Mancini on Yaz, Blaine Knight on Grayson Rodriguez
When the Orioles host the San Francisco Giants this weekend, a few members of the Orioles 2013 draft class, to include Austin Wynns and Trey Mancini, plan to get together with the 14th-round pick that year. That is outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. A non-roster invitee to O's spring training this year, Yaz went 3-for-18 (.167) in spring games, was optioned to minors camp at Twin Lakes park and on March 23 was traded by the Orioles to the Giants for pitcher Tyler Herb, who is 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA for...

One that got away: O's lose lead in the eighth and tie in ninth in loss

Orioles
One that got away: O's lose lead in the eighth and tie in ninth in loss
For the Orioles, it was another night of strong pitching by left-hander John Means. He was on his way to his sixth win with a strong six-inning outing and a one-run lead. But Mychal Givens, tasked with pitching a second inning, gave up a game-tying home run. Branden Kline, tasked with holding the tie, gave up a two-run homer in the ninth and Detroit stormed back to win. Scoring three times the last two innings, Detroit beat the Orioles 4-2 tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles were going for...

O's game blog: O's host Tigers in series finale, plus minors notes
Looking for a series win for the first time in more than a month, the Orioles (17-38) host the Detroit Tigers (20-32) tonight in the rubber match of this series. The Orioles won 5-3 Monday and lost 3-0 last night, their ninth loss in the last 11 games and 16th in the past 20. Before this series, the Orioles had a seven-game stretch where they scored 43 runs on 74 hits with 11 homers and batted .356 with runners in scoring position. In these two games, they've scored five runs on 13 hits while...

Just like on the farm: Austin Wynns catches John Means tonight

Orioles
Just like on the farm: Austin Wynns catches John Means tonight
When Austin Wynns catches lefty John Means tonight for the Orioles in the Detroit series finale, it will be the first time he's caught Means in the bigs this year. But far from their first time ever. Wynns caught Means' big league debut late last year at Boston and this pairing took place often on the farm. Wynns wasn't even sure how many times he has caught Means over the years - too many to even hazard a guess - but he knows him very well and it's been a lot. This will be a comfortable...

Orioles
Knight and Sedlock check out the Yard, plus more from Stewart
The Orioles welcomed two young pitchers from the Single-A Frederick Keys last night as right-handers Blaine Knight and Cody Sedlock came to Camden Yards on an off-night for their team. Before the game, they met some Orioles players, saw the sights at Camden Yards and did a round of interviews. Knight, drafted in round three last year out of the University of Arkansas, made five starts at Single-A Delmarva to begin this season, pitched to an ERA of 0.68 and was promoted to Single-A Frederick. In...

Matthew Boyd outduels Dylan Bundy as Tigers even series

Orioles
Matthew Boyd outduels Dylan Bundy as Tigers even series
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy threw a strong game, recorded a quality start and picked up his 500th career strikeout tonight. And DJ Stewart had three hits in his season debut. But Detroit lefty Matthew Boyd outdueled Bundy and overcame Stewart's strong night. Boyd threw scoreless ball over six innings plus two batters as the Tigers beat the Orioles 3-0 to even this three-game set a win each. The rubber match is Wednesday night. Detroit, which had lost three in a row and 12 of its past 13,...

Orioles
O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces Tigers at Oriole Park
The Orioles last had a two-game winning streak on May 6 when they wrapped up wins versus Tampa Bay and Boston around a rainout. They'll try for two in a row tonight when they host Detroit at Camden Yards. Renato Núñez hit a two-run homer, his 13th, and Jonathan Villar's 456-foot solo shot was No. 7 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers at Oriole Park. Núñez has hit five homers his last six games and six in his last eight. Nunez has recorded an RBI in a career-high six straight...

Orioles
DJ Stewart talks about getting his call to the Orioles
DJ Stewart got into 17 games in the major leagues last September, batting .250 (10-for-40) with three doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs after joining the Orioles' expanded roster and making his major league debut on Sept. 12. It was exciting to be called to the majors. But when Stewart found out he was coming to join the Orioles today from Triple-A Norfolk, it was a different feeling - and, he said, an even better excitement level for him. And he's starting tonight in right field, batting...

Remembering draft day: The O's took Dylan Bundy No. 4 in 2011

Orioles
Remembering draft day: The O's took Dylan Bundy No. 4 in 2011
The Orioles are now days away from making the first pick in the first round of the First-Year Player Draft. That selection will be made on Monday night. The Orioles hold the No. 1 overall pick for just the second time since the draft began in 1965. In 1989 they chose LSU right-hander Ben McDonald 1/1. In the Orioles clubhouse this week the player that can most relate to being taken with the first pick is pitcher Dylan Bundy, who came close to that. He was the No. 4 overall pick out of Owassa...

Straily solid in relief in win, O's make roster moves (updated)
When the first two hitters he faced today combined to produce a run, it looked like right-hander Dan Straily might have another rough outing. But he turned it around and gave the Orioles a solid long-relief job as the Orioles beat the Tigers 5-3 at Oriole Park. As the Orioles won for just the third time in 14 games, Straily allowed just one run over four innings. He began the game with an ERA of 9.09 overall and 12.09 at home and had recently been moved from the starting rotation. In fact,...

Hyde on Givens' struggles, Trumbo's return (game update)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said after his recent struggles that reliever Mychal Givens - he was on the mound for two walk-off losses at Colorado - may pitch in lower-leverage situations in the short term moving forward. Over his last four games Givens has allowed eight runs on seven hits and six walks in three innings. He's suffered two blown saves and three losses in this span. "I think it's just command," Hyde said this morning. "I look at his numbers at this point last year and he's...

O's game blog: The homestand begins against Detroit
After losing two of three at Colorado in a quick road trip two times zone away, the Orioles return home this afternoon to host the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers (19-31) will be at Camden Yards for three games and, after Thursday's off day, the San Francisco Giants play three in Baltimore starting Friday night to complete a six-game homestand. The Orioles (16-37) are 6-19 at home and have lost eight of the last nine games at Camden Yards. They were swept four straight at home by the New York...

Orioles
O's head home reeling, Lowther duels Mize, Yaz in the show
They rallied from 5-1 and 6-4 deficits to take the lead in the top of the eighth. But they lost again in a walk-off defeat in the last of the ninth. The Orioles' latest gut-punch loss was their second walk-off loss in the weekend series wrapped around a win at Colorado. At least they got the win, but late Sunday afternoon it sure felt like they should have had two at Coors Field. Mychal Givens is still struggling and probably could use at least two days off at this point. Maybe more. The O's...

O's game blog: Looking for a series win in Colorado
The Orioles beat Colorado last night 9-6 and produced a season-high 17 hits. That sets them up with a chance to win the series today at Coors Field in the series finale. The club's last series win was at home versus the Chicago White Sox April 22-24. Since then they have lost seven series and tied one. The Orioles' Renato Núñez has homered in four straight games, the longest streak by an Oriole since Jonathan Schoop homered in five straight from July 22-27, 2018. It is tied for the...

Orioles
Talking homers allowed with a catcher, plus farm notes
Whenever an Orioles pitcher gives up a homer - and they've allowed the most in the majors this year - there is always a catcher on the other end waiting for a pitch that never gets to his mitt. The catcher can be just as frustrated as anyone that the pitch went out and Pedro Severino has been there, done that this year for the Orioles. "We all feel really bad because we don't want to miss (the location of) pitches," he told me recently. "This is the big leagues man, we are making mistakes...

O's game blog: Cashner has four quality starts his last five games
With a record of 15-36 and without a win in eight days, the Orioles take the field tonight at Coors Field against Colorado. They are out to snap a seven-game losing streak following Friday's 8-6 walk-off loss. O's pitchers allowed four homers Friday - two each to Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story - and they lead the majors with 111 through 51 games. Seattle ranks second in the majors with 92 allowed. Baltimore has a home ERA of 6.43, yielding 2.56 homers per game at Oriole Park. Their road ERA...

Delmarva manager on Rodriguez, Hall and more (plus O's notes)
It has been a little over two weeks since my trek to Salisbury, Md. and Perdue Stadium to see up close how the Orioles' Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds affiliate had gotten off to a remarkable 24-4 start. The Shorebirds were playing at a .857 winning percentage through 28 games and they were obviously going to cool off some. But it hasn't been much. After last night's 12-2 home win over Lakewood, the Shorebirds are 36-10 (.783). That is still easily the best-record in all of minor league full...

O's game blog: Orioles make first trip to Colorado in 15 years
Trying to snap a season-long six-game losing streak, the Orioles are in Colorado for a three-game weekend series. The Orioles were swept at home in a four-game series by the New York Yankees that ended yesterday. After this quick one-series road trip, they'll be back at home Monday afternoon. This series marks just the second trip for the Orioles to Coors Field in Colorado. The O's only other visit to the park came in June 2004. The Orioles lost the first two games of that series, then won...

As the losses mount, how is Birdland dealing with them?
So the Orioles had chances to win a couple of games in the series with the New York Yankees, but they went 0-4. They've now lost six in a row and take a 15-35 record into their game in Colorado tonight. As the losses mount, some fans in Birdland are venting, but to me, it appears a large segment of Birdland expected exactly this. They knew rebuilding would be painful in the won-loss column and they actually get it. They want to see some positives and they have and they are not yet getting too...

O's tie it in eighth, but lose in ninth to Yankees for four-game sweep
Down to their final six outs to avoid a four-game sweep, the Orioles bat came to life today. They tied the game. But that just led to another frustrating loss when right-hander Mychal Givens walked in the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. The New York Yankees won 6-5 to complete a four-game sweep and improve to 7-0 this year at Camden Yards and to 10-2 versus the Orioles with nine straight wins. They've won 12 in a row in Baltimore dating to last year. Givens came on in the ninth after the...
