That was wild: A few takes on the O's 14-inning win in the Bronx

That was wild: A few takes on the O's 14-inning win in the Bronx
Some days there is no reason to complain that a lot of the Orioles offense comes from the longball. Like last night, when they hit four homers in the marathon 7-3 win over the Yankees in 14 innings. All of last year the Orioles won two games at Yankee Stadium. This year they have two wins there nine days into the season. Manny Machado hit two solo homers - both shots over 400 feet - for his first two homers of the season. It was his 15th career multi-homer game and he went 4-for-5. Chris Davis...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman looks for bounceback game in NY

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman looks for bounceback game in NY
Right-hander Kevin Gausman (0-1, 13.50 ERA) makes his second start of the new season tonight when the Orioles play the Yankees in New York. It's Game 2 of a four-game series. Gausman's 2018 season got off to a poor start on Sunday at home against Minnesota. He gave up a homer on the game's first pitch and allowed three home runs in the first three innings. For the game, he went four innings, allowing seven hits and six runs. He walked two and fanned five. Gausman, who averaged 95.3 mph on...

There were a lot of heroes in a series-opening win at New York

There were a lot of heroes in a series-opening win at New York
For the third day in a row, the game hung in the balance versus a 2017 playoff team in the seventh inning. This time, the Orioles got the biggest hits and they beat the New York Yankees 5-2 in the Bronx to start a four-game series. It is probably not overstating it to call that win huge. The offense came to life in the seventh inning and the pitchers held the potent Yankees lineup in check. Considering that last year the Yankees, as a team, batted .337 and hit 32 homers in 10 home games versus...

The clubs will play a four-game series through Sunday. The Yankees, who open with 13 straight within the AL East, are 4-2.

Schoop and Bundy are going well, but need some help
The Orioles lost 6-1 at Houston on Monday night and that one was a pretty comfortable win for the defending World Series champs. The Orioles put up big challenges against Houston the last two games, but they failed to win. On Tuesday night, the score was tied 5-5 in the last of the seventh before Houston scored five that inning and won 10-6. Yesterday's game was tied 2-2 in the seventh before the Astros got the go-ahead run in the seventh to win 3-2. The Orioles offense may be finally coming...

Wrapping up a series sweep from Houston

Wrapping up a series sweep from Houston
HOUSTON - The defending World Series champs got the big hit when they needed it most and the Orioles did not. That was a key difference today, and during this series, as Houston beat the Orioles 3-2 this afternoon to sweep the three-game series at Minute Maid Park. The Orioles fall to 1-5 as they head to Yankee Stadium. Their stretch of playing 10 straight against 2017 playoff teams to begin the new season will continue Thursday night. Today, they went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position....

Orioles fall 3-2 to Houston, get swept in three-game series

Orioles fall 3-2 to Houston, get swept in three-game series
HOUSTON - The Orioles were hoping opening day starter Dylan Bundy could give them a big effort today and take them deep into the game. If he could, they might leave Houston with at least one win. Bundy pitched well and through the sixth inning. But as they did all series, the Astros came up with offense when they needed it. They pushed across a run against reliever Miguel Castro in the last of the seventh to snap a 2-2 tie and pick up a 3-2 win. Houston (6-1) sweeps the three-game series. It's...

Showalter's props for Rasmus and a game update

Showalter's props for Rasmus and a game update
HOUSTON - Outfielder Colby Rasmus has not gotten off to a hot hitting start for the Orioles. He has a lot of company in that regard. He is 1-for-13 and has struck out eight times. This after he hit .281/.318/.579 in 37 games with Tampa Bay in 2017 with nine homers and 23 RBIs. He figures to see a lot of time in right field this season, but is not starting today versus the Houston lefty Dallas Keuchel. But it's clear that Houston fans like Rasmus. He played here in 2015 and 2016 and got a real...

Showalter pregame on the lineup decisions and Rule 5 pitchers

Showalter pregame on the lineup decisions and Rule 5 pitchers
HOUSTON - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is not in the starting lineup today against Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel. Davis is 1-for-8 in this series and 1-for-20 (.050) with no homers or RBIs on the season. He was 0-for-5 last night with four strikeouts after having struck out just once in the season's first four games. Manager Buck Showalter said Davis is fine physically after he dealt with a right forearm/elbow issue during spring training. So just a day off for Davis? "For the most...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy on the mound in Houston
HOUSTON - The Orioles' road trip has begun with back-to-back losses here. They need a win this afternoon at Minute Maid Park to avoid getting swept before the trip moves on to Yankee Stadium. Opening day starter Dylan Bundy returns to the mound this afternoon, pitching with an extra day of rest. Against the Twins on Thursday, Bundy threw seven scoreless innings in a no-decision. The Orioles won in 11 innings on Adam Jones' walk-off home run. Bundy gave up just five singles in the opener. He...

Outing in Houston provides Wright something to build on

Outing in Houston provides Wright something to build on
HOUSTON - Orioles right-hander Mike Wright Jr. was making his first start for the club since June 17, 2016. Taking the mound with a career ERA of 6.32 in 21 previous major league starts, the expectations were not exactly high among some in Birdland as Wright prepared to face the defending World Series champs. But when Mychal Givens replaced Wright to start the last of the sixth last night, Wright was in line to be the winning pitcher. The winner in a game where the other starter was Justin...

Wrapping up the Orioles' 10-6 loss at Houston
HOUSTON - The Orioles scored as many runs tonight as they had in the previous four games. And right-hander Mike Wright Jr. allowed one fewer run than Justin Verlander. But in the end, the Orioles could not stop the defending World Series champions from doing what they do best - piling up runs. Rule 5 pitchers Pedro Araujo and Nestor Cortes Jr. were put in a very tough spot tonight: facing Houston late in the contest with the game tied. They began the night with a combined three major league...

Houston gets big inning against Rule 5 pitchers for 10-6 win
HOUSTON - Mike Wright Jr. pitched capably and left with a lead. Adam Jones homered and drove in three. The Orioles finally scored off a starting pitcher. But would it add up to a victory? Not tonight for the Orioles. With the game tied 5-5 entering the last of the seventh, Houston scored five times off Rule 5 pitchers Pedro Araujo and Nestor Cortes Jr. to rally for a 10-6 win. The Orioles fall to 1-4 and have lost eight in a row at Minute Maid Park. Houston is 5-1. The Orioles got the lead...

Rasmus gets nice reception in Houston (plus game update)

Rasmus gets nice reception in Houston (plus game update)
HOUSTON - During the 2015 and 2016 seasons, the Houston Astros were becoming a pretty good team. They won 86 games in 2015, won the AL wild card game and advanced to the AL Division Series. They won 84 the next year but missed the playoffs. A key member of the Houston outfield those two seasons was Colby Rasmus, who is starting as the DH for the Orioles tonight. When the Orioles were introduced yesterday, Rasmus got a nice welcome back reception from the fans at Minute Maid Park. "I really...

Showalter pregame on Cobb and Sisco on catching Wright
HOUSTON - Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb it seems will have the most input as to when he makes his debut for the club. Cobb is scheduled to pitch a five-inning simulated game in Florida tomorrow. He has already had outings of three and four innings. Manager Buck Showalter will get the video from that outing and then talk with Cobb after his workday this weekend that follows tomorrow's start. At that point it's time to decide whether Cobb pitches one more time in Florida, going six innings, or...

O's game blog: Wright Jr. faces Verlander in Game 2 in Houston
HOUSTON - As the Orioles offense looks to break out tonight in Houston, the challenge on this Tuesday is vast. They face right-hander Justin Verlander, who has been brilliant since the Astros acquired him in a deal with Detroit last Aug. 31. Verlander made his season debut and got the win Thursday at Texas when he allowed four hits over six scoreless in a 4-1 victory. That night Verlander became the 18th pitcher in major league history to make 10 career opening day starts. That lists includes...

Buck Showalter on the decision to give Dylan Bundy extra rest

Buck Showalter on the decision to give Dylan Bundy extra rest
HOUSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter has had to make several important decisions already, despite the fact that the 2018 season is just four games old. He had to decide whether to bat Chris Davis first and now he has to weigh when and/or if to make any lineup changes for a slumbering offense. But he made an interesting decision involving opening day starter Dylan Bundy. Bundy pitched seven scoreless on Thursday in Baltimore in the opening win over Minnesota. His fifth day to pitch would be...

A look at an ugly three-game losing streak and a beautiful first pitch

A look at an ugly three-game losing streak and a beautiful first pitch
HOUSTON - Unfortunately for the Orioles, a three-game losing streak has truly been a team effort. Has the offense or the starting pitching been worse? They have both been pretty bad and that is why they've been outscored 19-3 in losing the last three games. The O's offense has produced one run the last two games and three runs on 12 hits the past three. During the same span, O's starting pitchers have allowed 15 runs (14 earned) on 20 hits, with seven homers allowed over 13 innings. On top...
