Means back on the mound, plus a take on the ninth inning

Means back on the mound, plus a take on the ninth inning
To say the least, the Orioles' search for starting pitching is ongoing. Their rotation ERA of 6.09 is the worst in the majors and their three starting pitchers covered just 11 2/3 innings in the weekend series in Anaheim, allowing 12 runs. The O's know they have a good one - really, this year he's been a great one - in John Means. The lefty is their ace and he can't get back here soon enough. Means took a big step toward a return to the rotation yesterday, throwing a sharp two-inning rehab...

Mullins' heroics overcome as Angels win in ninth (updated)

Mullins' heroics overcome as Angels win in ninth (updated)
The Los Angeles Angels ruined a great script. On the day he found out he was named an All-Star, Cedric Mullins again played very much like one. But even his heroics were not enough to get the Orioles a win. Right-hander Cole Sulser was trying to finish off a strong day for the bullpen, but it didn't happen. Mullins had entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the sixth and singled to tie the game. Then he topped that. He homered off Angels closer Raisel Iglesias in the top of the ninth to break a...

The road back: John Means has solid rehab start for Aberdeen

The road back: John Means has solid rehab start for Aberdeen
ABERDEEN - The Orioles would desperately love to get their ace back on the mound. And lefty John Means today took a big step toward heading back to the Orioles rotation. And he looked good doing it. Throwing all of his pitches, including a fastball that touched 94 mph, Means pitched two innings this afternoon for the high Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds against the Brooklyn Cyclones at Ripken Stadium. It is the first of what Means said is expected to be three rehab starts at three levels before he...

O's game blog: The road trip finale in Anaheim

O's game blog: The road trip finale in Anaheim
The Orioles wrap up a three-city, 10-game road trip today in Anaheim and need a win or they will be swept three in a row by the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels beat the Orioles 8-7 on Friday night in a walk-off win and 4-1 last night behind right-hander Alex Cobb's strong start. The Orioles will wind up losing the first and third series on the road trip and sweeping Houston three straight in the middle leg. So, yes, strange trip. A loss today and they would go 1-6 playing Toronto and the Angels...

O's bats slowed as Angels win 4-1 (updated)

O's bats slowed as Angels win 4-1 (updated)
Former Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb got his season off to a good start this year with the Los Angeles Angels. He had an ERA of 3.78 through May. But the year took a downturn for him in June, when he pitched to an ERA of 7.32 over 19 2/3 innings. However, Cobb got back on track tonight and slowed down the O's bats that had produced seven runs last night, 34 runs the last four games and 46 runs over the last seven. Cobb and the Angels beat the Orioles 4-1 and have taken the first two games of...

Renewing old friendships: Dylan Bundy on his time with O's

Renewing old friendships: Dylan Bundy on his time with O's
After the Orioles traded him to the Los Angeles Angels for four minor league pitchers on Dec. 4, 2019, Dylan Bundy got a fresh start with a new club. The Orioles were the only team he had known. They drafted him No. 4 overall in 2011 and brought him to the big leagues. After pledging to throw his slider more, Bundy had a strong 2020 season, going 6-3 with a 3.29 ERA for the Angels. He finished ninth in the American League Cy Young voting. But the results have not been there this year, with the...

Updates on John Means and more, plus checking in with Dylan Bundy
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde provided an update today on three pitchers that are currently on the 10-day injured list in starters John Means and Bruce Zimmermann and bullpen right-hander César Valdez. Hyde confirmed what was reported on the high Single-A Aberdeen Twitter feed earlier today.

O's game blog: López against Cobb in Anaheim
Their offense put up a big number, scoring seven runs, but the Orioles could not run their win streak to four in a row last night. It would have been a season high. They lost 8-7 to the Los Angeles Angels in walk-off fashion in the last of the ninth. Shohei Ohtani, who hit two homers earlier in the game, walked, stole second base and scored the winning run when Jared Walsh singled to right to win the game. Ohtani hit his major league-leading 29th and 30th home runs. He has been on a home run...

Shohei Ohtani homers twice and Angels get a walk-off win (updated)
The Orioles offense got going again tonight, early in the game in Anaheim. But would they be able to overcome a special player having a special night in the series opener? Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels began tonight leading the majors with 28 homers and had homered in nine of his last 14 games. Then he hit two more tonight as the Angels overcame an early 6-2 deficit to move ahead 7-6 in the fourth. The Orioles would tie the score at 7, but the Angels came up with a walk-off win in the...

A look at O's draft preparations with Brad Ciolek
After picking first in the draft in 2019 and second overall last year, the Orioles have the No. 5 pick in round one this year. The three-day, 20-round draft begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 11, when picks No. 1 through No. 37 will be selected. During a Zoom interview with reporters Friday, O's supervisor of domestic scouting operations Brad Ciolek provided an update on the club's draft prep for this year. "It's a little bit of a different animal (picking fifth)," said Ciolek. "We have to,...

Hyde on Harvey and more, Mountcastle on rookie honor

Hyde on Harvey and more, Mountcastle on rookie honor
The latest injury to Orioles right-hander Hunter Harvey may keep him out about a month, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Harvey went on the 10-day injured list today with a strained lat, and lefty Zac Lowther was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Harvey felt something on what was to be his last warmup pitch in the bullpen Wednesday night at Houston. He was about to be summoned into the game, but instead is headed back to the injured list. "He went and saw the doctors yesterday," Hyde said...

O's game blog: Keegan Akin pitches series opener
After going 1-3 at Toronto and 3-0 at Houston, the Orioles have arrived in Anaheim, the final stop of their three-city road trip. And the club that lost 20 in a row on the road recently has a winning road mark this trip heading into the weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles outscored Houston 27-12 in sweeping the series at Minute Maid Park. They had 39 hits in the three-game series, batting .333 with six doubles and seven homers, and went 12-for-36 with runners in scoring...

Mullins chasing 200 hits, plus other O's notes

Mullins chasing 200 hits, plus other O's notes
In the middle of a remarkable year we can think back to the first few games of the season and recall that center fielder Cedric Mullins was raking pretty much from the start. He went 9-for-13 in that opening series at Boston, which included a 5-for-5 game in the series finale. By the end of April he was batting .337. But there were times in May that it seemed like Mullins' bat was crashing back to earth. He was batting .291 in late May. Then came June and so much for his bat cooling off. He...

Jordan Westburg settles in at Aberdeen (series sweep notes)

Jordan Westburg settles in at Aberdeen (series sweep notes)
ABERDEEN - Orioles infield prospect Jordan Westburg said he has made a "seamless" transition to professional baseball, but it happened under anything but normal circumstances. After the club selected him No. 30 overall out of Mississippi State in the draft last June, there were no minor league games to play and no place to report to and begin his career. Westburg did eventually get to meet some of his new coaches and teammates during fall instructional league in Sarasota, Fla. This came after...

O's game blog: Looking for a sweep in Houston
An Orioles offense that has scored 22 runs the past two nights in Houston should get a test tonight from an Astros rookie right-hander who will try to pitch his team to a sweep-avoiding win tonight. The Orioles beat Houston 9-7 on Monday night and 13-3 last night. Last week in Baltimore they got swept three in a row by Houston and scored just three runs on 14 hits in that series, hitting one homer while going 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. In the first two games this series,...

An emotional day for Spenser Watkins ends with him in the majors
If we ever forget how special it can be for a player to reach the big leagues, we can go back and check out today's interview with one of the newest Orioles: pitcher Spenser Watkins. Signed by the club as minor league free agent Feb. 3, the 28-year-old right-hander earlier today got the call he has always waited for. He was added to the Orioles active roster from the taxi squad in Houston. After eight seasons - most spent in the Detroit organization - and more than 600 minor league innings, he...

Feeling a draft: Jim Callis on the O's at No. 5

Feeling a draft: Jim Callis on the O's at No. 5
On Sunday, July 11, the First-Year Player Draft for 2021 will begin at 7 p.m. There is no consensus No. 1 pick this year, as in some previous years, but there is surely plenty of speculation about what the Orioles will do. After executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias selected Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman No. 1 overall in 2019 and Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad No. 2 overall last year, he will make the No. 5 pick in round one this time. In a Zoom interview taped...

Travis Lakins Sr. gets a spot start for the Orioles tonight as they play at Houston in the second of a three-game series. The Orioles scored five runs in the ninth last night - two more than they scored last week in three games against Houston - and they won 9-7. It was their most runs and hits (15) in one game since June 8 in a 10-3 win over the New York Mets.

Trey Mancini on his reason to take part in Home Run Derby
For the Trey Mancini, it was an easy decision to accept an invitation to take part in the Home Run Derby competition in Denver on July 12 as part of the All-Star game festivities. Mancini, during a Zoom interview today, talked about winning a home run derby once in college. But this occasion gives him another chance to inspire anyone dealing with cancer and trying to beat it. Mancini missed the entire 2020 season after his diagnosis and surgery for Stage 3 colon cancer. He wants to take...

Not drafted last year, this player is having a great start on O's farm
ABERDEEN - For a player who was not even drafted last year, first baseman JD Mundy is having some first season of professional baseball. After a college career that took him to Virginia Tech for two years and then to Radford for two more, the Roanoke, Va., native leads the Orioles organization on the farm in homers, slugging and OPS. The player taken 1/1 in the 2019 draft, Double-A Bowie catcher Adley Rutschman, is second to Mundy in homers and OPS this season. So, yeah, pretty good for the...
