Another night when a lack of runs leads to a loss

Another night when a lack of runs leads to a loss
Just when you think the Orioles offense has to start putting up some runs, they don't. Now of course, they faced Max Scherzer last night, and he fanned 12 over eight scoreless in the Washington Nationals' 2-0 victory. But the Orioles scored only two runs on 20 hits in the series and were shut out twice They have now been shut out six times this season, including three times in their last 11 games. The Orioles went 1-for-10 during the Washington series when batting with runners in scoring...

Chris Davis on trying to find positives, David Hess on his start

Chris Davis on trying to find positives, David Hess on his start
Tonight, they faced one of the best in the business, but it hasn't always been that way. Tonight, Max Scherzer fanned 12 Orioles as Washington beat the Orioles 2-0 in front of 20,370 at Oriole Park as the Nationals swept the three-game series. First baseman Chris Davis talked about losing to such a good pitcher: "They don't just hand out Cy Youngs and I think he's got a few of them." But for the Orioles offense, this was yet another quiet night. They were shut out for the sixth time and...

Max Scherzer fans 12 as Nationals win to sweep series
Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer came in on a roll and left that way. Scherzer fanned 12 tonight as the Nationals beat the Orioles 2-0 to sweep the series at Camden Yards. Orioles right-hander David Hess gave up just one run, but took the loss. The Nationals improved to 32-22 and complete just their second three-game sweep of the Orioles since moving to Washington in 2005. The first was from June 12-14, 2007 at Oriole Park. The Nats have won a team-record 10 straight road...

O's game blog: Hess against Scherzer in series finale

O's game blog: Hess against Scherzer in series finale
After taking the first two games of this series by 6-0 and 3-2 scores, the Washington Nationals can complete a three-game sweep of the Orioles tonight. The last and only Nats' three-game sweep in Baltimore was June 12-14, 2007. Coming into this series, the Orioles were 15-7 at home versus Washington since the 2013 season. Coming into the series, the Orioles were 7-4 in their previous 11 home games this year, but they've scored just two runs on 16 hits and have gone 1-for-8 with runners in...

Jace Peterson on batting leadoff and facing Max Scherzer

Jace Peterson on batting leadoff and facing Max Scherzer
Third baseman Jace Peterson tonight will become the seventh different Orioles hitter to bat leadoff this year. And by the way, it's only three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals that he has to face. Trey Mancini has hit leadoff 43 times, Chris Davis five times, Craig Gentry three times, Tim Beckham twice, and once each for Jonathan Schoop and Joey Rickard. Peterson, hitting .178/.310/.274 with five doubles, a triple, no homers and nine RBIs over 27 games, now...

Britton on trade talk, Mancini on his struggles and more

Britton on trade talk, Mancini on his struggles and more
When Orioles closer Zach Britton pitches for a minor league affiliate tonight, it will be his first game action this year, and first since his December Achilles surgery. It will be a nice step forward for Britton. But Britton also knows that while it will be a big step toward his return to the Orioles, it could also lead to his being traded by the Orioles at some point this summer. The players see the reality of the situation. They understand as they look around their clubhouse these days, some...

Manny Machado and Bryce Harper homer as Nats win (with quotes)

Manny Machado and Bryce Harper homer as Nats win (with quotes)
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy was not as sharp as he was for a complete-game win in Chicago, but he still delivered his team-leading seventh quality start. But with the Orioles offense still not doing much, he wound up with another loss tonight. Washington right-hander Jeremy Hellickson held the Orioles to two runs over five innings and then four bullpen pitchers locked down the win as the Nationals beat the Orioles 3-2 at Camden Yards. The Nationals, who have not won a season series since...

After his "toughest two weeks" in the majors, Mancini looks to get bat going

After his "toughest two weeks" in the majors, Mancini looks to get bat going
With his decreasing average causing his frustrations to increase, Orioles left fielder Trey Mancini is getting a day off today, at least at the beginning of the game. He is not in tonight's starting lineup. After going 1-for-13 over the weekend versus Tampa Bay, Mancini went 0-for-4 and hit into a pair of double plays in last night's 6-0 loss to Washington. He is batting .118 (6-for-51) over the past 13 games. Mancini is well-known for being hard on himself and that was apparent again during...

O's bats silent again in 6-0 loss to Nats (quotes added)
When a pitcher on a roll met struggling hitters today, maybe we should have known what to expect. Not much changed as Washington lefty Gio Gonzalez continued his strong season and pitched his team to a 6-0 victory over the Orioles this afternoon in front of 36,139 at Camden Yards. The Orioles have scored just six runs their last four games and 21 in the last nine. They have scored three or fewer runs in nine of their past 10 games. Today they were shut out for the second time in nine...

Showalter on O's RISP stats, plus a game update
Manager Buck Showalter spent some of his pregame press conference this morning talking about his team's stats when hitting with runners in scoring position. The 2018 Orioles are lagging behind the 2017 Orioles. After going 4-for-17 with RISP over the weekend at Tropicana Field, the Orioles are batting .241 with RISP to rank 11th in the American League. Last year, the Orioles were second batting .287, trailing only Houston at .294. "It kind of reflects bad on all us," Showalter said. "It is...

Showalter pregame on Mancini's struggles, Memorial Day and more
Manager Buck Showalter has dropped Trey Mancini from first to sixth in the batting order for today's series opener with the Washington Nationals. Mancini went 1-for-13 in the Tampa Bay series and his average has dropped to .240, which is its lowest point since April 8. "Give him a little blow up there," Showalter said. "He's going through an uncharacteristic period. Trey's one of those guys that always seems like if he doesn't swing the bat well on a given night, it doesn't carry over...

O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces Nats in series opener
When the Orioles begin an interleague series this afternoon against the Washington Nationals, right-hander Alex Cobb (1-6, 7.32 ERA) will be on the mound. He will be looking to bounce back from a poor outing Wednesday night in Chicago. Cobb retired the first seven batters in that game, but was gone before the end of the home fourth. Over 3 2/3 innings, he allowed eight hits and six runs, and gave up a three-run homer to Yoán Moncada on a curveball. The Orioles are 1-7 in Cobb's 2018 starts....

A look at the O's and Nats, another strong Akin outing and more
The Orioles are a better team at home than on the road, and they return to Oriole Park this afternoon to face the Washington Nationals to start a seven-game homestand, that will also see the Yankees come to town beginning Thursday night. Entering play as of Sunday, the Orioles were tied with the Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins for the fewest home games played in the American League at 23. The Orioles are 10-13 (.435) at home and 7-23 (.233) on the road. The Orioles are 3-5 in eight home...

More on the struggling offense, plus minor league notes
The Orioles' up-and-down offense has certainly had many more downs than ups in the 2018 season. In the series finale in Chicago on Thursday afternoon, the Orioles scored nine runs in the first three innings. They have scored three runs in 24 innings since. They lost 5-1 to Tampa Bay on Saturday afternoon to fall to 17-35 overall and to 7-22 on the road. They are 4-6 on an 11-game road trip that ends today before they return home to face the Washington Nationals starting Monday. Chris Davis...

As Cashner takes mound today, third time through has been a challenge
The problems in navigating a lineup the third time through the order resurfaced for Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner in Chicago on Monday night. Cashner will look for improvement this afternoon when he faces the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg. Cashner threw four scoreless innings to begin his night Monday, but was knocked from the game during the sixth. As the lineup turned over, Cashner issued a walk and five straight hits over the fifth and sixth innings. For the season, Cashner allows a...
