O's game blog: Kevin Gausman gets start in series finale

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman gets start in series finale
ANAHEIM, Calif. - When the Orioles and Los Angeles Angels wrap up a three-game series this afternoon, right-hander Kevin Gausman will try to pitch another strong outing. He owned a 6.47 ERA in mid-June, but Gausman (8-7, 5.15 ERA) has been on a pretty good roll since then. Over his past four starts, he is 3-0 with a 0.65 ERA. Over 27 2/3 innings he has given up 19 hits and two runs with nine walks and 32 strikeouts. Going further back, Gausman is 5-0 with a 2.87 ERA over his last eight games....

Notes and quotes from the Orioles' loss last night

Notes and quotes from the Orioles' loss last night
ANAHEIM, Calif. - In a pitcher's duel Tuesday night the Orioles lost to one of their former players. They had some big chances to score on offense but the key hit that came on Monday night didn't arrive last night. One night after getting back to the .500 mark, the Orioles are one game under again after Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Right-hander Parker Bridwell, the Orioles ninth-round pick in the 2010 draft, held Baltimore to six hits and one run over seven innings. Bridwell...

Bridwell bests Hellickson as O's lose 3-2 (quotes added)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - It came without much warning. Orioles right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, in his second start for the club, seemed to be rolling. He struck out six of the last seven batters to face him as he took the mound for the last of the seventh tonight. The game was tied 1-1. But Hellickson's effectiveness ended there. The Angels started the inning with four straight hits and went on to score twice to break the tie and post a 3-2 win over the Orioles tonight. The Orioles' three-game win...

Showalter remembers Schoop in LLWS (plus game update)

Showalter remembers Schoop in LLWS (plus game update)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - It is a storyline that comes up it seems every August. Right about the time that the Little League World Series begins in Williamsport, Pa. Someone will interview Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop about the time his team won the championship. Schoop and the kids from the tiny island nation of Curacao played in the LLWS not once, but twice. They had a strong showing in 2003. They won the championship in 2004. Schoop began that final game batting third and playing...

A look at Dylan Bundy's upcoming schedule and other notes
ANAHEIM, Calif. - After a strong outing on Monday night in the series and road trip opener, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy is lined up to make his next start on Saturday, pitching on the normal four days' rest. The Orioles keep looking for ways to get Bundy extra rest and he had an extra day of rest before last night's start. Then he went out and pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and two runs with no walks and 10 strikeouts, a new career high, on 105 pitches in beating the Angels...

After yielding slam, Mychal Givens bounced back last night

After yielding slam, Mychal Givens bounced back last night
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Besides having a mid- to high-90s fastball and nasty slider, Orioles right-hander Mychal Givens has something else that helps him pitch well as a reliever - a short memory. When Givens took the mound Friday night at Camden Yards in the eighth inning, he was trying to protect a 2-1 lead for Kevin Gausman and help the Orioles beat the Tigers. When he entered that game, he had pitched to an ERA of 0.60 his previous 26 games. But he allowed two singles and a walk, and with the...

Parker Bridwell talks about facing the Orioles tonight
ANAHEIM, Calif. - He was selected by the Orioles in the ninth round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft out of a Texas high school.

Manny Machado came up huge on night one of the road trip
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Great players make great plays. Given two chances in the seventh inning Monday night to make such plays, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-2. In a 2-2 tie he batted with the bases loaded and two outs and hit a grand slam 423-feet to left field. That was in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the seventh, he made an excellent backhand stop of a hot-smash grounder and turned that into an inning-ending double play. The Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 to...

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles infielder Tim Beckham doesn't seem too interested in trying to analyze his stunning start with the Orioles. But after going 14-for-24 (.583) in his first six games with the team, today Beckham was named the latest American League Player of the Week.

O's game blog: Ubaldo Jiménez on mound in series finale
If the Orioles can beat Detroit at Camden Yards this afternoon, they will pull within one game of the .500 mark at 55-56. They would also split this four-game series and complete a 5-2 homestand. It would be a nice way to head to the west coast for a 10-game trip beginning Monday night. Coming off back-to-back solid outings, right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez (4-7, 6.56 ERA) gets the start today. In his past two outings against Tampa Bay and Kansas City, Jiménez pitched 13 innings, allowing...

A look at last night's win and other notes
After losing the first two games of the series with the Tigers and losing a one-run lead in the eighth inning on Friday, it felt like a big game for the Orioles last night. It was a big one to win, as they beat the Tigers 5-2 at Oriole Park. Coming into this series, they wanted more than a four-game split, but if they get that today, they will head to the West Coast later this afternoon with some momentum. Wade Miley needed 113 pitches to get through five innings. But at least he put up four...

Orioles look to bounce back tonight after gut-punch loss

Orioles look to bounce back tonight after gut-punch loss
It is hard to win a game with just two runs, but the Orioles seemed positioned well to do it last night. They took a 2-1 lead behind Kevin Gausman to the top of the eighth. They brought in Mychal Givens, who has been among the best relievers in the game this year. A 1.86 ERA for the season, no runs allowed his previous 12 games, an ERA of 0.60 since late May over 26 games. He's been pitching great. The Orioles had Givens for the eighth and Zach Britton for the ninth, but they never could get...
