Offense held in check as Orioles fall in series opener (quotes added)

Offense held in check as Orioles fall in series opener (quotes added)
PHILADELPHIA - In need of a good outing, Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb got one tonight. In need of many victories, the Orioles did not get one tonight. Their offense was held to three runs or less for the 29th time in the last 40 games in a 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies to start a two-game series. A crowd of 28,204 waited out a rain delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes before first pitch. Philadelphia third baseman Maikel Franco made a diving backhand stop against Chris Davis with two outs and...

Rasmus leaves Orioles, goes on restricted list (start delayed)
PHILADELPHIA - Outfielder Colby Rasmus is no longer on the Orioles. He has decided - at least for now - to stop playing Major League Baseball. The Orioles have placed him on the restricted list and they will work to get another player here for Wednesday's game. They will take on the Phillies tonight with a 24-man roster. "Colby talked to me this afternoon and said he made a decision to go home and discontinue playing," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "We're going to honor that and...

Chance Sisco's return to O's has produced a heavy workload

Chance Sisco's return to O's has produced a heavy workload
PHILADELPHIA - Tonight is the fifth Orioles game since catcher Chance Sisco was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on June 28. It will be his fifth start. Optioned on June 17, Sisco spent a brief time in the minors. Since he's been back, he's been busy. "It is always a good feeling to come to the park and have your name in the lineup," said Sisco, who is batting .208 with two homers and 16 RBIs over 51 games. He's in there tonight batting eighth as the Orioles begin a two-game series against...

That result for the Orioles (24-59) snapped a seven-game losing streak overall and 17-game skid versus American League opponents. Tonight, they begin a quick two-game series against Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. The Orioles went 6-20 in June, but started July off with a win. Still they have lost seven...

Random notes and a take on Jonathan Schoop

Random notes and a take on Jonathan Schoop
Sunday's win by the Orioles over the Los Angeles Angels by an 8-2 score ended a few losing streaks for the club. It ended their seven-game losing streak, which was their fourth this year of seven or more games. It ended their 0-5 record this season and seven-game losing streak dating to last season against the Angels. It ended a 17-game losing streak versus American League teams dating to May 25. It ended their 0-15 run this year against AL West teams. So they put a few negative streaks to...

Kevin Gausman on his outing, Mark Trumbo on the offense

Kevin Gausman on his outing, Mark Trumbo on the offense
The Orioles hitting four home runs and scoring eight times - that was new and different today. But right-hander Kevin Gausman throwing well was really not. He pitched the Orioles past the Los Angeles Angels 8-2, delivering his fifth straight solid start and his 10th quality start in 17 games. On a day when he allowed six hits and two runs over eight innings on 104 pitches, Gausman saved some of his best velocity for his last inning. Entering the eighth with a 2-1 lead, he got his first...

Gausman goes eight innings, O's homer four times to end streak
On a day where the Orioles posted their first win against an American League team since May 25, there were co-stars in an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at steamy Oriole Park. There was pitcher Kevin Gausman and there was power. The Orioles hit four home runs. The Orioles went 0-15 versus AL opponents during a 6-20 June and had lost 17 in a row since that late May win versus Tampa Bay. The Orioles (24-59) today snapped a seven-game losing streak and avoided going winless during a...

O's game blog: O's try to avoid sweep by the Angels
After finishing the month of June with just one home win and no wins versus any American League teams, the Orioles begin July today looking to avoid being swept in three straight by the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles (23-59) went 6-20 in June, which included a 1-12 home record and 0-15 mark versus AL teams. The Orioles have lost 7-1 and 6-2 games in this series. They took a 2-1 lead to the eighth yesterday, but allowed five runs in that inning to fall to 0-5 this year versus the Angels and...

They were on competing teams in the College World Series finals, which ended Thursday night.

O's lose late lead, streak reaches seven (Grenier agrees)

O's lose late lead, streak reaches seven (Grenier agrees)
On a steamy Saturday afternoon at Camden Yards, right-hander Andrew Cashner delivered a solid outing, another quality start and was in position for his first win at home with the Orioles. But an offense that didn't score after the first inning and an O's bullpen that imploded conspired against him. The Los Angeles Angels scored five times in the eighth to win 6-2 in front of 38,838 at Camden Yards. The Orioles (23-59) losing streak reaches seven. It's the club's seventh streak of five or...

The Orioles reached the midpoint of the 2018 season after last night's 7-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles are 23-58 and that projects to a final record of 46-116.

This year they have had losing streaks of five, six, five, seven, seven, nine and now six games. If you add that up that is an amazing 0-45 in those streaks. In...

Showalter on O'Day having surgery and Schoop's reset
Orioles reliever Darren O'Day is going to have season-ending surgery on his strained left hamstring. Yesterday O'Day was moved from the 10-day to the 60-day disabled list. The recovery time will be six months after the procedure. O'Day suffered the injury while trying to field a ball Tuesday night versus Seattle in what will turn out to be his last game of the 2018 season. He got a second opinion yesterday. He is 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.100 WHIP in 20 games. "Just kind of deciding when...

In June, Ryan Mountcastle got his bat going at Bowie

In June, Ryan Mountcastle got his bat going at Bowie
Double-A Bowie third baseman Ryan Mountcastle might be making up for some lost time with his bat. He didn't begin his season at Bowie until May 10, but as June comes to an end, his bat has heated up for the Baysox. On June 23 at Richmond, Mountcastle went 6-for-7 in a doubleheader. It was part of a run where he had 12 hits in 16 at-bats. And that was part of a stretch where, over his last 10 games, he is batting .447 (17-for-38). It raised his season OPS from .763 to .842. The 21-year-old...

Well, one of these teams will snap a losing streak tonight when the Orioles host the Los Angeles Angels to begin a three-game weekend series.

In latest loss, two young right-handers showed their potential

In latest loss, two young right-handers showed their potential
If you are a fan of a baseball team team that is 34 games under .500, 1-15 in its last 16 home games and has been swept nine times in series of three or more games, you take good news anywhere you can get it. In their latest loss Thursday afternoon to Seattle, two young right-handed pitchers showed some promise for the Orioles. They'll have to settle for that after being swept four in a row by the Mariners. Drafted in the 13th round in 2013 out of Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia,...

O's miscues help Seattle rally as Mariners win in 10 (with quotes)
The Orioles got solid pitching and held the Seattle Mariners in check through nine innings today.

The Mariners had lost six of seven before this series began, but leave with a record of 51-31 overall and 8-0 in extra-inning games. The Orioles (23-57) have lost five in a...

It was another night when O's players had to explain why they came up short

It was another night when O's players had to explain why they came up short
After the latest Orioles loss, pitchers Alex Cobb and Zach Britton held themselves accountable for their shortcomings, which led to their team's 56th defeat of the season. That was admirable and not surprising, coming from that veteran duo. The frustrating part for players and fans alike is that the Orioles constant stream of losses keeps providing players plenty of opportunities to fall on the sword. Last night a potential feel-good win turned into a loss when Britton suffered a blown...
