O's offense kept coming back, but they lose the series opener

O's offense kept coming back, but they lose the series opener
For Orioles fans, losses to the New York Yankees provide frustration whether they come with the Orioles in first place or last, contending for the playoffs or 60 games out of first place. It was frustrating that, while the Orioles kept coming back last night. They could not get over the hump. They trailed 6-0 and pulled within 6-4. They trailed 9-4 and pulled within 9-8 but a 10-8 loss was how their start to the final road trip ended up. The Orioles are now 44-109. The Orioles offense was good...

O's game blog: The final road trip begins in New York

O's game blog: The final road trip begins in New York
And then there were 10. Just 10 games and three series remain in the 2018 season. The Orioles (44-108) begin their last road trip of the season playing three games at Yankee Stadium starting tonight and three in Boston beginning Monday night. Then they return home for a four-game series with the Astros to conclude the year. On Wednesday night the Orioles held Toronto to four hits in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. DJ Stewart hit his first career homer and scored the second run when he doubled and...

A look at the minor league pitcher with big stats but little fanfare

A look at the minor league pitcher with big stats but little fanfare
Talk about flying under the radar. He finished fourth in the South Atlantic League in ERA and second among qualifying Orioles minor league pitchers. Yet while higher-drafted players and/or pitchers that got promoted this season got more attention, he just kept cranking out solid starts. If you mention the Orioles top pitching prospects, you might leave him off your list but you definitely should not. At 20, right-hander Brenan Hanifee went 8-6 with a 2.86 ERA for Single-A Delmarva. Over 23...

O's win last night had a heavy homegrown flavor

O's win last night had a heavy homegrown flavor
The Orioles will take small victories when they can get them right now. Heck, they will take any victories at this point. And last night they got one that had a distinctive homegrown flavor. At a time when the Orioles are looking to rebuild in the future and use some of their own draft picks to do so, their 2-1 win over Toronto was a product with a heavy farm system flavor Wednesday night. The O's used spot starter Jimmy Yacabonis and four bullpen pitchers. Four of the pitchers used were...

DJ Stewart hits first major league homer and O's take series finale (postgame quotes)

DJ Stewart hits first major league homer and O's take series finale (postgame quotes)
They are not a rock band, but tonight Jimmy and the bullpen got it done for the Orioles. Right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis went the first four innings and the bullpen took it from there. The O's hung on late for a 2-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards. The Orioles (44-108) end the homestand going 3-6. In each series - against Oakland, the Chicago White Sox and Toronto - they lost the first two games, but avoided the sweep by taking the series finale. DJ Stewart hit his first career...

O's game blog: Blue Jays look for sweep in series finale

O's game blog: Blue Jays look for sweep in series finale
Four of the five series between the Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays this season have ended in a sweep. It will be five of six if Toronto wins tonight at Oriole Park to complete another three-game sweep. The Blue Jays have dominated the season series this year, going 14-4 against the Orioles. This included a 10-0 mark at Rogers Centre, where Toronto had two sweeps of three games and one of four games. The Orioles swept the Blue Jays in three straight Aug. 27-29 in Baltimore, scoring 29 runs. But...

After loss No. 108, is there anywhere fans can find hope?

After loss No. 108, is there anywhere fans can find hope?
It started out pretty well. Cedric Mullins turned around a 96 mph fastball and hit it out 405 feet. A few innings later, DJ Stewart got his first big league hit, and two errors later it turned into a Little League homer. Dylan Bundy was looking at times like Dealin' Dylan again. But this being the 2018 Orioles, a pothole is around every corner. Some are more the size of craters. They all seem to lead to disappointment and heartache. The Orioles defense would come up short yet again. This time...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy will try to provide rotation needed innings

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy will try to provide rotation needed innings
When right-hander Evan Phillips went two innings in a spot start for the Orioles last night, it was the latest outing where the Orioles starter did not get deep into the game. Right-hander Dylan Bundy (8-14, 5.48 ERA) will try to change that tonight in the second game of a series versus Toronto. Over the past eight games, O's starters have thrown a total of 25 innings. Five times in that stretch, their starter went two innings or less. That includes when Alex Cobb, Andrew Cashner and Luis...

Dean Kremer on all the strikeouts and notes from loss No. 107

Dean Kremer on all the strikeouts and notes from loss No. 107
When the Orioles presented their minor league awards on Saturday night at Camden Yards, they also recognized one of the 15 players they got in the July trades. That was 22-year-old right-handed pitcher Dean Kremer. Kremer got recognition for leading the minors in strikeouts. That is the entire minor leagues this year at all classifications. No one fanned more than Kremer, who struck out 178 batters over 131 1/3 innings pitching in two organizations for three different teams. He began the year...

No runs, no win: O's blanked by Blue Jays (with postgame quotes)

No runs, no win: O's blanked by Blue Jays (with postgame quotes)
It has just been that kind of year for the Orioles. A day after their biggest first inning of the season and a game where they scored eight times, they were shut out at Camden Yards tonight. And with this 5-0 loss to Toronto, the Orioles fall to 43-107. At 107 losses, the 2018 Orioles match the 1988 Orioles for most defeats in a season in club history. Unless the Orioles finish the year 12-0, they will set a new record with their next loss. Tonight the Orioles were shut out for the third time...

O's game blog: Evan Phillips gets the start against Toronto
The first 13 times this year the Orioles played Toronto, they went 1-12 and scored 35 runs. The last three times the clubs played - Aug. 27-29 at Camden Yards - the Orioles swept the series and scored 29 runs. See how much more you can win when scoring runs in bunches? From Aug. 20-22, the Orioles scored five runs in a three-game series at Rogers Centre and got swept three straight. That left them 0-10 this year in Toronto and 1-12 for the season. Then they swept the Blue Jays at Oriole Park by...

Tonight's starter Evan Phillips on improvements he made at Triple-A

Tonight's starter Evan Phillips on improvements he made at Triple-A
Right-hander Evan Phillips last pitched in a game for the Orioles on Aug. 15. He last pitched in a game for anybody on Sept. 2, when he threw a scoreless inning with two strikeouts for Triple-A Norfolk. Tonight he's the starting pitcher for the Orioles against Toronto. We'll see how long he can go and how well he can pitch. The Maryland native, born in Salisbury, was acquired by the Orioles on July 31 in the trade that sent Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day to Atlanta. The next day, he threw a...

Dan Duquette talks Victor Victor Mesa, Cedric Mullins talks about his big game

Dan Duquette talks Victor Victor Mesa, Cedric Mullins talks about his big game
So the Orioles have 13 games remaining in the 2018 season. And that could mean just 13 games remaining for the club's two top baseball operations decision-makers. Both executive vice president Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter have contracts that expire at the end of the season. There have been no announcements yet from the club on the futures with the Orioles of one or both men. During an appearance Sunday on "Orioles Baseball Tonight" on 105.7 FM the Fan, Duquette was asked if he has...

O's use big first inning, solid 'pen to beat White Sox (quotes added)

O's use big first inning, solid 'pen to beat White Sox (quotes added)
They were blanked last night, but the Orioles would not be shut out today. Behind their biggest first inning of the 2018 season, they beat the Chicago White Sox 8-4 to avoid getting swept in three straight at Camden Yards. The Orioles (43-106) avoided, at least for a day, tying the 1988 Orioles for most losses in club history. They won for just second time in 10 games and third in the last 15 games. They are 26-48 at home. Chicago (59-90) was looking for its first three-game sweep in Baltimore...

O's game blog: O's need a win to avoid being swept in three straight
The Orioles have lost by 8-6 and 2-0 scores to the Chicago White Sox this weekend at Oriole Park. They need a victory today over the White Sox or Chicago will have its first three-game sweep at Baltimore in more than 20 years. Chicago's last three-game sweep in Baltimore from was from Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 1998. Since then, the White Sox have swept a four-game series in Baltimore and that was from July 29-Aug. 1, 2005. With a loss today, the Orioles (42-106) will equal the club record for losses in...

Brooks Robinson was in the house to highlight the minor league awards

Brooks Robinson was in the house to highlight the minor league awards
Outfielder Cedric Mullins called being named the winner of the Brooks Robinson Award as the Orioles' minor league Player of the Year "top tier." But having Mr. Oriole himself there might have taken it a few tiers beyond that. When Brooks Robinson is around, is it possible to have a bad day? The Orioles Hall of Famer, legend, all-time great and current team special advisor and community liaison was seated in the second row during a press conference last night to honor the minor league award...

Yefry Ramírez throws strong game, but O's blanked (with quotes)

Yefry Ramírez throws strong game, but O's blanked (with quotes)
An injury-riddled and struggling Orioles rotation got a shot in the arm tonight. It came from the right arm of Yefry Ramírez. He put together his best start since he threw five scoreless July 14 in Baltimore against the Rangers. But would he or the team get a win out of it? Chicago White Sox right-hander Reynaldo López made that a no. He's been pitching well lately, and that sure carried over tonight as the White Sox beat the Orioles 2-0 in front of 23,266 at Oriole Park. Chicago won an...

Hearing from the minor league award winners and Brooks Robinson

Hearing from the minor league award winners and Brooks Robinson
So it had to be pretty cool tonight when Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins sat at a Camden Yards press conference to recognize the Orioles' 2018 minor league award winners. Mullins won Player of the Year, taking home the Brooks Robinson Award. And Brooks was there looking on in the second row. The Hall of Famer met Mullins in person for the first time today. No. 5 met No. 3. "I know he can play center field, just depends on how he's going to hit," Brooks said. "I saw him hit that...

Cashner not likely to make next start, Means could still be added
The Orioles rotation remains very much in flux with 15 games remaining. The Orioles don't know for sure if or when Alex Cobb and/or Andrew Cashner will start again, and Luis Ortiz left last night's game with an injury. Right-hander David Hess will re-enter the rotation for tomorrow's start, and Yefry Ramírez pitches tonight, but it's rather up in the air after that. Manager Buck Showalter said "potentially" when asked if the Orioles have enough pitchers on the roster right now to make...

O's game blog: Yefry Ramírez faces the White Sox
With losses in seven of eight and 11 of the last 13 games, the Orioles (42-105) host the Chicago White Sox tonight in the second game of a three-game series. Chicago scored seven runs in the first five innings last night in an 8-6 win over Baltimore. Trey Mancini put the Orioles on the board with a solo home run to lead off the second inning. He homered again in the fourth inning, another solo shot. This was Mancini's first multi-homer game of 2018 and the fifth of his career. He hit his 22nd...
