O's game blog: O's face Mariners in series opener

O's game blog: O's face Mariners in series opener
After losing two of three in Anaheim and splitting a four-game series in Oakland, the Orioles have arrived at the final stop of this road trip. They begin a three-game series tonight at Safeco Field against the Seattle Mariners. The Orioles (58-60) are 3-4 on this trip and continue to chase the .500 mark. They would need to sweep this series to return home on Friday with a record of better than .500. Seattle (59-60) just got swept four straight at home by the Angels. They lost by scores of 6-3,...

O's still chasing .500, plus Chris Tillman's bullpen debut

O's still chasing .500, plus Chris Tillman's bullpen debut
OAKLAND, Calif. - If the Orioles are going to be a playoff team in the 2017 season, they probably first need to be a team that wins at least half of its games. Right now the club is having a hard time even getting to .500, much less staying there or moving several games over. Since June 21, the Orioles have gotten to .500 just three times. They were 38-38 on June 27, 39-39 on June 29 and 56-56 on Aug. 7. The last instance was a week ago when they beat the Angels 6-2 in Anaheim to start this...

Wrapping up a loss in the series finale at Oakland

Wrapping up a loss in the series finale at Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. - It is probably getting a little late in the season for the Orioles to take one step forward and then one back, but that is what they've been doing on their West Coast road trip. Today looked good early. Coming off a 20-hit, 12-5 win Saturday night, they took an early 2-0 lead. They had seven hits before they had made an out in the third inning. But when Oakland scored five runs in the fourth, the Orioles momentum hit a brick wall. They lost 9-3 to Oakland to split a four-game...

Oakland scores five in fourth to top Hellickson and the O's

Oakland scores five in fourth to top Hellickson and the O's
OAKLAND, Calif. - It looked like right-hander Jeremy Hellickson was rolling. He had pitched to an ERA of 2.08 in his first two Orioles starts. Then today, he got through the first three innings at Oakland with a 2-0 lead on just 24 pitches. But on a sunny afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum, looks were deceiving. Matt Chapman hit a three-run homer as Oakland scored five times in the fourth and went on to beat the Orioles 9-3 today. The Orioles split this four-game series and fall to 3-4 on this...

Showalter talks rotation (plus a game update)

Showalter talks rotation (plus a game update)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles starting pitchers have been pitching better. We have the games and the stats to show us that. But manager Buck Showalter has been reluctant to say his rotation has turned any corners. There is good reason for that probably. He has seen the rotation pitch so poorly for most of this year. But coming into today's game, O's starters have allowed two earned runs or less 10 times in the past 15 games, pitching to an ERA of 2.64 in that span. They have nine quality starts...

Showalter on Santander, Sept. 1 callup talk and more

Showalter on Santander, Sept. 1 callup talk and more
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles are expected to add Rule 5 outfielder Anthony Santander to their major league roster next Thursday. That would be two days after his 20-day rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie ends. Teams have 48 hours after the end of the assignment to add players. Even though the Orioles are off that day, Santander will have to be added on the 17th and he would then be active when the Orioles start a six-game homestand next Friday. The 22-year-old native of Venezuela was taken...

O's game blog: Hellickson on mound in series finale
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles can get back to the .500 mark if they win today at the Oakland Coliseum. They have taken two of three in this series. If they can make it three of four, they will leave Oakland with a record of 59-59. The Orioles bashed eight doubles among 20 hits in last night's 12-5 win. In this series they have scored 23 runs on 40 hits with 14 doubles, a triple and five home runs. The Orioles scored seven runs in the first inning last night, going 8-for-10 at-bat in the...

Another look at Tim Beckham's amazing start with the Orioles

Another look at Tim Beckham's amazing start with the Orioles
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles scored 12 runs on Saturday night. They had 20 hits. But they didn't hit a single homer. They did bash eight doubles, one off the team record, in the 12-5 victory over Oakland. Adam Jones continued his big series at the Oakland Colisuem, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Joey Rickard went 3-for-4 and scored three runs. Manny Machado drove in two. So did Chris Davis. But it was shortstop Tim Beckham, once again, who was most amazing of them all. He had his third career...

O's erupt for seven-run first and beat Oakland 12-5 (with quotes)
OAKLAND, Calif. - After coming up a run short and blowing a late lead last night, the Orioles started the game tonight like a team still smarting from that loss. They scored seven runs in the top of the first and produced 20 hits on their way to a 12-5 win over the Athletics in front of 29,742 at Oakland Colisuem. The Orioles hit eight doubles tonight, one off a team record. They had eight doubles in one game each in 1996 and 2009. The O's went 9-for-18 with runners in scoring position. The...

Orioles score seven runs in the first inning at Oakland

Orioles score seven runs in the first inning at Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. - Well, that was one way to respond to a tough one-run loss on Friday night. The Orioles scored seven runs on eight hits in the top of the first inning tonight at the Oakland Coliseum. They knocked A's starter Sean Manaea out after he got just one out - and that was an out at the plate. The seven runs ties for their biggest inning of the year and matches their highest run total for any one game on this road trip. They beat the A's Thursday night 7-2. Manaea had allowed 12 runs...

Pregame notes from Oakland on Jiménez, Bundy and more

Pregame notes from Oakland on Jiménez, Bundy and more
OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez is fine to make his next start. Jiménez fanned 11 and gave up three runs over 5 1/3 innings last night. He was pulled from the game after being hit on the right leg by a hot-smash grounder off the bat of Chad Pinder that went for an infield hit. After the game, Jiménez said he was pretty certain he was going to be fine. Manager Buck Showalter confirmed this afternoon that he is. "The biggest problem he had - it's the same place he...

Chris Tillman still waiting for first chance to pitch out of bullpen

Chris Tillman still waiting for first chance to pitch out of bullpen
OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman remains a member of the bullpen for now. But he is a member yet to appear in a major league game in relief yet. Since his last start on Aug. 3 at home against the Tigers, Tillman has had eight days' rest as he awaits his first appearance out of the Orioles bullpen. "I've just been going out and doing what I would normally do," he said this afternoon of the inactivity. "I'd normally play catch and try and stay ready. It's new to me, so...

OAKLAND, Calif. - After their second one-run loss in four days on this road trip, the Orioles play the third game of their weekend series tonight against the Athletics. The Orioles let a 4-3 lead get away in the eighth last night and lost 5-4 to the A's. They are 2-3 on this 10-game road trip and that included Tuesday's 3-2 loss in Anaheim to Parker Bridwell and the Angels. The Orioles missed a chance to get back to the .500 mark Friday night. They are 57-59 and 22-36 in road games. They are...

One that got away: Another look at a frustrating loss

One that got away: Another look at a frustrating loss
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles have had some tough losses this year. The one last night ranks pretty high on the brutal scale. Playing a bad team and six outs from victory, the Orioles instead suffered a 5-4 loss to the Athletics. Six outs from getting back to .500 and moving over .500 on this road trip, the Orioles instead find themselves this morning at 57-59 for the season and 2-3 on this 10-game West Coast trip. It unraveled quickly for reliever Brad Brach in the last of the eighth. Working...

O's can't hold late lead, fall 5-4 at Oakland (quotes added)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez tonight showed some swing and miss stuff. The Orioles offense meanwhile, showed just enough stuff to get a one-run lead. But the Orioles bullpen could not close it out. Oakland scored twice in the last of eighth off right-hander Brad Brach to come from behind and beat the Orioles tonight 5-4 in front of 14,330 at the Oakland Coliseum. On to protect the 4-3 lead, Brach allowed a Matt Joyce double and Marcus Semien single to get into instant first...

Buck on Mancini; Ubaldo Jiménez fans eight over first three frames

Buck on Mancini; Ubaldo Jiménez fans eight over first three frames
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles' Trey Mancini went through a six-game stretch heading into last night's game where he went 3-for-23. His average dipped from .302 to .291. But that average got a jolt last night when Mancini had a huge game in the Orioles 7-2 win in the series opener. Mancini doubled to left in the second inning in his first at-bat. Then he was involved in back-to-back homers each of his next two times to bat. So he started the night 3-for-3 with three extra-base hits before he...

Buck Showalter on tonight's batting order
OAKLAND, Calf. - The Orioles lineup that took on a different look last night, with Tim Beckham leading off and Adam Jones batting fourth, has an even different look tonight. Chris Davis, who sat out last night, is back in the lineup, but batting seventh for the first time this season. Yesterday manager Buck Showalter said he wanted to give Davis a break and he sat out. He said then Davis could get a second day off, but he's back in there tonight trying to snap a 2-for-25 slump. "He's ready...

OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis returns to the starting lineup tonight in Oakland, after sitting out Thursday's series opener. But with just two hits his last 25 at-bats and one homer the past 17 games, Davis has been dropped to seventh in tonight's batting order. Davis has not hit seventh this year. He has hit fourth for 41 games, fifth for 42 games and second for one game. "I understand he (manager Buck Showalter) is going to make adjustments to try and get guys...

O's game blog: Jiménez on the mound for Game 2 at Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles offense came back to life last night with nine extra-base hits, including four homers, in a 7-2 win over Oakland. Tonight we'll see if the offense can continue in the second game of this four-game series. The Orioles (57-58) can get back to the .500 mark. They are in a wild race for the second AL wild-card spot. Six teams are within 1 1/2 games of the spot which is held by Seattle and Tampa Bay jointly with 59-57 records. Minnesota is 1/2-game behind those teams...

Mancini's two-homer game and other notes from the win

Mancini's two-homer game and other notes from the win
OAKLAND, Calif. - If Trey Mancini was in a slump, it was hard to notice. But he did have just three hits his previous 23 at-bats going into last night's series opener at Oakland. His average had dipped below .300 and he went 0-for-11 to start the road trip. But he matched that hit total last night, going 3-for-4 with a double and two solo homers as the Orioles beat Oakland 7-2 in front of 11,386 at the Oakland Coliseum. The Orioles hit back-to-back homers twice, and both times it happened on...
