O's successful road show now brings the act to Camden Yards

O's successful road show now brings the act to Camden Yards
TORONTO - The Orioles did the unexpected. A team predicted for another 100-loss season began the year winning four of six and taking series at New York and Toronto. They've played with energy and enthusiasm, displayed solid defense, gotten some clutch outs from their pitchers and watched Trey Mancini get off to a torrid start at the plate. For a rookie manager in Brandon Hyde, what started in spring training has for now carried into the season. A team that was expected to be outmatched just...

O's end promising first road trip on the short end

O's end promising first road trip on the short end
TORONTO - As the season's first road trip came to an end with a loss today, the Orioles looked back on the first six games and saw plenty of positive and encouraging signs. Now they're excited to bring their team home to play in front of their home fans for the first time on Thursday. Blanked today on three hits heading to the ninth, they battled back on Trey Mancini's three-run homer to center. But they lost 5-3 to Toronto in front of 11,436 at Rogers Centre. Still, they're heading to...

O's fall 5-3 in series finale at Toronto

O's fall 5-3 in series finale at Toronto
TORONTO - The Orioles were able to win with just two runs last night, but they couldn't get much going for most of the game today, as they lost the series and road trip finale to the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto right-hander Matt Shoemaker threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just two hits, as the Blue Jays won 5-3 to salvage the finale of this series. The Orioles head to Baltimore for Thursday's home opener with a 4-2 record. Shoemaker, who threw seven scoreless frames in his first start...

Brandon Hyde on Chris Davis, roster move and more (O's fall 5-3)

Brandon Hyde on Chris Davis, roster move and more (O's fall 5-3)
TORONTO - He is 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts and three walks, but Orioles first basemen Chris Davis is back in the starting lineup today, batting seventh. He did make several solid plays in the field in last night's 2-1 win. "I think he's still searching a little bit," manager Brandon Hyde said before today's series finale at Toronto. "He's taken a couple of good swings and just missed a ball here and there. I love the fact he's playing great defense for us. When you come out of gates...

O's game blog: Going for a sweep at Rogers Centre

Another day, another win: O's get the victory again in Toronto

Another day, another win: O's get the victory again in Toronto
TORONTO - Anyone getting tired of watching the Orioles win yet? Yep, just kidding. But the 2019 Orioles have won their last four by six combined runs. Every game has gone down to the last pitch. Three of the games were started by James Paxton, J.A. Happ and Marcus Stroman. Four different players have saves. But other than that ... Hey, for a change it's fun for the fans of Birdland who no doubt are getting a good feeling about this team. The good feeling in the clubhouse was something you...

Andrew Cashner goes six strong as O's top Blue Jays (quotes added)

Andrew Cashner goes six strong as O's top Blue Jays (quotes added)
TORONTO - He didn't take a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but right-hander Andrew Cashner followed up nicely on David Hess' strong outing last night. Cashner pitched the Orioles to a 2-1 win at Rogers Centre and they are 4-1 with a four-game win streak, matching their longest of last season. After going 0-10 in Toronto last season, they can sweep this three-game series tomorrow afternoon. Cashner went six innings, allowing four singles, two of them infield hits. He allowed his first hit...

How Hess, Sucre worked well together (game update)

How Hess, Sucre worked well together (game update)
TORONTO - Last night's no-hitter over 6 1/3 innings by Orioles right-hander David Hess had a lot to do with the pitcher, of course, but also the catcher. Jesús Sucre said this afternoon that Hess let him know before the game he would have full confidence in every pitch Sucre called. Hess would say, "I'm riding with you," to his catcher pregame and then Sucre had a plan that Hess executed very well. All of this happened for a pitcher and catcher that haven't worked together very long....

Three pitchers with saves already in Orioles' first four games

Three pitchers with saves already in Orioles' first four games
TORONTO - The Orioles bullpen has sure been interesting to watch over the season's first four games. They were called on often in New York, stumbled late in the game last night and three pitchers already have recorded saves - but Mychal Givens is not among them. Manager Brandon Hyde has been ready and willing to use various pitchers in various roles during a 3-1 start. Mike Wright recorded his first career save Saturday and Richard Bleier did the same last night. Lefty Paul Fry, who got the...

O's game blog: Looking for a 4-1 start in Toronto
TORONTO - With three wins in their first four games and with a record topped by just two American League teams thus far, the Orioles play here tonight in the second game of a three-game series. David Hess threw 6 1/3 no-hit innings Monday night, Jonathan Villar hit a two-run homer, and Trey Mancini homered and drove in two in a 6-5 win. The Orioles, who went 0-10 and were outscored 63-28 last season at Rogers Centre, are 1-0 in Toronto in 2019. After hitting no homers the first two games,...

The decision to pull Hess, Mancini's fast start, Means' changeup

The decision to pull Hess, Mancini's fast start, Means' changeup
TORONTO - Hey everybody, the Orioles won a game at Rogers Centre. That also got lost in the shuffle last night after right-hander David Hess was pulled after 6 1/3 innings while throwing a no-hitter. But after going 0-10 at Toronto last year and being outscored 63-28 in the building, the Orioles won last night 6-5. Hess threw 48 four-seam fastballs that averaged 93.8 mph and topped at 95.8. He added 20 sliders among his 82 pitches in allowing just one runner on a walk while fanning a...

Brandon Hyde and David Hess on his gem versus Toronto

Brandon Hyde and David Hess on his gem versus Toronto
TORONTO - Trey Mancini produced again at the plate, Richard Bleier struggled again on the mound and the Orioles won again. Those were almost afterthoughts tonight as the Orioles hung on in the ninth to beat Toronto 6-5 at Rogers Centre. It was a night when a rookie manager felt he couldn't let a pitcher throwing a no-hitter finish the job or even the seventh inning. When right-hander David Hess got the first out of the Toronto seventh - a liner to short - it was his 82nd and last pitch of the...

David Hess throws 6 1/3 no-hit innings in win at Toronto

David Hess throws 6 1/3 no-hit innings in win at Toronto
TORONTO - Last year the Orioles did not record a single win at Rogers Centre in Toronto. Tonight, right-hander David Hess made sure that would not happen this season as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 6-5. Showing the best fastball velocity we've seen in his brief major league career, Hess was rolling from the start. He retired the first nine batters on 28 pitches, throwing nine in the first, seven in the second and 12 in the third. He took a no-hitter into the seventh with a 6-0 lead at 74...

Karns starts Wednesday, Smith back in Toronto (O's win 6-5)
TORONTO - It worked once so the Orioles will try it again. Whether you want to call him an opener or say the Orioles are going with a bullpen game, right-hander Nate Karns will start the third game of the series in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. "We're going to go with Karns again and (Alex) Cobb will have the home opener (on Thursday)," manager Brandon Hyde said today before the Orioles series opener at Rogers Centre. David Hess will start tonight and Andrew Cashner starts on Tuesday...

O's game blog: David Hess pitches Toronto series opener
TORONTO - The Orioles will try to do something tonight at Rogers Centre that they could not do at all last year - win. They went 0-10 and were outscored 63-28 last season in Toronto. The Orioles had series where they went 0-4, 0-3 and 0-3 last year at Rogers Centre. They were out-homered in the 10 games, 35-20. Toronto batters hit .277/.339/.500 with an .839 OPS. Randal Grichuk hit .355 with five homers and 11 RBIs versus the Orioles, while Kevin Pillar hit .385 with four homers and 10 RBIs and...

After surprise series win, O's move on to Toronto for three

After surprise series win, O's move on to Toronto for three
It sure took a while on Sunday, and it wasn't supposed to go this way, but the Orioles beat the Yankees 7-5 and took two of three in the weekend series. In the three games, the Orioles scored 14 runs and the Yankees scored 15 runs. Down one in run differential, but more importantly up one in the standings and ahead of all but the Rays, who are 3-1 in the American League East after opening weekend. Orioles pitchers made clutch pitches throughout the last two days. New York went 2-for-12 (.167)...

O's game blog: Orioles look for a series win in the Bronx
During a season that saw them lose 115 games, the Orioles actually had a winning record last year at Yankee Stadium. They went 5-4 and are 1-1 in the Bronx in the season-opening series that wraps up today. The Yankees won 7-2 on opening day but the Orioles beat New York 5-3 on Saturday afternoon. Jesús Sucre had three hits and three RBIs, Jimmy Yacabonis got the win and Mike Wright his first career save. Today, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (8-16, 5.45 ERA in 2018) pitches against New...

O's use some clutch pitching and more to post first win
The game began with an Orioles pitcher getting out of a big jam and it ended the same way. Nate Karns began the day as an opener and Mike Wright ended it as a surprise closer. They both got big outs and the Orioles got a few in between as well in beating the Yankees 5-3 on Saturday. They provided manager Brandon Hyde with his first win as O's skipper. Jimmy Yacabonis picked up his third career victory and Wright his first career save. He had not had one before either in the minors or...

O's game blog: For openers, Nate Karns gets the call
The Orioles will use an opener in right-hander Nate Karns when they face the New York Yankees today in the second game of the 2019 season. On opening day on Thursday, Luke Voit hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Yankees went on to win, 7-2. The Orioles signed the 31-year-old Karns to a major league contract on Feb. 7. Karns missed all last season and has not pitched in a major league game since May 19, 2017, for Kansas City. Later that season he had thoracic outlet surgery. Last...

Will the O's be searching for offense this year?
The Orioles were among the Grapefruit League team leaders in runs, hits and stolen bases. And that doesn't mean much now, obviously, in terms of what might happen in the American League. The Orioles were held to two runs and eight hits on opening day in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Yankees. It snapped an eight-game opening day win streak and left the Orioles with an all-time record of 43-23 in openers. The Orioles faced this quartet of pitchers in Game 1: Masahiro Tanaka, Adam Ottavino, Zack...
