David Hess excited for another chance, plus other notes

David Hess excited for another chance, plus other notes
CHICAGO - As of last night, the Orioles had not released their starting pitchers yet for the weekend series against Tampa Bay. But barring a huge surprise, right-hander David Hess will make his third major league start against the team he faced in his MLB debut. "Anytime you get out there it's a lot of fun," Hess said in looking forward to Friday. "Just to get another opportunity to kind of show what I can do means a lot to me. Sometimes the learning process is difficult. But through that...

Windy city blowout: Alex Cobb exits early, Sox roll 11-1 (with quotes)

Windy city blowout: Alex Cobb exits early, Sox roll 11-1 (with quotes)
CHICAGO - The night began with some promise for Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb. He had pitched to an ERA of 3.38 his previous four starts. He retired his seven batters faced. But when it turned against him, it turned fast. Cobb allowed six runs and eight hits over 3 2/3, as the Chicago White Sox beat the Orioles 11-1 at Guaranteed Rate Field. They have taken two of the first three in this series. The Orioles fall to 15-34 overall and 5-21 on the road, where they have lost 17 of their past...

Showalter on injury concerns for Trumbo and O'Day (game update)

Showalter on injury concerns for Trumbo and O'Day (game update)
CHICAGO - When the Orioles lineup came out today and Mark Trumbo was not in it, there was at least some reason to wonder if he was being benched after failing to catch a fly ball in the eighth last night that ignited a three-run game-winning rally for Chicago. But at the same time, you had to keep in mind that Trumbo went 4-for-4 Tuesday night and why take a hot bat out of the lineup? Well, Trumbo is being held out tonight due to a physical reason. "He banged his (right) knee, he thinks,...

O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces the White Sox
CHICAGO - The Orioles and Chicago White Sox have split a pair of 3-2 decisions to start a four-game series that continues tonight at Guaranteed Rate Field. At 15-33, the Orioles are 5-20 in road games, with losses in 16 of their past 18 away from Oriole Park. While they are 7-6 over the last 13 games, over a longer stretch they have lost 13 of 20 and 27 of the last 38 games. The Orioles didn't hit a homer last night after Manny Machado, Mark Trumbo and Adam Jones connected Monday night. The...

With the White Sox now, Delmonico remembers his time with the Orioles

With the White Sox now, Delmonico remembers his time with the Orioles
CHICAGO - The Orioles selected him in the sixth round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of a high school in Knoxville, Tenn. They liked his bat a lot and signed Nicky Delmonico then to an overslot bonus of $1.525 million. But at the trade deadline in 2013, in a search for immediate relief help, he was traded to Milwaukee for veteran right-hander Francisco Rodriguez. He was the Orioles No. 4 ranked prospect at the time. Now Delmonico makes the Chicago White Sox clubhouse home. He signed...

Gausman's strong outing, Mancini in the record book

Gausman's strong outing, Mancini in the record book
CHICAGO - Last night was Kevin Gausman's 116th career start for the Orioles and there have likely been few, if any, where he had better raw stuff. Gausman has been averaging getting swings and misses on 11 percent of his pitches this year and last night he got that on 23.5 percent. His fastball averaged 94.4 mph and topped out at a season-best 99 mph. He got swings and misses on 17 of 41 split-finger fastballs. It was dominant stuff. But he only got a no-decision, as the White Sox rallied to...

O's lose late lead and fall 3-2 to Chicago (postgame quotes added)

O's lose late lead and fall 3-2 to Chicago (postgame quotes added)
CHICAGO - Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman had an outing where he was dominant at times, but it didn't lead to a win tonight. The Chicago White Sox came back with three runs in the last of the eighth to beat the Orioles 3-2. The Orioles have scored just five runs in this series and 18 in the last seven games as they fall to 15-33 overall and 5-20 on the road. They failed to win two straight road games for what would have been just the second time on the year. Leading 2-0, reliever Mychal...

Showalter pregame on Britton, O'Day and OF assists (game update)

Showalter pregame on Britton, O'Day and OF assists (game update)
CHICAGO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter was a keenly interested observer today when closer Zach Britton threw 20 pitches in a one-inning simulated game at Gauranteed Rate Field this afternoon. The skipper liked what he saw. "Went real well," Showalter said. "That was as good as I've seen him. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was ready to go." Britton is scheduled to throw a two-inning sim game on Saturday. That would be in Florida at extended spring training, unless there is a...

Zach Britton on his simulated game today
CHICAGO - It won't be much longer now for Orioles closer Zach Britton. He is scheduled to pitch in a game for Triple-A Norfolk and begin a rehab assignment on May 30 with the Tides. That is the last stop on a long road that is leading him back to beginning his season with the Orioles. The right Achilles surgery of December is much further in his rear-view mirror now, and today he threw a one-inning simulated game, here at Gauranteed Rate Field. He threw 20 pitches and has a two-inning game...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman faces Chicago in Game 2 of series
CHICAGO - The Orioles have won back-to-back games on the road just once this year when they did so April 5-6 at Yankee Stadium. A win tonight over the White Sox in Chicago would give them two straight road wins. The Orioles (15-32) are 5-19 on the road, 1-6 in seven road series and 7-5 over their past 12 games. Manny Machado hit his 15th home run last night. He is tied for the Major League lead with Boston's Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez. He leads the big leagues with 43 RBIs. Machado has hit...

The Orioles bullpen and outfield defense came up big in win

The Orioles bullpen and outfield defense came up big in win
CHICAGO - The Orioles are now 3-23 when scoring three runs or fewer. Their third such win came by a 3-2 score at Chicago last night. The bullpen, the defense and the longball came together to produce the victory. Right-hander Andrew Cashner again had some issues facing a lineup for the third time, and the White Sox started the sixth against him with a double, single and RBI double to cut a 3-1 O's lead to 3-2. Enter Mychal Givens, who continued the run of fine work he's been enjoying lately....

Longball, clutch relief help O's beat White Sox 3-2 (quotes added)

Longball, clutch relief help O's beat White Sox 3-2 (quotes added)
CHICAGO - Manny Machado homered and later was intentionally walked with no one on base. Trey Mancini had two outfield assists in one inning. But Mychal Givens may have had the most impressive night of all. The righty reliever came on with the Orioles leading 3-2 and runners on second and third with no outs in the home sixth. He kept the lead, getting a popup and two strikeouts on 97 mph fastballs. That relief outing and three solo homers led the Orioles past the Chicago White Sox 3-2 in front...

Chris Davis remains in lineup, plus other notes (game update)
CHICAGO - After he went 1-for-12 with eight strikeouts in the first three games of the Boston series, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis didn't start Sunday against Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Davis got a "reset" in late April when he sat out two games, but manager Buck Showalter said today that is not going to happen this time. Davis is staying in the lineup for now. "No, we've done that (a reset)," he said. "Came back and played pretty well. Lot of confidence that Chris will figure...

Manny Machado greeted by media horde in Chicago

Manny Machado greeted by media horde in Chicago
CHICAGO - "Welcome to Chicago," said a local reporter to Orioles shortstop Manny Machado this afternoon. As Machado walked outside the clubhouse and into a hallway, he saw a group of more than 20 reporters waiting for him. It was time for another round of questions about rumors and where he might play next year - or even later this year. He faced just a few reporters when the Orioles were in Anaheim. He faced a few dozen today. Machado was asked how he handles the rumors that he could be...

CHICAGO - The Orioles begin a four-game series tonight at Gauranteed Rate Field versus the Chicago White Sox. The O's went 1-3 in Boston, the first stop on a three-city, 11-game road trip. It rained steadily earlier this afternoon in Chicago, but there was almost no rain as game time approaches and they should get the game in with an on-time start. The Orioles lost 5-0 on Sunday at Boston when they got 13 hits but no runs, setting a club record for most hits without scoring in a nine-inning...

It's time to take a longer look at David Hess

It's time to take a longer look at David Hess
He may have allowed five runs and three homers in 4 2/3 innings Sunday at Fenway Park, but here is one vote for right-hander David Hess to stay in the Orioles' rotation. He has gotten two big challenges to start his career. The first was making his MLB debut on three days' rest and overcoming allowing a three-run homer in the first. The second was facing Boston on the road on seven days' rest. Now maybe the Orioles will let the kid settle into an every five-day schedule, give him at least...

O's game blog: David Hess starts as O's look for series split
Right-hander David Hess (1-0, 4.50 ERA) will make his second major league start this afternoon when the Orioles end a four-game series at Boston. They'll need a victory today to split this four-game series that is the start of an 11-game road trip. Hess made his big league debut on three days' rest and he'll pitch today on seven days' rest. A week ago yesterday, he got the win over Tampa Bay in Game 1 of a doubleheader in Baltimore. Over six innings, he allowed six hits and three runs with...

Jace Peterson on his connection to a former Oriole

Jace Peterson on his connection to a former Oriole
When the Orioles put in a waiver claim on Jace Peterson on April 24, they added a versatile lefty bat who had been waived by the New York Yankees. Since opening day, Peterson had been called up by the Yankees, designated for assignment by New York, re-signed by the Yankees, designated for assignment again and claimed on waivers by the Orioles. All of that happened in a 16-day span. It was, as he called it, a "wild ride." As he was hoping to settle in with his new team he knew who to call for...

O's game blog: It's Bundy against Porcello at Fenway Park
After losing 6-2 on Thursday night and winning 7-4 last night, the Orioles play the third game of a four-game series tonight versus Boston at Fenway Park. Over the last four games the Orioles offense has produced 17, one, two and seven runs. Last night, Baltimore used a four-run fourth inning to break a 1-1 tie and take the lead for good. In that inning Adam Jones and Manny Machado hit two-out, two-run singles. Later, Jonathan Schoop hit his fourth homer off a Steven Wright knuckleball. Over...

Chance Sisco's insights on David Hess and other notes

Chance Sisco's insights on David Hess and other notes
When David Hess made his major league debut and won it a week ago today in Baltimore, he had a very familiar catcher. He had worked with Chance Sisco at Single-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie. Then manager Buck Showalter paired the two rookies together against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hess allowed a three-run homer to Matt Duffy in the top of the first. Then he pitched shutout ball from the second through the sixth to get a 6-3 victory in the opener of a doubleheader. It was an impressive debut as...
