O's game blog: Looking for a series win against Texas

O's game blog: Looking for a series win against Texas
During a year when the Orioles have just 11 series wins, they have only four at home. With a win today, they would take three of four in this series against Texas, producing their fifth home series victory. They are 4-15-5 in home series this year. They won at home two of three May 31-June 2 versus Minnesota and two of three June 4-6 against Cleveland. They swept three from Washington at Camden Yards July 23-25 and took two of three from the Los Angeles Angels from Aug. 24-26. Since that series...

Chris Ellis on arm issues and great chance with O's, plus other notes

Chris Ellis on arm issues and great chance with O's, plus other notes
It is a stretch that includes a one-inning outing from an opener and three-inning outing last night. But Orioles starting pitchers have thrown to a 1.38 ERA over their last six games. And that has allowed the team to go 3-3 in those games, even though they scored just 18 runs in this span. Suddenly, the Orioles are playing some low-scoring, close games. They won one 3-2 last night, holding off the Texas Rangers, who scored one run in the ninth and not five this time. It made a difference. In...

Offense showed up, Gutiérrez with big homer in win (updated)

Offense showed up, Gutiérrez with big homer in win (updated)
The zeros on the night finally ended in the Baltimore seventh. But up until then, Texas right-hander Jordan Lyles was keeping the Orioles off the board. And to that point, four O's pitchers were doing the same. Then the O's struck with the bottom of their order doing the damage as they beat Texas 3-2, and they've taken two of the first three in this four-game series. The Orioles improved to 4-2 versus Texas, 9-15 in September and 50-105 on the year. Lyles, who entered at 9-12 with a 5.36...

O's game blog: Chris Ellis faces Texas at Camden Yards
After splitting the first two games in this series, the Orioles host the Texas Rangers tonight looking to erase the memory of last night's blown lead and 8-5 loss. The Orioles went to the ninth leading Texas 5-3 but allowed five runs as the Rangers evened the four-game series at a win each. O's pitching had allowed just seven runs in the previous four games and then gave up eight in losing Friday night. They had beaten the Rangers 3-0 on Thursday night as Zac Lowther and three relievers...

Brandon Hyde on Tyler Wells to the IL and other notes
The Orioles' constant run of injury issues today sent Rule 5 pick right-hander Tyler Wells to the 10-day injured list. He is dealing with right shoulder inflammation and right-hander Spenser Watkins rejoins the team to take his roster spot. Wells' season ends, but what a rookie year it was. He went 2-3 with a 4.11 ERA and four saves, the last of which came in the series opener against the Rangers on Thursday night. But last night, trying to record another save, Wells faced one batter in the...

Mullins goes 30/30, Elias on MASN and more

Mullins goes 30/30, Elias on MASN and more
What a moment for center fielder Cedric Mullins last night as he became the Orioles' first player to hit 30 or more homers while stealing 30 or more bases in a single season. His three-run shot in the second inning was an important homer too, a three-run shot that fans call a Weaver. It gave the Orioles a 4-2 lead on Texas. They let the game get away, but the moment didn't. Mullins got a curtain call and then his teammates stayed back in the dugout as he took the field and stood alone for...

Late lead gets away and Bowie is swept by Akron

Late lead gets away and Bowie is swept by Akron
That was a very tough way for a season to end for the Double-A Bowie Baysox. They let a late 5-0 lead get away and lost 6-5 at Akron tonight as the RubberDucks scored twice in the ninth to produce a championship via a walk-off win. Akron, down 5-0, scored four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth to stun Bowie and end the year for the Baysox, who were swept three straight in the Double-A Northeast Championship Series. A costly throwing error by second baseman Cadyn Grenier scored the first...

Drew Rom's big year on farm, plus a take on Brandon Hyde

Drew Rom's big year on farm, plus a take on Brandon Hyde
BOWIE - It was a week ago today, the last Friday of the regular season, and Double-A Bowie needed every win it could get to try and complete its playoff push. Young lefty Drew Rom took the mound against Altoona. And he threw five perfect innings with seven strikeouts. And on just 54 pitches. He was, indeed, rolling and dealing. It capped a strong finish to his regular season where Rom threw 14 scoreless innings over his last three starts for Bowie, allowing just five hits. He walked one and...

O's game blog: Final homestand begins
For the Orioles in the 2021 season, it's 152 games down and 10 go. They begin their final homestand tonight, hosting the Texas Rangers to start a four-game series. They will follow that with three at home versus Boston and then three at Toronto to end the year. The Orioles (48-104) blanked the Phillies on the road 2-0 on Monday behind John Means. But they lost 3-2 in 10 innings on Tuesday and 4-3 on Wednesday. So each team scored just seven runs in three games. The Birds have lost five of...

For Jordan Westburg, the struggles provided chance for growth

For Jordan Westburg, the struggles provided chance for growth
BOWIE - For Double-A Bowie infielder Jordan Westburg, seeing his career advance three levels on the farm this year - from low-Single-A Delmarva through high Single-A Aberdeen and now on to Bowie - was a nice achievement. But to hear him tell it, learning to deal with the struggles he experienced along the way in moving up levels was pretty important as well. Westburg, the Orioles' No. 6 prospect, has had a very strong year. He's hit .285/.389/.479/.868 with 27 doubles, five triples, 15...

Bowie's Grayson Rodriguez takes loss as Akron takes Game 2

Bowie's Grayson Rodriguez takes loss as Akron takes Game 2
BOWIE - It was not the night the Bowie Baysox were hoping for. The weather made it challenging and so did Akron RubberDucks batters. They scored six runs in just 2 2/3 innings off Bowie ace Grayson Rodriguez - that was a season high for him in runs allowed - as Akron beat Bowie 8-5 to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five Double-A Northeast Championship Series. The Baysox have scored just six runs on six hits in the first two games. The late afternoon downpour finally subsided, but the first...

A look ahead at Game 2 tonight in Bowie
BOWIE - It is not a must-win like their game Sunday, when the season would have been over with a loss, but it's a pretty vital game for the Bowie Baysox tonight. They host Akron in Game 2 of the Double-A Northeast Championship Series. After losing here 5-1 last night, they would be in an 0-2 series hole with a loss tonight, and heading to Akron for the rest of the series. Game 3 is set for Friday night at 6:05 p.m. The Baysox, who tied with Akron for the most runs scored in the league in the...

Seeing Grayson Rodriguez's huge year through eyes of his teammates

Seeing Grayson Rodriguez's huge year through eyes of his teammates
BOWIE - As he gets set to make a playoff start tonight for the Double-A Bowie Baysox, it is obvious that right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has had a special season. He is baseball's No. 1-ranked pitching prospect for a reason, and the stats bear that out. But his teammates in Bowie will remind you he has also been a very solid teammate, and his coaches will remind you of that too. The organization also made sure he made gains this year in things like how he scouts his opponents. During a long...

Jordan Westburg homers, but Bowie loses Game 1
BOWIE - The Bowie Baysox got an early lead tonight in Game 1 of the Double-A Northeast Championship Series. But the lead didn't hold up as the Baysox bats were silenced most of the night. Akron right-hander Peyton Battenfield allowed just one hit over seven innings as the RubberDucks beat Bowie 5-1 in the opener of the best-of-five series. Bowie will try to get even at home tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m. Battenfield was acquired by Cleveland on July 30. The Indians traded outfielder Jordan Luplow...
