A look at the longest O's at-bat of the year, plus farm notes
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - On Monday for the Orioles at Tropicana Field, there was a comeback by Baltimore from a 4-0 deficit, there was a starter going seven innings, there was some gas thrown late in the game by bullpen pitchers. But in the end there was an extra-innings loss as the Orioles fell 5-4 in 10 to Tampa Bay. There was also a clutch 13-pitch at-bat in the top of the sixth that was the longest this year by any Oriole. In the sixth, with the O's down a run and Mark Trumbo at second base,...

Remembering a time when Anthony Santander tried to make it as a pitcher

Remembering a time when Anthony Santander tried to make it as a pitcher
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Watching the Orioles' Anthony Santander hit rockets around various ballparks in the second half of this season, it might be hard to imagine a day he tried to make it as a pitcher. Or a day when he was not a switch-hitter. But on a pregame interview yesterday on the Orioles Radio Network, Santander told me that as a teenager in Venezuela, he was trying to get a pro contract as a pitcher. And he didn't come to switch-hitting until a year before he entered pro ball. "I...

More on John Means' emotional win Friday, plus other notes

After Friday's game, it was learned that Means had been away from the team to return home as his father, Alan, had been diagnosed with cancer. Home for...

The trio combined to pitch 16 no-hit innings, allowing one unearned run with two walks to 24 strikeouts. They seem to be getting better as this season goes on. Behind...
