O's game blog: Dylan Bundy pitches Tampa Bay series finale

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy pitches Tampa Bay series finale
The Orioles split a doubleheader with Tampa Bay on Saturday and have taken two of three in this series. As the teams meet in the series finale today, a win by the Orioles would give them two straight series wins for the first time in 2018. The Orioles took the opener 6-3 yesterday behind right-hander David Hess. They lost the nightcap 10-3 as their pitchers allowed 12 hits and seven walks. The Orioles gave up 10 or more runs for the seventh time. In the second game, Baltimore (12-28) saw a...

David Hess led three homegrown pitchers to a win Saturday

David Hess led three homegrown pitchers to a win Saturday
In Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, the Orioles used three homegrown pitchers to beat the Tampa Bay Rays with right-hander David Hess getting his first major league chance and making the most of it. Even though he was pitching on three days' rest, and even though he gave up a three-run homer to Rays' Matt Duffy in the first inning, Hess didn't buckle under any pressure and he showed some talent and poise out there. It was a day that Hess (round 5, 2014), Tanner Scott (round 6, 2014) and...

Hess wins his major league debut as O's beat the Rays (quotes added)
Making his major league debut today, Orioles right-hander David Hess gave up a three-run homer to the fourth batter he faced. It got better for him after that. A lot better. Hess pitched scoreless ball from the second through the sixth today to get the win as the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 6-3 for their fourth consecutive victory. They are 4-1 on this homestand and 12-27 for the season. The Rays have lost five straight and eight of 11. Hess got Denard Span to fly out to start his day. But two...

Right-hander David Hess will make his major league debut this afternoon as the Orioles host Tampa Bay in Game 1 of a single-admission doubleheader. The Orioles (11-27) beat the Rays 11-6 last night as Manny Machado hit a grand slam, homered twice and drove in six runs. The Orioles have their first three-game win streak of the season and have outscored their opponents 25-13 in those games. The Orioles have scored 32 runs with 47 hits and hit 11 home runs in the four games on this homestand. In...

Machado's postgame props for Coolbaugh and other notes

Machado's postgame props for Coolbaugh and other notes
After Manny Machado had a huge game with two homers and six RBIs in a win over Tampa Bay last night, he took time to throw some props to his hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh. Machado said this during a live interview on MASN: "Working with Coolbaugh has been the key to the success this year. Going in the cage and doing my routine every day. Coolbaugh gave me the approach that I need. Staying on top of me every day and trying to stay with a routine. With him helping me out every day it's paying...

Manny Machado on his big night and his 150th homer

Manny Machado on his big night and his 150th homer
With two home runs tonight, Orioles shortstop Manny Machado became the youngest player in Baltimore Orioles team history to hit 150 home runs. He drove in six runs in a 9-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He connected for a two-run shot in the first and that was No. 149. He hit a grand slam in the seventh for an 8-1 lead and that was No. 150. "It is a great accomplishment," Machado said. "Beyond grateful. Words can't even describe how exciting that is in reaching that milestone. Doing it with...

Manny Machado with a grand slam and six-RBI night in O's win
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman once again gave his team a strong start, but shortstop Manny Machado will grab the headlines tonight. Machado hit a two-run homer in the first to give Gausman an early lead. Then he hammered a grand slam in the seventh to help the Orioles pull away for a 9-4 win over Tampa Bay in the series opener. The Orioles are 11-27 and have a three-game winning streak, their first since they won seven in a row from Aug. 23-30 of last season. Machado hit his 11th and 12th...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman starts series opener against Tampa
Perhaps energized by a series win over Kansas City where they scored 23 runs on 37 hits and hit seven home runs, the Orioles host Tampa Bay tonight. It's the start of a three-day, four-game series that includes Saturday's single-admission doubleheader. The O's are 10-27 after last night's 11-6 win. They fell behind 6-3 in the second and then scored the game's final eight runs. The Orioles went 6-for-7 with runners in scoring position last night after going 3-for-7 on Wednesday. They went...

Tanner Scott on his strong outing last night

Tanner Scott on his strong outing last night
Orioles lefty reliever Tanner Scott has now made six big league appearances since his first call to the majors last September. It is safe to say the best of those was last night. Pitching the seventh and eighth against Kansas City, he put up two zeroes and fanned a career-high four batters. He threw 31 pitches, 24 for strikes and got eight swings and misses. His fastball averaged 98 mph, getting swings and misses on four of 20 pitches. His slider, which averaged 90 mph, garnered four swings and...

Notes and quotes from a win in the K.C. series finale

Notes and quotes from a win in the K.C. series finale
After the third Chris Tillman start of two innings or less this season, last night, right-hander Miguel Castro came to the rescue of the Orioles pitching staff. Castro came in with the Orioles down 6-3 in the second inning and pitched long enough and well enough for the Orioles to score eight unanswered runs and win 11-6 to take the series over Kansas City. Castro pitched 4 2/3 innings, the second longest outing of his career, and gave up no runs on four hits on 65 pitches. "I just went out...

Tillman on his struggles, Castro his outing and Mancini the offense
The Orioles overcame another short start by Chris Tillman tonight. He allowed four hits and six runs in 1 1/3 and allowed a Salvador Perez first-inning grand slam. Yet the Orioles rallied for an 11-6 win over Kansas City to take a series for just the third time in 2018. Tillman gave up sevens runs in an inning-plus in his start before this one against the Los Angeles Angels. Tonight, his ERA rose to 10.46. Over his past two games he's pitched 2 1/3 innings, allowing 11 hits and 13 runs (12...

Chris Tillman struggles, but offense produces 11-6 O's victory
On a night when right-hander Chris Tillman struggled badly again, the Orioles offense overcame an early hole and continued to show signs of potentially better times ahead for the batters. Down 4-0 after the top of the first, the Orioles hit three homers tonight as they rallied to beat Kansas City 11-6, to win the series at Oriole Park. The Orioles improved to 10-27 overall, 7-11 at home and to 3-9 in 12 series. They won for just the sixth time in the last 27 games. The Orioles have their second...

The Orioles have just two series wins in 2018, going 2-9 in 11 series. They can win a third series tonight as they play the rubber match of a three-game series with Kansas City. The O's previous two series victories came when they took three of four April 5-8 at New York and they won two of three April 27-29 versus Detroit.

Richard Bleier gets few strikeouts but plenty of outs in the 'pen

Richard Bleier gets few strikeouts but plenty of outs in the 'pen
At a time when many pitchers are impressive for their premium velocity and/or strikeout rates, Orioles reliever Richard Bleier is thriving without either. Throwing an 88 mph fastball and sinker, he's again getting a lot of groundouts and he's again putting together a great year out of the Orioles bullpen. Last season he went 2-1 with a 1.99 ERA and averaged 3.7 strikeouts per nine innings. This season he is 3-0 with a 0.40 ERA and a 4.0 strikeout rate rate. He got the win last night and has...

With Britton and O'Day out, Brach and Bleier come up big for the 'pen
Manny Machado has been the best player on the Orioles this year. There is little debate over that one. But left-hander Richard Bleier has been the best Orioles pitcher, and there probably isn't much debate there, either. He pitched two scoreless last night when called on during the seventh inning of a 3-3 tie. He got two double plays and all six outs on grounders. He got the win against the Royals and is now 3-0 with a 0.40 ERA. Bleier has allowed one run in 22 2/3 innings for the season, and...

Postgame comments from Brach, Trumbo and Cashner after O's win

Postgame comments from Brach, Trumbo and Cashner after O's win
It was a night when a few struggling or oft-criticized Orioles came through in a 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. First baseman Chris Davis hit a three-run homer. Mark Trumbo's two-run single in the eighth broke a 3-3 tie and Brad Brach closed out the win, pitching around a leadoff walk and error in the ninth. Brach's ERA was up to 5.40 when he took the mound with that two-run lead. He walked Whit Merrifield, and Jonathan Schoop dropped a throw at second base that could have led to a...

Mark Trumbo's two-run single in the eighth lifts O's to win
With a team batting average of just .220 with runners in scoring position, the Orioles have come up short in a few clutch spots this year. But tonight Mark Trumbo delivered a key two-run single in the eighth as the Orioles beat Kansas City. In his eighth game since coming off the disabled list, Trumbo's two-out, two-run single to center broke a 3-3 tie as the Orioles beat the Royals 5-3 to snap a seven-game losing streak. With the win the Orioles are 9-27 and won for just the second time in 10...

O's game blog: O's try to end losing streak versus K.C.
As the Orioles (8-27) look to break a seven-game losing streak tonight, they host the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a three-game series and nine-game homestand. Right-hander Andrew Cashner (1-4, 4.89) will make his eighth start and fifth at home. Cashner went 1-1 with a 2.50 ERA over his first three starts, but over his past four he is 0-3 with a 6.97 ERA. He's allowed 28 hits and five homers over 20 2/3 in those games. Many of Cashner's stats come up short from his 2017...

Catcher Caleb Joseph on Dylan Bundy's recent struggles

Catcher Caleb Joseph on Dylan Bundy's recent struggles
So how could Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy pitch so well over his first five starts and so poorly over his last three? It hopefully for him reached rock bottom last night when he faced seven hitters and gave up five hits, two walks and four homers in falling behind 7-0, without getting an out. Bundy is the first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to allow four or more homers without recording an out. The Royals tied their club record for most homers in one inning. They went on to score...
