Zach Britton on returning to the active roster today
Orioles closer Zach Britton may get in a game tonight and pitch for the team for the first time since Sept. 18, 2017, when he threw a scoreless inning versus Boston.

A few final notes and quotes from the Toronto series

A few final notes and quotes from the Toronto series
The Orioles' recent run of solid starting pitching came to a screeching halt Sunday in Toronto. After the Blue Jays put together a two-run rally against right-hander Alex Cobb with an infield hit and a bloop double in the second, they hit him hard later in the game. Cobb tied his career high by allowing nine runs and 11 hits in the 13-3 loss. His record is 2-8 with a 7.23 ERA and the Orioles are now just 2-9 in his 11 starts. He also allowed nine runs on June 3, 2017 for Tampa Bay at...

Swept away in Toronto: O's lose big to end road trip (quotes added)

Swept away in Toronto: O's lose big to end road trip (quotes added)
TORONTO - A series that began with the Orioles blowing a three-run ninth-inning lead Thursday night ended today with no late leads to worry about. The Orioles trailed 9-1 after the fourth and lost 13-3 to Toronto at Rogers Centre. It was an awful ending to a four-game sweep by a Toronto team that began this series losers of seven of their last eight games and 10 of their last 11 home games. Today they completed their first four-game home sweep of the Orioles since June 26-28, 1978. The Orioles...

Showalter pregame on Davis, the offense and more (game update)
TORONTO - After two days off, first baseman Chris Davis is back in the Orioles lineup today, batting sixth and playing first base. He's batting .152/.232/.232 with just four homers and 15 RBIs for the season. His skipper hopes some time to reset and clear his head may finally help get the slugger get back to producing. "I hope so. We'll see," manager Buck Showalter said. Davis was not available to comment today on whether he was part of the decision to not start yesterday. Yesterday,...

O's game blog: Orioles need a win to avoid four-game sweep
TORONTO - The Orioles end a four-game series in Toronto and a six-game road trip this afternoon at Rogers Centre. Since Thursday, they've lost by scores of 5-4 in 10 innings, 5-1 and 4-3 in 10 innings. The Blue Jays today seek their first four-game home sweep of the Orioles since June 26-28, 1978.

O's rotation gets rolling, but the wins are still hard to get

O's rotation gets rolling, but the wins are still hard to get
TORONTO - At a time when the Orioles rotation is on its best run of the season, that success is not translating into wins. During a five-game road trip, the Orioles have gotten five quality starts, but have gone 2-3. During the past 10 games, they have gotten nine quality starts, but have gone 2-8. In the last five games, the starters have posted an ERA of 2.27. Over the past 10 games, the ERA is 3.34. This 10-game run has lowered the rotation ERA for the year from 5.60 to 5.18.

Another walk-off loss: Bases-loaded walk ends it in 10th (with quotes)

Another walk-off loss: Bases-loaded walk ends it in 10th (with quotes)
TORONTO - For the Orioles it was yet another day when they got a decent starting pitching effort but little offense. You've heard this story before, and it rang true again this afternoon at Rogers Centre. The Orioles went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left 13 on base. In a 3-3 tie in the ninth they got runners to second and third with one out but failed to score. The Blue Jays won it 4-3 on a bases-loaded walk in the last of the 10th. The Orioles took their second walk-off loss...

Updating Harvey, Showalter on Scott and more (game update)

Updating Harvey, Showalter on Scott and more (game update)
TORONTO - Orioles top pitching prospect Hunter Harvey will be out at least six weeks, according to an industry source. Harvey was scratched from a scheduled start last night due to "posterior shoulder instability." In his last Baysox start, Harvey gave up six runs and five hits over two innings. That raised his ERA from 4.15 to 5.57 after nine starts. The source said that Harvey "will undergo six weeks of physical therapy" on the shoulder and then the Orioles will decide the next...

TORONTO - On this current road trip, the Orioles have scored two, one, four and one run. They actually won two games in New York, but they've lost the last two nights in Toronto. The Blue Jays (28-35) host the Orioles (19-43) this afternoon in the third game of the series and fifth of the road trip. The Orioles have scored eight runs on 23 hits at Citi Field and Rogers Centre. In last night's 5-1 loss, Craig Gentry went 3-for-3 and the rest of the Baltimore lineup was 2-for-28. The Orioles...

As losses mount, players know changes likely

As losses mount, players know changes likely
TORONTO - As the Orioles have continued to struggle to score runs and the losses began to mount, no one in the clubhouse has blinders on. They know how bad it is and as they look around that clubhouse these days, players seem to realize it could look very different in there over the next few weeks and months. The team has four pending free agents - Manny Machado, Adam Jones, Zach Britton and Brad Brach - and any or all of the four could go in trade-deadline deals in July. Or maybe sooner. And...

O's get another quality start, but offense comes up short (with quotes)
TORONTO - For the fourth time on this road trip and the eighth time in the last nine games, the Orioles got a quality start tonight. But once again, they lost due to their underperforming offense. They are 2-7 in those nine games. Toronto beat the Orioles 5-1 in front of 28,863 at Rogers Centre. They've taken the first two in this series after the Orioles won two in a row against the Mets at Citi Field in New York. The Orioles fall to 19-43 overall, with losses in nine of their last 11, and to...

Showalter on Davis, Harvey scratched (game update)
TORONTO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter once again left Chris Davis out of the starting lineup tonight as the Orioles face Toronto lefty J.A. Happ. Davis is batting .152/.232/.232 with four doubles, four homers and 15 RBIs. While he is batting just .174 (4-for-23) against Happ for his career, Davis obviously isn't hitting anyone right now. His last homer was May 9, and in that 22-game stretch since then, he has just two RBIs. Davis right now is just showing no signs or progress of any kind....

Darren O'Day on rejoining the Orioles

Darren O'Day on rejoining the Orioles
TORONTO - Orioles reliever Darren O'Day rejoined the club today after spending a few days with the Single-A Frederick Keys and pitching twice at Woodbridge, Va., against the Washington Nationals' Potomac farm team. O'Day has been on the disabled list, retroactive to May 6, with a hyperextended right elbow. When he pitched for the Keys on Tuesday, he walked three batters, got just two outs and saw all three runs score on a grand slam after he left the game. But last night, he pitched a...

O's game blog: Orioles looking to bounce back from series-opening loss
TORONTO - After blowing a lead in the ninth and losing in the 10th last night, the Orioles return to Rogers Centre tonight looking to bounce back with a win against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's the second game of a four-game series. The Orioles (19-42) will have 100 games remaining after this one. Last night they fell short in a bid for a season-high three-game road winning streak. They have lost eight of 10, 10 of 14 and 14 of the last 20 games. Toronto began this series having lost seven of...

The rookie battery created a mostly feel-good night for the Orioles

The rookie battery created a mostly feel-good night for the Orioles
Maybe we can set aside for the moment the fact that manager Buck Showalter gambled and lost, pitching Brad Brach three days in a row. And also leaving him in too long when he was struggling. If we could put aside a blown three-run lead in the ninth and the latest gut-punch loss we can realize that something pretty neat happened last night at Rogers Centre. The Orioles sent out a rookie battery of catcher Austin Wynns, drafted in round 10 in 2013 out of Fresno State and pitcher David Hess,...

Walk-off loss: O's blow lead in the ninth, lose in 10th (with quotes)
TORONTO - The Orioles tonight turned a feel-good win into a walk-off loss. They blew a three-run lead in the last of the ninth and took a walk-off loss in the last of the 10th, losing 5-4 at Toronto to start a four-game series. Against Miguel Castro, Teoscar Hernández led off the 10th with a double to left-center and Justin Smoak was intentionally walked. Castro then fanned two straight batters, but could not get the third out. Shortstop Aledmys Díaz lined a single to left and the Blue...

Showalter on Britton's strong outing (game update)
TORONTO - Orioles closer Zach Britton threw another scoreless inning today during his minor league rehab assignment. Britton has thrown scoreless ball over four games and today needed just seven pitches to pitch a scoreless sixth inning for Triple-A Norfolk at Columbus. Britton got a strikeout on four pitches and then got a groundout, allowed a single and induced a lineout - all on first pitches. Seven pitches, six strikes, not bad. In four rehab games for three affiliates, Britton has thrown a...

O's game blog: David Hess pitches Toronto series opener
TORONTO - The Orioles managed to score just three runs in two games at Citi Field against the New York Mets, but they posted 2-1 and 1-0 wins to sweep that two-game series. Tonight, they look for their first three-game road winning streak of the 2018 season. According to STATS, LLC., the series win was just the second in Orioles history when scoring three or fewer total runs. The Orioles also swept a two-game series from the New York Yankees from Sept. 9-10, 1970, winning 1-0 and 2-1. According...

Wrapping up the draft with O's scouting director Gary Rajsich
The Orioles completed three days of the First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday.

Both are expected to sign for slightly under-slot bonuses. From a draft pool of $8,754,400 for the Orioles, the slot value of the No. 11 pick for Rodriguez is $4,375,100....
