Blown lead: Homers in eighth rally Blue Jays to 5-4 win, sweep

Blown lead: Homers in eighth rally Blue Jays to 5-4 win, sweep
TORONTO - Seemingly headed to a win to avoid being swept in three straight by Toronto, the Orioles bullpen allowed a pair of two-run homers in the eighth today and a potential win turned into yet another loss. A 4-1 lead was lost and so was another game. Center fielder Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer off Brad Brach in the eighth. That pulled Toronto within 4-3. Later in the inning Yangervis Solarte blasted a 97 mph Tanner Scott fastball out to left. He hit a 3-1 pitch for his own two-run...

Showalter on the lineup, bullpen and more (game update)

Showalter on the lineup, bullpen and more (game update)
TORONTO - Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is not starting today. But it has nothing to do with either an injury or a trade. When the Orioles played at Rogers Centre in June, Jones started all four games on the turf playing surface. But manager Buck Showalter didn't want him starting all three games in this series. "Just turf," he said. "He took a ball off his foot (on Friday). I figured he'd be as sore if not (more) sore today. We were contemplating (a day off) yesterday. Same with Chris...

O's game blog: Orioles need a win to avoid a sweep
TORONTO - The post-All-Star break portion of the Orioles schedule has not started well. With back-to-back losses in Toronto, they'll need a win today to avoid being swept in three straight. The Orioles lost four straight at Rogers Centre last month by a combined 27-11 score, although two of those losses were by a run in 10 innings. Then they lost 8-7 in 10 innings here Friday and 4-1 yesterday when they were held to five hits and didn't score after the first inning. Toronto (45-52) won...

Notes on rebuilding, a pitcher making an impression and Cashner's return

Notes on rebuilding, a pitcher making an impression and Cashner's return
TORONTO - As the Orioles look to add younger players this year and the rebuilding process really kicks in, the club may have to do even more teaching at the major league level. Young players need to keep learning and developing, even as they play and sometimes take some lumps in the major leagues. "That is one thing that has really changed in the game over the years," manager Buck Showalter said before Saturday's game. "You have do a lot more of that at the major league level because guys...

The O's talk about the inning that led to their latest loss

The O's talk about the inning that led to their latest loss
TORONTO - It was another game where the offense produced little, the defense came up short at times and the starting pitcher did just enough to lose. The Orioles and their fans have seen this more than a few times. The Orioles are 0-6 at Rogers Centre and 28-71 for the season after today's 4-1 loss to Toronto. Three unearned runs in the Blue Jays fourth were big on a day the Orioles had just five hits, went 1-for-4 with runners in scoring position and didn't score after the first inning. The...

The Orioles lose to Toronto and are 0-6 at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - For the 2018 Orioles, many of their losses have included moments where they contributed mightily to the defeat and it happened again today at Rogers Centre. Toronto scored three runs in the last of the fourth and beat the Orioles 4-1 this afternoon in front of 35,912 to take the first two games of this series. The Orioles (28-71) are 1-8 against Toronto for the season and 0-6 at Rogers Centre. After the Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the first on Adam Jones' single, the Blue Jays moved...

Showalter with more on last night's 10th inning (game update)
TORONTO - There was further discussion today with manager Buck Showalter during his pregame update today on the 10th inning here last night. With two outs and none on, shortstop Tim Beckham made an errant off-balance throw for what looked like a critical error that was actually scored an infield single. Then with two outs and two on, another grounder to the left side kicked off the glove of third baseman Renato Núñez and went under Beckham's glove as the winning run scored. It was a...

O's begin life without Manny with a tough loss at Rogers Centre

O's begin life without Manny with a tough loss at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - The so-called second half of the season - the post All-Star part - began for the Orioles in similar fashion to much of their first half. They suffered a brutal loss, one where the winning hit kicked off or under the gloves of both left-side infielders. Tim Beckham was at short and Renato Núñez at third. They couldn't make the play and Toronto produced an 8-7, 10-inning win. The Orioles are 0-5 this season at Rogers Centre and three of those losses were walk-off losses in the...

O's rally late, but fall in 10 innings at Toronto (postgame quotes)
TORONTO - On a night where Dylan Bundy struggled, the Orioles offense finally didn't. But it still did not lead to a win. After the Orioles scored five late runs to tie this game, Toronto won 8-7 via a walk-off single in the last of the 10th. Facing lefty Paul Fry, who got the last out of the ninth and with two outs and no one on, Russell Martin got an infield hit when shortstop Tim Beckham could not make an accurate off-balance throw on a grounder on the left side. A walk followed and then...

Britton on trade talks, Machado reaction and more (updated)
TORONTO - Manny Machado has been traded and Orioles closer Zach Britton could be next, with multiple teams seeking relief help at a time when Britton is gaining velocity and has put together seven straight scoreless appearances. I asked Britton if he or his agent have been seeking information from the club on the state of trade talks. "Scott Boras kind of lets them do their thing," said Britton. "If there is anything important, they normally reach out. But we've had enough conversations...

Jonathan Schoop on his emotional goodbye with Manny Machado

Jonathan Schoop on his emotional goodbye with Manny Machado
TORONTO - Well we had to know that Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop would experience some big emotions since Manny Machado was traded to the Dodgers. They came up through the farm together and played so many games as Orioles together. They are the best of friends. Schoop said today he was on a brief vacation at a lake property and could not get a cell signal. But eventually he got a call and it was from Machado. After he was told of the deal, Schoop drove three hours to Machado's house...

TORONTO - The Orioles resume their season tonight with the start of a three-game series at Rogers Centre.

They have just one winning streak of more than two games this season and that was when they won four in a row from May 9-12.

Three years later, Branden Kline made it back to Double-A and is trending up again
Before this season, Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Branden Kline had not pitched in a minor league game since early in the 2015 season. Now, after missing nearly three full years, he is back, pitching well, throwing with top velocity and moving closer to realizing his dream of pitching in the majors. The 26-year-old native of Frederick, Md., and a 2009 graduate of Thomas Johnson High School, Kline had Tommy John surgery in October 2015. He expected to return close to full health for the...

Nelson Cruz on the 2018 Orioles and more from the All-Star Game

Nelson Cruz on the 2018 Orioles and more from the All-Star Game
WASHINGTON - Former Oriole Nelson Cruz is not getting older, he's getting better. OK, well, he actually is getting older, but at 38 he is an All-Star for the sixth time, and he's having another strong season. He's batting .267/.363/.538 in 81 games for Seattle with 22 homers and 55 RBIs. He hit 40 homers and drove in 108 in his one year as an Oriole, helping the team to 96 wins and an American League East division championship in 2014. That winter the Orioles offered him a three-year deal to...

At first All-Star Game, Nick Markakis talks about family, O's and Machado
WASHINGTON - When he was an Oriole, Nick Markakis was always very cordial and available to reporters. But he certainly wasn't going to fill up any notebooks with quotes. Amid a horde of reporters today on the eve of his first All-Star Game, he referenced his reputation for being a man of few words. "There is a lot of media time, which I'm really excited about," he said, drawing a lot of laughs. "No, I get it. You guys are here for your job and we're here to take care of that for you...

Manny Machado's All-Star break numbers are much better in 2018

Manny Machado's All-Star break numbers are much better in 2018
While the trade rumors and speculation swirls around him and his days in an Orioles uniform are likely numbered, we should take a second to appreciate how good a first-half shortstop Manny Machado has had. He's among the American League leaders in several categories and his 2018 first-half far surpasses his 2017 first-half which featured struggles and numbers unlike Machado. But he had a big first-half with the bat and that is going to provide the Orioles a chance to get a bigger haul for him...
