Homers by Jones and Davis in the eighth carry the Orioles to victory

Homers by Jones and Davis in the eighth carry the Orioles to victory
Adam Jones picked a good time for his sixth homer of the season and Chris Davis did as well for his third of the year. Jones' drive to left leading off the last of the eighth just made it into the left field seats to break a 2-2 tie and propel the Orioles to a 5-2 win over Toronto tonight and a three-game sweep in front of 13,725 at Camden Yards. Two batters after Jones' homer, Davis hit a two-run shot to right for a three-run lead. It was his second homer in two nights and third of the...

O's face Blue Jays youngster tonight in series finale

O's face Blue Jays youngster tonight in series finale
Some of you think the Orioles rush some pitchers to the major leagues. Drew Hutchison, tonight's Toronto starter against the Orioles, is just 21 years old and with just six career starts as high as Double-A on his resume before April 21. He made his major league debut then against Kansas City and got the win despite allowing five runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings. He began this year at Double-A New Hampshire, going 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA. Hutchison was not a high draft pick and was taken...

Reimold hopes return to lineup becomes permanent this time
Nolan Reimold returns to the lineup tonight at Camden Yards for the first time since Friday and he said this time he's hopeful he is back for good after missing the past four games due to neck spasms. "I feel confident," Reimold, who is batting .370 with five homers, 10 RBIs and an OPS of 1.166, said. "I wouldn't play if I thought it was going to act up and get worse again. I think I am to the point where I can go out and play and it will be OK. So that is what I'm planning on it doing....

He's been shut down since pitching in a Triple-A game on April 19 and Orioles pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada said today that he will head to California on Sunday for a Monday appointment with Dr. Lewis Yocum about his ailing left elbow. He said that Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery is a possibility. Wada will be getting a second opinion from Dr. Yocum after seeing the Orioles orthopedist, Dr. John Wilckens.

Orioles are moving Stu Pomeranz to Triple-A

Orioles are moving Stu Pomeranz to Triple-A
The Orioles are expected to move 27-year-old right-hander Stu Pomeranz to Triple-A Norfolk in time for the Tides' next game Friday. Norfolk is currently one player under the 25-man limit after Jason Berken joined the Orioles. Pomeranz, who can throw his fastball into the mid-90s, was off to a great start with Double-A Bowie. Over his first 13 1/3 innings, he allowed seven hits, two runs (none earned) with a 20-to-1 strikeout-to-walks ratio. He has pitched three innings in each of his last...

The Orioles are playing good ball as brutal stretch approaches

The Orioles are playing good ball as brutal stretch approaches
So the Orioles are off to an 11-7 start and they have won six of their last nine games. They have been impressive in pulling out some close ones, going 8-2 in games decided by two runs or less. If the Orioles can go 2-2 in the final four games of this homestand they will enter play Monday with a record of 13-9. That would give them a cushion of being four games over .500 going into a brutally tough stretch. Starting Monday, they play three games in New York, followed by three at Boston, then...

Can O's get offense untracked against Drabek?

For now Berken is workin' back at Camden Yards
With Robert Andino on the paternity leave list, the Orioles have added Jason Berken from Triple-A Norfolk and the right-hander that pitched in 105 games over the last three seasons was today back in the Orioles clubhouse. "I'm excited," Berken said. "I was fortunate to pitch pretty well in Triple-A and I'm excited about doing the same here. It's just great to see all the guys, that is the biggest thing. You miss your teammates and getting a chance to see these guys again is...

Nolan Reimold said he feels he can avoid the disabled list
He is not in tonight's starting lineup, but Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold is hopeful that he will soon be in there. For now, he feels like his neck spasms are making progress to that end and that he will avoid going on the disabled list. "I assume I can and am going to (avoid the DL). I think I'm almost ready," Reimold said. "I think we are being cautious. It was there when I played in Anaheim (on Friday) and then it just tightened up real bad after the game and the next morning.

The 2012 Delmarva Shorebirds: Young and fun to watch

The 2012 Delmarva Shorebirds: Young and fun to watch
I kind of came to this conclusion long before yesterday, but being at Perdue Stadium on Tuesday afternoon and night reinforced the thought: The Delmarva Shorebirds are going to be an exciting young team to watch this year and that team may have a heckuva season in 2012. Led by a young pitching staff filled with good arms, some of the organization's top picks from the 2011 draft and a speedy outfield, I think there is a decent chance that Delmarva, which is 10-8 now, could really take off over...

Dylan Bundy talks about tonight's strong outing for Delmarva
SALISBURY, Md. - After another outing where he was dominant and once again didn't allow a single baserunner, Dylan Bundy said he is not looking down the road for a possible promotion within the Orioles farm system. He said for now, the Orioles have not said if or when he will move to a higher level. "Nope. I really don't even want to get into that," Bundy said. "It's whatever they decide and I'm happy with it. I'm happy here, getting all my innings in, getting used to pro ball and...

Another dominant outing for Dylan Bundy (updated)

Another dominant outing for Dylan Bundy (updated)
SALISBURY, Md - Dylan Bundy was clearly up for the challenge tonight in his latest outing for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds. Matched up with Matt Barnes, Boston's first-round pick (No. 19 overall) last year, Bundy retired all 12 Greenville batters he faced with six strikeouts over four perfect innings. The game was scoreless heading to the top of the fifth as Barnes fanned nine Shorebirds over four shutout frames. Bundy seemed to get better as the game wore on as he needed 15 pitches in...

Ryan Minor on Dylan Bundy: "He's going to be a special one"
SALISBURY, Md. - It is hard to find someone that has seen Dylan Bundy pitch this year that is not raving about his talent and work ethic. The Orioles' 2011 first-round draft pick has pitched nine hitless and shutout innings in three outings so far for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds as he prepares tonight to face Greenville at 7:05 at Perdue Stadium in his fourth professional start.

Marquee matchup: Dylan Bundy vs. Matt Barnes tonight at Delmarva
They have been two of the best pitchers in the Single-A South Atlantic League this year, and tonight they face each other at Salisbury's Perdue Stadium when the Delmarva Shorebirds host the Greenville Drive. It's Dylan Bundy making his fourth start for the Shorebirds and right-hander Matt Barnes for Greenville, a Red Sox affiliate.

Nolan Reimold starts fast, now can he stay on the field?

Nolan Reimold starts fast, now can he stay on the field?
So far, during this 2012 season, it seems that leg cramps and neck spasms can slow Nolan Reimold's bat better than American League pitchers can. Flashing some of the potential that Orioles fans have seen before, Reimold is off to a fast start - when he can get on the field. In 11 games and 46 at-bats, he is batting .370 with four doubles, five homers, nine runs scored and a stolen base. He has a slugging percentage of .783 and an OPS of 1.166. If he had enough at-bats to quality for the...

Chen was good while Reynolds still is struggling

Chen was good while Reynolds still is struggling
In his first three starts as an Oriole, pitcher Wei-Yin Chen is 1-0 with an ERA of 2.60. He has allowed two earned runs or less in each outing and the Orioles have won two of his three starts. Chen recorded his first career quality start Sunday in Anaheim, pitching a season-high 6 1/3 innings. He has a 15-to-6, strikeout-to-walk ratio in 17 1/3 innings. There are certainly some things to like about Chen. They include the fact he is left-handed, is just 26 years old, has some solid experience...

Nick Markakis ends RBI drought as Orioles beat Angels

Nick Markakis ends RBI drought as Orioles beat Angels
Nick Markakis began today in a 6-for-33 stretch, without an RBI over his last eight games and with just one over his past 13 contests. But the Orioles right fielder delivered huge hits this afternoon in the eighth and 10th innings as the Orioles beat the Angels 3-2 in 10 innings. The win allowed the Orioles to finish their trip through Toronto, Chicago and Anaheim with a 6-4 record.
