Tillman on his outing, Sisco on three caught stealing

Tillman on his outing, Sisco on three caught stealing
After pitching to an ERA of 11.91 with a WHIP of 2.824 through three starts, right-hander Chris Tillman needed to pitch better in a hurry. He did today but the Orioles were blanked on two hits by Cleveland's Mike Clevinger in a 4-0 loss that drops them to 6-15. They've lost nine of 11 and have been held to three runs or fewer 14 times in 21 games. Tillman gave up three solo homers in pitching a season-high six innings. He allowed eight hits and four runs with a walk and five strikeouts on 83...

Cleveland blanks the Orioles 4-0 behind Mike Clevinger

Cleveland blanks the Orioles 4-0 behind Mike Clevinger
Granted the bar had not been set very high, but Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman had his best start of the year this afternoon. But Cleveland right-hander Mike Clevinger pitched better. Clevinger pitched a complete-game two-hitter, as the Tribe beat the Orioles 4-0. He walked two and fanned three to improve to 2-0 with an ERA of 1.75. Clevinger threw 107 pitches, 70 or strikes. The Orioles fall to 6-15 for the season, have lost seven of eight and nine of their past 11 games. Cleveland is...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Cleveland at Camden Yards

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Cleveland at Camden Yards
The Orioles have won back-to-back games just once this season. They beat the Yankees on April 5-6 at Yankee Stadium. A win today over Cleveland and they would double that total. The Orioles (6-14) host Cleveland (9-8) at Camden Yards in Game 2 of a four-game series and 10-game homestand. Baltimore won 3-1 last night behind right-hander Dylan Bundy. Today, Chris Tillman is set to make his fourth start. The right-hander has faced three teams that made the playoffs last season in his first three...

Left-hander Tanner Scott on rejoining the Orioles

Left-hander Tanner Scott on rejoining the Orioles
We often hear Orioles manager Buck Showalter say that for a pitcher sometimes less is more. He is usually referencing velocity with that comment. That seems to be the case right now for left-hander Tanner Scott, who was recalled to the big leagues for the second time this season yesterday. Scott has a fastball that can touch 100 mph and did last year in the big leagues, when he got into two games in September. He made his big league debut Sept. 20 vs. Boston and his first two major league...

Notes on ending two losing streaks, Bundy's slider and more

Notes on ending two losing streaks, Bundy's slider and more
So the Orioles got a much-needed win over a good team with Friday's 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. They ended an 11-game losing streak. Yes, I know they had lost their previous six games. But they had also lost their previous 11 games when scoring three runs or fewer. The Orioles were 1-11 on the year in such games. The only previous win was opening day, 3-2 over Minnesota. It had to be nice for the team and its fans to get a win and at least a small glimmer of hope that they might...

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

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)
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.

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
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...

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...
