O's offense still struggling (season ends for Bowie & Frederick)

O's offense still struggling (season ends for Bowie & Frederick)
There is never a good time for a team to hit a cold stretch on offense, but for the Orioles this is really not a good time. They lost 9-1 to the Yankees Thursday and 5-0 and 4-2 to the Indians the past two games. In a three-game losing streak, that is three runs scored on 16 hits and just one homer for the Orioles. There have been very few scoring chances and they are 1-for-8 with runners in scoring postion in those games. They are 71-71 with 20 games left to play. The Orioles are three games...

With latest loss, the Orioles are falling back in the wild card race

With latest loss, the Orioles are falling back in the wild card race
How many times this year has it looked like the Orioles were in big trouble in the standings? Well, the latest is now after the club's 5-0 loss last night in Cleveland. They are facing nine more games on this road trip and now they are three games behind Minnesota for the second American League wild card with 21 games to go. They are 27-40 on the road where they will play 14 of those remaining 21 games. So yeah, it could be looking better and they could be positioned better. The Orioles won...

Tanner Scott starts for Bowie in Game 2 tonight (updated)
BOWIE, Md. - The Double-A Bowie Baysox don't face a must-win situation tonight, but it's pretty close. They need to beat Altoona at Prince George's Stadium or they fall behind two games to none in a best-of-five series. And after this game, the rest of the series will be played at Altoona. Bowie was held to one-hit last night - a Cedric Mullins single in the fourth - in a 2-0 Game 1 loss. Altoona starter Mitch Keller issued two walks and had four strikeouts in a 90-pitch complete-game...

O's minor league notebook includes notes on Hays & Mountcastle
The Single-A Frederick Keys are now one win away from a Carolina League championship. Well, a co-championship any way. The league office announced today the cancellation of the Carolina League Mills Cup championship series with a hurricane on the way. One of the four competing teams, Myrtle Beach, plays in a city that could be evacuated and sometimes real life matters top even baseball. It was a sensible decision. So the league decided that the two winners of the semi-finals series will be...

A dramatic comeback in Frederick and a disappointing loss in Baltimore

A dramatic comeback in Frederick and a disappointing loss in Baltimore
Some baseball games have many twists and turns. For reporters trying to produce a story on the game, key elements of the game and the story keep changing. That was true of last night's Carolina League playoff series opener in Frederick between the Keys and Lynchburg. First the story was Lynchburg's starting pitcher dominating the Keys. But then Frederick changed the script, scored four runs in the seventh and finally got to Lynchburg's Aaron Civale. The Keys led 5-4. But not long after that,...

FREDERICK, Md. - When the Carolina League playoffs begin tonight at Frederick's Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, there is a clear favorite. It's not the home team.

Kendall on Mullins, Hays stacks up, Gausman faces New York
BOWIE, Md. - When the Eastern League playoffs begin tonight as Double-A Bowie hosts Altoona in a best of five series, Baysox manager Gary Kendall is confident he can count on outfielder Cedric Mullins. The young man was the talk of Orioles spring training camp in March as he kept getting called over from minor league camp and kept impressing manager Buck Showalter. He even hit an opposite field homer off Boston closer Craig Kimbrel. The Orioles skipped Mullins, who played last year for Single-A...

More on Machado's heroics, plus Hays on his power

More on Machado's heroics, plus Hays on his power
New York Yankees right-hander Dellin Betances has allowed three homers in 52 2/3 innings this year and two of them have come the past two nights against the Orioles. Betances made two big mistakes in the ninth last night. First, he walked Tim Beckham to give Manny Machado a chance. And he left a breaking ball up in the zone that Machado could mash. He did. It was a walk-off two-run home run in the last of the ninth as the Orioles, once down 6-1, beat the Yankees 7-6. Machado has three walk-off...
