Bundy solid, but offense slowed in 7-1 loss to Toronto

Bundy solid, but offense slowed in 7-1 loss to Toronto
For the third time this season, Orioles starter Dylan Bundy gave his team a strong start. For the third time, he got little run support. The Orioles went 0-for-12 tonight with runners in scoring position in a 7-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. They began a three-game series with the loss to fall to 1-3 at home and to 4-7 for the season. A very chilly but small crowd of 7,915 looked on at Camden Yards. Toronto turned a 2-1 lead into a 7-1 win, scoring five runs in the ninth. Nestor Cortes Jr....

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy pitches Toronto series opener
After a road trip where they went 0-3 at Houston and 3-1 at New York, the Orioles get a brief chance to play a few games at home starting tonight. They'll host Toronto for a three-game series at Camden Yards before they go back on the road. The Orioles produced a couple of wild extra-inning wins at Yankee Stadium to take that series after going 2-8 there last season. Right-hander Dylan Bundy (0-0, 0.69 ERA) makes his third start of the season tonight. Bundy began the year pitching on opening...

Caleb Joseph on Sunday's unexpected heroes and more

Caleb Joseph on Sunday's unexpected heroes and more
It would be one thing for the Orioles to win a big game in Yankee Stadium with the middle of their order doing most of the damage and/or Dylan Bundy or Zach Britton on the mound, but it was quite another on Sunday in the Bronx. The Orioles pulled out the 12-inning, 8-7 win with two Rule picks 5 contributing big in outfielder Anthony Santander and pitcher Pedro Araujo. Backup outfielder Craig Gentry made a game-saving catch in the 10th and later produced the winning single. And there were so...

Brach's great escape was final act as O's win three of four in the Bronx

Brach's great escape was final act as O's win three of four in the Bronx
Of all the crazy things that took place over 4 hours, 48 minutes and 12 innings on Sunday, the most improbable may have been saved for last. Orioles closer Brad Brach - in the span of a few pitches - went from a goat, and potentially blowing a key save, to one of the heroes. All he had to do to achieve that was face Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton with the bases loaded and no outs and his team leading by one. Good luck with that. No place to put them. No chance to pitch around them. Stanton...

Britton on Buck the manager, but not that one (plus other notes)

Britton on Buck the manager, but not that one (plus other notes)
When the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds began a new season on Thursday, the other Buck started his career as a minor league manager. Buck Britton, the older brother of Orioles closer Zach Britton, is the Shorebirds' first-year manager. An O's 35th-round selection in the 2008 draft, Britton had a nine-year playing career in the minors. He moved into the coaching ranks last season when he was Delmarva's hitting coach. In his second year as a non-player, he begins his first as a minor league...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces the Yankees
After recording back-to-back wins for the first time in the 2018 season, the Orioles are shooting for three in a row this afternoon as they face the Yankees in New York. They scored five runs in the seventh inning to win 5-2 Thursday night and they won 7-3 in 14 innings Friday night/Saturday morning. Pedro Álvarez hit a grand slam in the 14th, the Orioles fourth homer of the night. It capped a long night and a wild win. Rule 5 pitcher Pedro Araujo threw two scoreless to get his first major...

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
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 Orioles are about to begin the second leg of their two-city road trip. They got swept three straight at Houston and take a 1-5 record into tonight's series opener in Yankee Stadium. 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
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...

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...
