On Friday night, Cedric Mullins was solid, but didn't get much help

On Friday night, Cedric Mullins was solid, but didn't get much help
KANSAS CITY - On the first night of a three-game series between the two teams with the worst records in the majors, not a lot went right for the Orioles. Their starter, Andrew Cashner, allowed four runs, their bullpen gave up five and they were outscored 9-2 and outhit 14-4. While center fielder Cedric Mullins went 2-for-4, the rest of the Orioles went 2-for-26 in the series opener. The Orioles have lost five in a row on the road, where they are 16-51.

KANSAS CITY - Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins hit the second pitch of the game tonight for a home run. But the O's did little on offense after that.

It was the first of a three-game weekend series. With this result, the gap between the two teams with the worst records in the majors widened to 3 1/2 games. The Orioles are on...

Notes on team speed, international signings and Chris Davis

Notes on team speed, international signings and Chris Davis
No one is calling them the Go-Go Orioles just yet, but an Orioles team that stole 32 bases all of last year has 19 steals in August. Yes, this is very different. The club is making some things happen on the bases, morphing into a team hitting fewer home runs, but trying to make it happen more with speed before our eyes. In the first half the Orioles ranked 12th in the American League in stolen bases. In the second half they rank sixth, and this month they rank fourth. The Orioles have 21 steals...

DL Hall's first full professional season is a rousing success
He's getting ready to make his final start of the minor league season on Friday night. And for the Orioles 2017 top draft pick, 19-year-old left-hander DL Hall, there has been almost nothing but success in his first full season of professional baseball. He's made all his starts, been healthy, dramatically improved his changeup, posted very good statistics and gained both knowledge and maturity. And he's ending the year on a tremendous roll. He's checked off pretty much every box, so what is...

Josh Rogers makes winning debut, Delmarva's All-Stars and more

Josh Rogers makes winning debut, Delmarva's All-Stars and more
An 11th-round draft pick of the New York Yankees in 2015, left-hander Josh Rogers made it to the Double-A level with Trenton in the Eastern League in the 2017 season. But it was just for seven starts and he assumed he would begin this year back in that Double-A rotation. But Rogers got a surprise and he began the 2018 season in the rotation with Triple-A Scranton. Then he got another surprise. He was traded to the Orioles and would pitch for Triple-A Norfolk. Then came his latest surprise. He...

Second baseman Jonathan Villar on the O's stolen bases

Second baseman Jonathan Villar on the O's stolen bases
The Orioles rank 11th in the American League with 54 stolen bases, but they are trending up with that stat after getting six steals the last two games. They are doing a lot better than the 2017 Orioles, who had 32 steals for the year to rank last in the AL, 21 behind the next closest team. Second baseman Jonathan Villar is happy to lead the charge when it comes to steals. He wants to get some of his own steals and he is very ready, he said, to help his teammates learn the art of the steal. "We...

David Hess impressed in latest solid outing, plus other notes

David Hess impressed in latest solid outing, plus other notes
If the Toronto Blue Jays were going to break through last night versus Orioles right-hander David Hess, the middle innings provided them with plenty of chances. A leadoff double in the fourth. Runners on first and second with one out in the fifth. Runners on the corners with two outs in the sixth. I guess we could say Hess bent but didn't break. Toronto went scoreless in six innings against him last night and the Blue Jays went 0-for-6 against him with runners in scoring in those middle...

Hess throws six scoreless, Mancini drives in five in win (quotes added)
In might be a little early to be calling him a stopper, but in a rematch with the Toronto Blue Jays tonight, right-hander David Hess handled them again and in the process the Orioles ended an eight-game losing streak. Hess had a co-star tonight as Trey Mancini produced a five-RBI night with a three-run homer and two-run double. It matches his career high of June 7, 2017 versus Pittsburgh. Hess threw six scoreless in his latest strong outing as the Orioles blanked Toronto 7-0 in the series...

O's game blog: Can Hess duplicate success against Toronto?
The last time right-hander David Hess (2-8, 5.50 ERA) took the mound he pitched well in a loss at Toronto's Rogers Centre. That was on Wednesday afternoon. Now, five days later, Hess goes back to the mound and the Blue Jays are once again the opponent. In that game last week, Hess went a career-high seven innings and threw a career-high seven strikeouts. He gave up just three hits and one run, and left trailing 1-0 in a game the Orioles would lose 6-0. Hess had a four-start stretch in June...

Ryan Meisinger is among the latest young arms to get bullpen chance
As the Orioles continue to look at a series of younger pitchers in their remodeled bullpen, right-hander Ryan Meisinger returned to the team Aug. 17 for his second stint this year in the majors. An 11th-round pick out of Radford University in Virginia in 2015, Meisinger was with the Orioles from June 29 to July 10. He allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. The 24-year-old Meisinger first made it to Double-A Bowie in 2017. This year he's played at three levels, starting with Bowie...

Dylan Bundy takes 13th loss as O's are swept (postgame quotes)
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy had moments where he showed some improvement tonight, but he also fell behind 4-0 in the third inning. It was a hole the Orioles could not quite climb out of as they lost 5-3 to the New York Yankees, who sweep this four-game series at Oriole Park. For New York (83-47), this is its first four-game sweep in Baltimore since Aug. 14-17, 2003. The Orioles (37-94) have lost eight in a row, one short of a season high. They have lost 10 of 11, 15 of 17 and 19 of their...
