How do win-now O's approach the draft? (plus O's-Yankees preview)
With several key Orioles players - a list that includes Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Adam Jones and Chris Tillman - eligible to be free agents in the next year or two, the Orioles are in win-now mode. The latest First-Year Player Draft begins Monday and runs through Wednesday. The Orioles have four of the first 100 selections, picking at Nos. 21, 60, 74 and 98. The O's have 11 picks in the first 10 rounds. So does a win-now situation affect how they proceed in this year's draft? Orioles...

O's game blog: O's have won eight of 10 against Nats (O's lose 6-1)
Once again, it's the Orioles and Nationals. This time for one night only at Nationals Park, as the clubs make up the rainout in Washington from May 11. The clubs were scheduled for a four-game, home-and-home series. The Orioles won the first two games in Baltimore, 6-4 and 5-4. The Nats rallied late to win the first in Washington 7-6. The Orioles lost that game and went on to go 3-13 over a 16-game stretch through May 28. But starting May 29, they began a nine-game homestand that ended with...

Mancini's impressive RISP stats and other notes from last night

Mancini's impressive RISP stats and other notes from last night
Not only did Trey Mancini hit game-tying and game-winning home runs for the Orioles last night, but he added to some amazing stats he is compiling when he bats with runners in scoring position. Mancini is now batting .483 (14-for-29) with six homers, 24 RBIs and an OPS of 1.672 when batting with runners in scoring position. Last night, he hit with a runner in scoring position and two outs each time he batted. For the season, when he hits with RISP and two outs, Mancini is batting .583...

Trey Mancini: "This is a pretty special night for sure"

Trey Mancini: "This is a pretty special night for sure"
The Orioles' Trey Mancini had gone 21 games without a homer. Then tonight he hit one in the ninth inning to tie the game, and again in the 11th to win it. It was a remarkable performance by a player who didn't even start the game, and by a team that trailed 6-1 in the eighth. The Orioles trailed 5-3 in the ninth and won in extras last night and trailed 6-2 in the ninth tonight and won in extras. So, some Oriole magic was seen at the Yard. They beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-6 in 11 innings to...

Trey Mancini hits game-tying and game-winning homers

Trey Mancini hits game-tying and game-winning homers
If Trey Mancini's first homer was pretty special tonight, his second was even better. Mancini's Oriole legend grew tonight as he hit a two-run homer in the ninth to tie the game and then a three-run homer in the 11th to win it. You had to see it to believe it. The Orioles beat the Pirates 9-6 in 11 innings. With the game tied 6-6 in the 11th, Joey Rickard singled and then, with two outs, Caleb Joseph walked. Mancini hit the first pitch from Wade LeBlanc out to left for his second homer in...

Edwin Jackson talks about joining the Orioles

Edwin Jackson talks about joining the Orioles
The newest reliever in the Orioles bullpen is a veteran of over 1,700 major league innings. The Orioles added right-hander Edwin Jackson to their roster today, selecting his contract from Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles are his 12th different major league team. The Orioles signed him April 5, and after he built up some innings at extended spring, they sent him to Norfolk. Over 12 games in relief he pitched to a 3.10 ERA. In 20 1/3 innings he gave up 20 hits, walked 10 and struck out 17. His last...

Walk-off win: Mark Trumbo's single wins it in the 10th
They used some dramatic home runs to get back in the game, but a measly single to center won it for the Orioles tonight in the series opener with Pittsburgh. Mark Trumbo's RBI single to center with two outs scored Adam Jones in the last of the 10th as the Orioles rallied to beat Pittsburgh 6-5 at Camden Yards. Jones came up with a one-out single in the 10th for his third hit. He then alertly tagged up and advanced to second when Manny Machado flew out to the left field wall. Trumbo then...

Infielder Rubén Tejada talks about joining the Orioles

Infielder Rubén Tejada talks about joining the Orioles
A veteran of 616 major league games since 2010, the Orioles added infielder Rubén Tejada to their 25- and 40-man rosters today, and he was in the clubhouse this afternoon. Tejada will wear No. 17. To make roster room, Paul Janish was designated for assignment. The Orioles had just acquired Tejada on Sunday night for cash considerations from the New York Yankees. The 27-year-old right-handed hitter was playing for New York's Triple-A Scranton team this season. In 37 games, he is batting...

O's rank 13th in starting rotation ERA, but will it get better?

O's rank 13th in starting rotation ERA, but will it get better?
When it comes to some starting rotation stats, they are not overall favorable for the Orioles. But they must hope that some recent potentially positive developments can begin to change some of that. You may have heard, starting pitching is pretty important and the pundits had it as a question mark for Baltimore to start the year. Through Sunday's games, the Orioles' starting pitching ERA of 4.59 ranked 13th among 15 American League teams. Their starters' total innings pitched ranked...

Did O's steady the ship with 4-3 run?

Did O's steady the ship with 4-3 run?
After going through a 3-13 stretch through the end of a series at Houston a week ago yesterday, the Orioles went 4-3 over their past seven games against the Yankees and Red Sox. A 4-3 record against those teams would be pretty solid most of the time, except maybe when they started the stretch 4-1, then lost the next two games as the Orioles just did. They took the first two games against Boston before losing the last two. They have played four series against Boston and have not lost a single...

Francisco Peña on key throwing error and Chris Tillman on his outing

Francisco Peña on key throwing error and Chris Tillman on his outing
Orioles catcher Francisco Peña saw a great chance to get a key out this afternoon and he took it. But he didn't get the result he wanted. In the sixth inning of a 3-3 game, his costly throwing error allowed two Boston runs to score and the Red Sox went on to a 7-3 victory in the series finale. With two outs, Chris Tillman had an 0-2 count on No. 9 hitter Devon Marrero and wanted to try and get him to chase a curveball to end the inning. Even with the bases loaded, Tillman wanted to bounce a...

O's get three early runs but nothing after and lose series finale

O's get three early runs but nothing after and lose series finale
The Orioles scored three runs in the first inning today off Boston left-hander Chris Sale. But they could not muster any offense after that. Then a costly throwing error gave Boston the lead and the Red Sox beat the Orioles 7-3 to split the four-game series. It was a disappointing last two games of the series for the Orioles that leaves them at 29-26 and 1 1/2 games behind Boston for second place. The Orioles fall to 19-10 at home and are 4-3 on this homestand that resumes Tuesday. Boston has...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Boston in series finale
The Orioles have played Boston in four series now and they have not lost one. They won't lose this current series either after taking two of the first three games. But they lost last night 5-2 and need a win today to take this series. Earlier, they split two games with Boston, won two of three and split a four-game series. The Orioles are 7-5 on the season versus Boston and 4-2 at home. Since the 2012 season they are 61-45 (.575) versus the Red Sox. Since the start of last year they are 10-5...

Mike Wright on his family's charity today at Camden Yards
It is a charity very near and dear to Orioles right-hander Mike Wright. And today at Camden Yards, his sister will have a community booth set up on the main concourse to raise money.

Fred Manfra on wrapping up 25 years in O's radio booth

Fred Manfra on wrapping up 25 years in O's radio booth
He is a kid from Baltimore that did good. Real good. But after today, life will be very different for longtime Orioles broadcaster Fred Manfra as he heads into retirement. It is possible he could be asked to call an occasional game or two later at some point, but a 25-year Orioles broadcasting career comes to a close with this afternoon's game at Camden Yards. Manfra and his wife Marlene are moving to Tampa, Fla., to be near his daughter Stephanie, her husband Beck, and Manfra's 3-year-old...

David Price with a strong start as Boston wins 5-2 (quotes added)
The Orioles struggled to get to left-hander David Price tonight. When they finally did and cut their two-run deficit to one, Boston added two keys runs in the eighth off struggling right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez. The late runs, Hanley Ramirez's three-RBI night and Price's strong outing helped Boston secure a 5-2 win tonight in front of 35,470 at Camden Yards. And they have a chance to even the four-game series on Sunday afternoon. Down four runs in the ninth, the Orioles actually brought the...
