Matusz trying to extend quality start streak

Matusz trying to extend quality start streak
Left-hander Brian Matusz has registered quality starts in his last two outings, and he'll go for three in a row this afternoon against the Royals. Matusz has allowed four runs and nine hits in his last 12 1/3 innings, with two walks and 11 strikeouts. He's permitted six earned runs in his last three starts and 18 innings. It's imperative that Matusz, who's 4-1 in May, continues to pitch effectively with left-hander Zach Britton perhaps coming off the disabled list after one more minor...

Chen on Chen; Bowie rehab updates

Chen on Chen; Bowie rehab updates
Wei-Yin Chen, speaking through his interpreter, said he wasn't thinking about his chances of winning today's game despite leaving after six innings with a 3-2 lead. "In the game, I don't think that much," he said. "I just want to keep pitching and help the team to win. "I feel like, compared with the last outing, I feel like I improved today. But I still have a lot of room to improve." Asked what he did differently today, Chen replied, "I just keep with my delivery and nothing...

Showalter speaks after 4-3 loss

Showalter speaks after 4-3 loss
The game today was set up pretty much the way manager Buck Showalter would have taken it. Six innings from Wei-Yin Chen - a quality start - and relievers Darren O'Day, Pedro Strop and Jim Johnson ready to take the baton and protect a 3-2 lead. However, the bullpen gave up two runs, Johnson never pitched because it wasn't a save situation, and the failure to come up with tack-on runs conspired to leave the Orioles with a 4-3 loss before 26,714 at Camden Yards. "We knew we were going to...

Bullpen can't hold lead (O's lose 4-3)

Bullpen can't hold lead (O's lose 4-3)
The Orioles' bullpen began the day with the third-lowest ERA in the majors at 2.38, but it couldn't protect a one-run lead today. Darren O'Day gave up the tying run in the seventh on back-to-back doubles by Eric Hosmer and Humberto Quintero with one out. Hosmer's ball didn't leave the infield. It rolled up the third base line and stopped short of the bag. Mitch Maier followed with a single, but Quintero held at second, unsure if the ball would drop in left field. O'Day struck out the...

Jones extends streak as Orioles stretch lead

Jones extends streak as Orioles stretch lead
Adam Jones still doesn't have a contract extension, but he's got a 17-game hitting streak. One accomplishment at a time. Jones tripled into right-center field with one out in the third inning, and Matt Wieters followed with a sacrifice fly to increase the Orioles' lead to 3-0. Wieters is 5-for-51, but he produced his 22nd RBI of the season. J.J. Hardy led off the inning with his 10th home run. Chris Davis hit his eighth, and his second in two games, in the second inning. The Orioles...

Life at the top

Life at the top
The Orioles and Royals have a 4:05 p.m. start today, so the lineup will be coming your way earlier than usual on a Saturday. Perhaps it will be joined by the announcement that Adam Jones has signed a six-year extension. It didn't happen last night, and executive vice president Dan Duquette refused to confirm whether it would get done before the homestand ends. He hates talking about it. We hate the secrecy. It's an interesting relationship. So when's the last time you felt this good about...

Showalter: "You want the promotion to be good baseball"

Showalter: "You want the promotion to be good baseball"
The Orioles set a Camden Yards record tonight with a walk-up crowd of nearly 11,000. It was Fireworks Night, but there also was a buzz in the air about Adam Jones' contract extension and the Orioles continuing to possess the best record in the American League. It was loud until the end, when Dana Eveland recorded the final out to secure an 8-2 victory over the Royals. "They're engaged, and it was a good atmosphere," manager Buck Showalter said. "And we've got to keep doing the things...

Hammel through the fifth (O's lead 8-2)

Hammel through the fifth (O's lead 8-2)
Jason Hammel has run up his pitch count tonight, but he's held down the Royals. Hammel is shutting out Kansas City on five hits over five innings, with one walk and seven strikeouts. But he's thrown 93 pitches, including 61 for strikes. A walk and double put two runners in scoring position with one out in the fourth, but Hammel struck out Alex Gordon and Brayan Pena. Two singles, Hammel's throwing error and a stolen base again put two runners in scoring position with one out in the...

Duquette "encouraged" by contract talks with Jones
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette didn't offer much to reporters regarding Adam Jones' contract extension, but it doesn't appear that an announcement is coming tonight. "There's not a lot I can say about it other than I'm encouraged by the fact that Adam wants to stay in Baltimore, and we'd certainly like him to stay in Baltimore, and hopefully we can work something out in the short term," Duquette said. Asked if a deal could be finalized before the Orioles begin their...

Showalter tackles a variety of pregame topics

Showalter tackles a variety of pregame topics
Manager Buck Showalter explained why the Orioles optioned backup catcher Luis Exposito to Triple-A Norfolk and replaced him with Ronny Paulino. He didn't mention Exposito being 1-for-17 since joining the club. "We're trying to get him catching consistently," Showalter said. "Young guy. I think at the time we sent Ronny out, we had some pitching things. "A lot of these moves aren't just as simple as one-for-one. You've got options, you've got certain guys who can come back with...

Pomeranz back in bullpen?

Pomeranz back in bullpen?
The Orioles are prepared to make a roster move today, since it's been so quiet around here. Seriously, it isn't all about Adam Jones today. Nothing is official, but reliever Stu Pomeranz is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and return to the Orioles bullpen. The Orioles optioned Pomeranz on May 13 when they purchased outfielder Xavier Avery's contract from Norfolk. Pomeranz threw four scoreless innings over two appearances with the Orioles after having his contract purchased...

A call to arms (more on Jones contract update)
So much for having a day off. It's back to the baseball grind tonight with the Royals arriving at Camden Yards for a three-game series. Jason Hammel turned in five quality starts out of six outings before his swollen right knee altered the early course of his season. He's allowed nine runs (eight earned) and 13 hits in his last two starts covering 10 1/3 innings, with five walks and eight strikeouts. He hasn't cleared the sixth in either start. The Orioles require more innings from Hammel....

Romero almost part of combined no-hitter with Norfolk

Romero almost part of combined no-hitter with Norfolk
J.C. Romero made his debut tonight for Triple-A Norfolk, and he nearly became part of minor league baseball history. Miguel Gonzalez threw five hitless innings at Durham, allowing one walk and striking out four. Romero replaced him and retired the side in order in the sixth with two strikeouts in his first appearance since the Cardinals released him on May 14. Eddie Gamboa followed with two hitless innings, leaving the Tides three outs away from a combined no-hitter. But second baseman Ty...

Duquette on Romero and rumors (Roberts update)
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette talked about the reasons why he signed veteran left-handed reliever J.C. Romero to a minor league contract earlier today and assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk. "He's a solid left-handed pitcher who can be a specialist, and he's done that job on a championship team," Duquette said. "He can run his fastball in on left-handed hitters' hands. He's had a lot of success with that." The Cardinals released
