Will poor play from the road carry over as long homestand begins?

Will poor play from the road carry over as long homestand begins?
DETROIT - When the Orioles' road trip to Boston and Detroit started a week ago tonight, the club was three games under .500. After going 0-6 the team comes home reeling at 5-14. The players keep insisting they are better than this and it will turn. The fans are wondering when that will happen. Meanwhile, the team has dug itself a huge early hole. They might never climb back to .500 again this year. They were at .500 or better for just the first two days of the season. The trip started with...

Showalter, Cobb, Machado and Jones after the O's fall to 5-14

Showalter, Cobb, Machado and Jones after the O's fall to 5-14
DETROIT - As the Orioles leave behind Detroit and an 0-6 road trip, they'll head home with one of baseball's worst records at 5-14. There is a lot to fix. Over the next few weeks we'll find out if they can fix it and if they haven't buried themselves too far within the first three weeks of a new season. In today's 13-8 loss to Detroit, right-hander Alex Cobb struggled again. He is not yet the pitcher the Orioles expected, and his late start to spring training clearly has been...

Swept away in Detroit: Cobb takes loss as Tigers win third straight
DETROIT - The Orioles were swept away in Motown in blowout fashion this afternoon. Right-hander Alex Cobb got knocked out in the fourth inning in his second start for the team as Detroit routed the Orioles 13-8 to complete a three-game sweep. The Orioles went 0-6 on this road trip to Boston and Detroit and were outscored 43-22. They came to Detroit hoping to win a series against a team that began this three-game set with five straight losses, a 1-5 home record and a 4-9 mark overall. Instead,...

Pregame notes on Britton, the roster and more (O's lose 13-8)

Pregame notes on Britton, the roster and more (O's lose 13-8)
DETROIT - Orioles closer Zach Britton will take another important step tomorrow in his rehab from his right Achilles surgery in December. Britton will throw off a half mound at Camden Yards. It's his first time on a mound since the surgery. "That's a good step for us," manager Buck Showalter said before today's game. "Do that a couple of times, and if that goes well then proceed to the (full) mound. He's excited about putting his foot on the rubber on the mound. That's a good step and...

O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces Detroit in series finale
DETROIT - If the Orioles lose to the Detroit Tigers this afternoon, they will have a winless road trip, going 0-6. They've not been swept in a three-game series at Detroit since July 5-7, 2010. The Orioles have fallen to 5-13 overall, 3-9 on the road, and have lost seven of their last eight games. They are trying to snap their second five-game losing streak today. Detroit began this series with five straight losses and a mark of 4-9 overall and 1-5 at home. But the Tigers have posted 4-2 and...

Trying to find something to build on after a brutal loss

Trying to find something to build on after a brutal loss
DETROIT - If you were managing the Orioles right now and your team was so desperate for wins, taking some positives from a brutal loss would probably not be a bad strategy. Buck Showalter was looking to at least do some of that after Wednesday's 6-5 walk-off loss at Comerica Park. The Orioles came back with late offense, but so did Detroit. Backup catcher John Hicks hit a three-run homer off Darren O'Day in the eighth for the Tigers, and Dixon Machado hit a walk-off homer off Pedro Araujo in...

Postgame quotes from Showalter, O'Day and more after loss to Tigers

Postgame quotes from Showalter, O'Day and more after loss to Tigers
DETROIT - Right now the Orioles can't seem to avoid losing. They scored three runs in the top of the eighth to lead 4-2 and then saw Detroit score three in the bottom half to lead 5-4. The Orioles homered to tie it in the ninth. The Tigers homered for the walk-off in the ninth. Dixon Machado's homer on the second pitch of the last of the ninth gave the Tigers the 6-5 walk-off victory. It was his first career walk-off home run. The Orioles finally got some runs and looked headed for a comeback...

O's lose in Detroit on walk-off homer in the ninth
DETROIT - The Orioles came back with late runs. But their bullpen could not keep Detroit from scoring. A wild end to the game featured four runs scored by each team over the last two innings. But when second baseman Dixon Machado homered to left off Pedro Araujo on the second pitch of the last of the ninth, the Tigers produced a 6-5 walk-off win over the Orioles. The Orioles remain winless on their road trip at 0-5. They have lost seven of eight games and are 5-13 for the season. Machado hit...

Showalter pregame on strikeouts and injury updates (O's lose 6-5)

Showalter pregame on strikeouts and injury updates (O's lose 6-5)
DETROIT - The Orioles strike out a lot. That we knew. But their strikeout rate to date is up over 2017. Through Tuesday's games, the Orioles strikeout rate of 28.5 percent is the worst in the major leagues, with the Chicago White Sox next at 27.3 percent and San Diego third at 26.6. Last year the Orioles ranked ninth in the majors with a 23.0 percent strikeout rate. "We'd like to not ever strike out," manager Buck Showalter said during his pregame media session. "If you are getting a...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman faces the Tigers
DETROIT - Just 17 games into a new season, the Orioles need to win this afternoon in Detroit or they will already have their second five-game losing streak of 2018. It has been a miserable road trip for the Orioles. Bad weather and bad baseball. Not a good combo. They are 0-4 in Boston and Detroit and have been outscored 24-9. Since winning a big series at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles are 1-6 and they have scored 16 runs total in that span. The Orioles are already a full 9 1/2 games behind...

Familiar story: O's bats remain dormant in Detroit series opener

Familiar story: O's bats remain dormant in Detroit series opener
DETROIT - The Orioles could not get their offense going in the cold of Fenway Park and they didn't hit much in frigid Comerica Park last night, either. They have now lost six of seven games, scoring a total of 16 runs since they won three of four games at Yankee Stadium. So much for that momentum. The Orioles offense has been offensive, but don't blame the weather, insists outfielder Adam Jones. "Screw the weather. Who cares about the weather?" he said after Tuesday's 4-2 loss. "The...

Buck Showalter and Adam Jones on the loss at Detroit
DETROIT - Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy gives up one earned run in Boston, yet the Orioles lose. Tonight right-hander Andrew Cashner provided his third straight quality start but again the offense didn't get it done. Since the Orioles won that series at Yankee Stadium, they are 1-6 and have scored 16 total runs. Tonight they scored two or less for the eighth time in a 4-2 loss to Detroit at frigid Comerica Park. The Tigers came in having lost five in a row and the Orioles had lost three in...

Orioles offense comes up short again in series-opening loss
DETROIT - The story was familiar again tonight for the Orioles. On a night where they got some solid starting pitching, again their offense did little to support that. The Detroit Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-2 win at frigid Comerica Park. The Orioles fall to 5-12. They have lost four in a row and six of their last seven. They are 3-8 on the road. Right-handers Dylan Bundy and Andrew Cashner have made a combined eight starts this year with six quality starts, yet the...

Sardiñas on joining the Orioles, Givens on early struggles
DETROIT - The newest Orioles player joined the team today and was inserted right into the starting lineup. Venezuelan-born infielder Luis Sardiñas had his contracted selected from Triple-A Norfolk and he was added to the 40-man roster which is now full. Pitcher David Hess was optioned back to Norfolk Monday which left the active roster at 24 before Sardiñas was added. A 24-year-old switch-hitter, Sardiñas has played in 174 major league games for four teams since 2014, batting...

As Orioles struggle, lefty Richard Bleier is thriving yet again

As Orioles struggle, lefty Richard Bleier is thriving yet again
Can a pitcher who doesn't throw very hard or strike out many batters succeed in the major leagues? Orioles reliever Richard Bleier is sure making it work yet again this season. The lefty, who turned 31 yesterday, went 2-1 with a 1.99 ERA in 2017. It was a pretty strong first season as an Oriole. So far this year, he has allowed 10 hits and one run for an ERA of 0.75 over 12 innings. Bleier features a heavy dose of sinkers and sliders and pitches often at 88 and 89 mph. Last year, he averaged...

Looking at Delmarva's hot start and the Orioles' cold offense

Looking at Delmarva's hot start and the Orioles' cold offense
During an 8-2 start, the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds pitching staff has been outstanding. Especially Delmarva's six-man rotation, which has seen its starters allow two earned runs or less nine time in 10 games. The Shorebirds have seven pitchers on starters' schedules in a six-man rotation. Right-hander Michael Baumann started opening day and was followed by Cameron Bishop, Matthias Dietz, Brenan Hanifee, Zac Lowther and 2017 top draft pick DL Hall. Gray Fenter pitches in relief after...

O's game blog: It's Dylan Bundy against Chris Sale at Fenway Park
The Orioles have been outscored 17-6 in the first two games of their series at Fenway Park in Boston. Today in frigid conditions, they'll send right-hander Dylan Bundy (0-1, 1.35 ERA) to the mound in search of victory. At 5-10, the Orioles are off to their worst 15-game start since the 2010 team began the season 2-13. The Orioles have lost five in a row to Boston, dating to last season. The Red Sox are 12-2, the best record they've ever had at this point in the year in their 118-year history....

A look at two rough days for the O's at Fenway Park

A look at two rough days for the O's at Fenway Park
The Orioles have been outhit, outplayed and outclassed the first two days in Boston. They've lost by scores of 7-3 and 10-3, and their starting pitchers allowed 17 hits and 14 runs over 5 2/3 innings. Their run total of three was matched by their errors total of three on Saturday. Not a formula for success at Fenway Park - or anywhere for that matter. Right-hander Alex Cobb figures to pitch pretty well for the club, but his first start for the Orioles was about as rocky as it gets. Cobb was...
