Another look at one that got away and other notes

Another look at one that got away and other notes
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles and Kansas City Royals didn't look like they gave a darn last night about any No. 1 draft pick. They both went hard to win a game. Down 2-1 in the sixth, the Royals scored twice off Dylan Bundy. Down 3-2 in the eighth, the Orioles scored twice to take a 4-3 lead. Then the ninth inning happened. Manager Buck Showalter had made no such proclamation that Mychal Givens is the Orioles closer but he has been. Givens went 4-for-5 in save chances since Aug. 5 heading into...

Whit Merrifield's walk-off homer hands O's latest loss (with quotes)

Whit Merrifield's walk-off homer hands O's latest loss (with quotes)
KANSAS CITY - They were three outs from a comeback win. But they suffered a walk-off loss instead. Whit Merrifield's two-run homer to left center off Mychal Givens gave the Kansas City Royals a 5-4 ninth-inning win over the Orioles tonight. Givens came on to try to wrap up a 4-3 win. But he walked leadoff batter Brett Phillips on four pitches, and then Phillips moved to second on a sac bunt. Merrifield then drilled an 0-2 fastball 415 feet to end the game as the Orioles suffered a stunning...

Showalter on why just one call-up (plus a game update)

Showalter on why just one call-up (plus a game update)
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles added just one player today, when rosters can expand to as many as 40 players. They are going to add more but it didn't happen this afternoon, as just infielder Breyvic Valera was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. So why just the one addition? "You could ask Dan (Duquette), but I think they (the minor league teams) have three games there left," manager Buck Showalter said. "Same reason why, what did they (Kansas City) call up, one? They'll be right around the...

Returning to lineup, Andreoli looks to make impact with speed

Returning to lineup, Andreoli looks to make impact with speed
KANSAS CITY - He's been an Oriole less than two weeks and we've seen flashes of his speed both in the outfield and on the bases. But John Andreoli's fleet feet had real impact in the Orioles' last win at home, on Wednesday versus the Blue Jays. In a 5-5 tie in the last of the sixth, Andreoli got an infield hit, stole second base and scored on Austin Wynns' single to give the Orioles a 6-5 lead in a game they won 10-5. Two innings later he hit one into left-center and produced a hustle...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces the Royals in K.C.
KANSAS CITY - After Friday's 9-2 loss at Kansas City, the Orioles will try to break a five-game road losing streak tonight when the clubs meet in the second game of the series against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-13, 5.37 ERA) will make his 26th start. After struggling for most of the last two months, Bundy felt he made some progress Sunday night at home versus the Yankees. He went five innings, allowing six hits and four runs on 100 pitches. "I thought it was a...

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.

Orioles blown out 9-2 in series opener (with quotes)
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. On the mound, right-hander Andrew Cashner allowed four runs over 5 1/3 innings and the bullpen gave up five as Kansas City beat the Orioles 9-2 at Kauffman Stadium. 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...

Mark Trumbo's surgery is set for next week (game update)
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles' Mark Trumbo will have arthroscopic right knee surgery next week on either Thursday or Friday in Baltimore. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Leigh Ann Curl. "We all felt like that was where this was going to head, but Mark gathered all the information and feels real comfortable with what is going to be done," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He should be a (healthy) player if everything goes well, should make the start of the season next year. It's...

Orioles' Cedric Mullins on visit to the Negro Leagues Museum
KANSAS CITY - Founded in 1990, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is based here. The non-profit organization is dedicated to preserving the rich history of African-American baseball. Over the years, the Orioles have toured the museum a few times, and several players took another tour today. Among them was center fielder Cedric Mullins. "It was awesome," said Mullins. "Growing up, I got a lot of tidbits on Negro Leagues history. But today, to get the full script basically of how everything...

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...

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
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
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...
