's minor league skipper. He knows them all well, and he and his...

Bud Norris on his outing at Bowie

Bud Norris on his outing at Bowie
BOWIE, Md. - For the first three innings tonight, Bud Norris looked more like the pitcher that went 15-8 with a 3.65 ERA last year than the one that is 1-4 with a 9.88 ERA for the Orioles this season. On the Orioles disabled list with bronchitis retroactive to May 11, Norris started for Double-A Bowie tonight against Erie. He did not allow a run or hit through three innings, but then Erie got to him for six hits and four runs over the last two frames of his five-inning outing. After losing 14...

Bud Norris starts his Bowie outing with two scoreless innings (Norris out after five)
BOWIE, Md. - Showing a mid 90s fastball and a solid slider, Orioles right-hander Bud Norris started his outing tonight at Double-A Bowie with two scoreless innings against the Erie Seawolves. Norris retired the side in order on 13 pitches in the top of the first, hitting 95 mph on the Prince George's Stadium radar gun. Shortstop Ozzie Martinez made a very nice play getting the first out on a sprawling catch of a popup in short left field. Norris hit a batter with one out in the second, but...

In Bowie, Dylan Bundy provides an update on his MRI today
BOWIE, Md. - Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy had an MRI this morning in Baltimore that found inflammation, but no structural damage, in his right shoulder. Bundy said he will rest for a week and then have a follow-up MRI. Why does he need a second MRI? "Just to re-check it in case the inflammation covered up some other stuff," he told MASNsports.com this afternoon outside the Bowie clubhouse. "Had the MRI at seven this morning. There is inflammation in the shoulder, so we are going...

O's game blog: Jimenez on the mound in series finale against Houston
The Orioles latest chance to get their offense going comes this afternoon when they host Houston in the finale of a three-game series. The Orioles were held to one run and five hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss, and they've scored two runs or less in eight of their last 15 games. They have scored just seven runs over the last 40 innings. The O's team batting average, which was .286 on April 29, has dropped to .255. When they play the third game of a series this year where the teams have split the...

Bowie's Branden Kline to have PRP injection, plus other minor league updates

Bowie's Branden Kline to have PRP injection, plus other minor league updates
As of late this morning, there was no information available yet on Dylan Bundy's MRI today but the Orioles at this point are expecting the same news from yesterday - that the shoulder issue is on the minor side. Today's precautionary MRI was just to take a closer look, but if this does in fact turn out to be shoulder/rotater cuff tendinitis, it could set Bundy back at least a couple of weeks. He would likely need to take a week or so off from throwing. Then he would likely have to throw a few...

Alan Mills on Givens and Bundy (plus more on O's struggling offense)
He was drafted as a shortstop, but now he is playing to rave reviews as a pitcher in the Orioles farm system. Mychal Givens was selected by the Orioles out of Plant High School in Tampa, Fla., in the second round of the 2009 draft. He was signed to an $800,000 bonus, and the Orioles envisioned him developing into an athletic shortstop that could eventually produce some power. But when Givens' offense didn't come around as they had hoped, the Orioles moved him to the mound. He had pitched some...

Matt Wieters on night in Bowie and returning soon to the Orioles
BOWIE, Md. - Orioles catcher Matt Wieters went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and threw out a runner trying to steal tonight in his first rehab game for Double-A Bowie as the Baysox beat Erie 4-2. Wieters said the plan calls for him to work out in Baltimore tomorrow and not play here. He'll return to catch for Bowie on Thursday and Saturday, and he could then join another affiliate for a home game or two after Bowie's homestand ends Sunday. One scenario would see him play Monday at Single-A...
