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...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces Sean Manaea in Oakland
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.

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.

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)

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...

Chris Davis on returning to the lineup and batting seventh
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...

O's hit back-to-back homers twice to win opener (quotes added)
OAKLAND, Calif. - In need of offense after scoring three runs over the last two games, the Orioles turned to an old friend tonight - the longball. They hit back-to-back homers on back-to-back pitches twice tonight to beat the A's 7-2 in the opener of this four-game series at Oakland Coliseum. The Orioles improved to 57-58 for the season and to 2-2 on this 10-game road trip. Oakland is 50-65. Adam Jones and Trey Mancini went back-to-back in the fourth off A's righty Chris Smith for a 3-1 lead....

Showalter talks up Santander (plus a game update)

Showalter talks up Santander (plus a game update)
OAKLAND, Calif. - It may now be just a matter of days before the Orioles get a look at Rule 5 outfielder Anthony Santander at the major league level. Manager Buck Showalter is excited to see what he's got. The 22-year-old native of Venezuela was taken from the Indians organization last December at the Winter Meetings. Santander played for Lynchburg in the Carolina League last year. He batted .290/.368/.494 with 42 doubles, 20 home runs, 90 runs scored, 95 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 128 games....

Showalter on Davis not starting and lineup changes
OAKLAND, Calif. - With his batting average at its lowest point since he went 1-for-5 opening day, first baseman Chris Davis is not starting tonight. He is fine physically, but he has just two hits over 25 at-bats his last seven games and manager Buck Showalter will give him a day off and potentially more than that. "Just give him a day or so," Showalter said during his pregame media session. "He's fine physically. As fine as anyone can be this time of year. He's available. Just giving him...

Joey Rickard back in lineup after hit by pitch

Joey Rickard back in lineup after hit by pitch
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles seemed convinced after yesterday's game that outfielder Joey Rickard was going to be fine and it turns out that is exactly the case. Rickard was hit on the batting helmet by a Troy Scribner pitch in the top of the sixth Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim. He came out of the game as Craig Gentry pinch-ran for him during the Orioles' 5-1 loss in Anaheim. But Rickard is starting tonight in Oakland, batting ninth in right field. "I'm good to go," he said this...

OAKLAND, Calif. - New city, new series. The Orioles begin a four-game series in Oakland tonight, looking to get their offense going again and looking to start compiling some wins on this 10-game road trip. The trip began with the Orioles losing two of three to the Angels in Anaheim. They scored just nine runs in that series and just three runs on 12 hits in the last two games. O's pitchers allowed 10 runs and 21 hits in the series with eight walks and 28 strikeouts. O's starters gave up nine...

OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles' road trip begins its second stop tonight as they start a four-game series against the Oakland A's.

The Orioles head to Oakland looking to jump-start their offense

The Orioles head to Oakland looking to jump-start their offense
ANAHEIM, Calif. - They say momentum in baseball is only as good as the next day's pitcher. When Manny Machado hit a seventh-inning grand slam on Monday night, the Orioles grabbed momentum and a win in Anaheim. At that point they had gone 14-7 the previous 21 games to get back to .500. You had to like their chances to win the series against the Angels and get the long West Coast road trip off to a good start. But then the unlikely duo of Parker Bridwell and Troy Scribner held the Orioles to two...

Wrapping up the disappointing loss in the series finale in Anaheim

Wrapping up the disappointing loss in the series finale in Anaheim
ANAHEIM, Calif. - When this road trip started on Monday night, the Orioles got an uplifting win. Manny Machado hit a grand slam in the seventh, Dylan Bundy fanned 10 and the Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2. But not a lot went right after that. The O's bats were shut down by former Oriole Parker Bridwell last night, and today the Orioles were held to four hits in a 5-1 loss. That is three runs and 12 hits the last two days as they lose the first series on the three-city West Coast road...

Offense comes up short as Orioles drop series finale

Offense comes up short as Orioles drop series finale
ANAHEIM, Calif. - It was a series where the Orioles didn't get much offense and the trend continued this afternoon against a pitcher making his second major league start. The Orioles lost 5-1 in front of 36,202 to the Los Angeles Angels to drop the series after winning Monday's series opener. It's a disappointing end to a series that began with promise when Manny Machado's seventh-inning grand slam provided a 6-2 lead and win Monday night. But over the series' last two games, the Orioles...

Mark Trumbo on coming off the DL (plus game updates)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Mark Trumbo is back in the Orioles lineup today for the first time since July 29. He was on the 10-day disabled list with a right rib cage strain.

He is batting fifth as the designated hitter and struck out swinging his first time up in the second inning. "It feels really good (to be back)," Trumbo said this morning in the visiting clubhouse.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is back in a down cycle with the bat. He is 2-for-21 his last six games with nine strikeouts as his average has dropped from .224 to .215. He is 1-for-7 in this series. I asked manager Buck Showalter this morning if he wishes Davis would become more aggressive at the plate and take fewer pitches? "Of course," he said. "I'm sure people see something in a game and they wonder about those things. If they saw all the work and conversations and...
