Dylan Bundy on getting extra rest in upcoming starts

Dylan Bundy on getting extra rest in upcoming starts
TORONTO - After a recent two-start stretch where he gave up 10 earned runs over 9 1/3 innings and his ERA jumped from 3.05 to 3.72, the Orioles decided to give right-hander Dylan Bundy some extra rest. He made his last start on regular rest and pitched well on Saturday against Tampa Bay. He gave up three runs over seven innings to improve to 8-6 with a 3.73 ERA through 16 starts. But with more than half of the 2017 season still to play, Bundy is at 99 innings. He threw a total of 109 2/3 last...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman pitches series opener

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman pitches series opener
TORONTO - The Orioles have had just one winning record in the last 11 season series in Toronto and they might have a chance to do that this year. In 2015, they went 3-6 at Toronto, and last year they went 4-6. The Orioles posted a winning season series mark at Rogers Centre in 2014, going 5-4. Tonight they play their second of three series here this year. They went 3-1 in April at Rogers Centre and have won all three series against Toronto this season, going 7-2 in nine games. The Orioles...

Manto's takes, Mancini's homers and Gausman's split usage

Manto's takes, Mancini's homers and Gausman's split usage
Several batters with Single-A Frederick have been thriving this year. The Keys lead the Carolina League in batting average (.272), rank fourth in OBP (.331), first in slugging (.428) and fourth in runs scored. Three Keys position players - shortstop Ryan Mountcastle and outfielders Austin Hays and Randolph Gassaway - made the Carolina League All-Star team. Orioles minor league hitting coordinator Jeff Manto made an interesting observation of those hitters during a recent interview. He pointed...

Looking back on a road series win, Crichton rides the shuttle

Looking back on a road series win, Crichton rides the shuttle
For the first time since the Orioles took two of three at Cincinnati April 18-20, they have won a road series. By taking the last two games at Tropicana Field, the Orioles win a series away from Camden Yards. Now can they get two in a row? The Orioles scored 16 runs and hit six homers the last two days in back-to-back wins over Tampa Bay. Even after going through a stretch in which they went 13-27 over 40 games, the Orioles find themselves just four games out of first place this morning. New...

After a solid win Saturday, now can O's win a road series?

After a solid win Saturday, now can O's win a road series?
They got some clutch hits late in the game and they held an opponent to three runs. So Saturday was a good day for the Orioles as they beat Tampa Bay 8-3 for just their second road win 15 games. They are still two games under .500 at 36-38 and have lost 28 of 42 games since May 10. The way their starting rotation has been pitching, there is no hint that the club is about to make a dramatic turnaround. But for one day they looked good. Now we see if they can do it again. A win today at Tropicana...

O's game blog: Hitting notes heading into Game 2 (O's win 8-3)
The Orioles have been losing a lot lately, while Tampa Bay has been winning lately. The Orioles will try to reverse that trend this afternoon at Tropicana Field. The Orioles (35-38) have lost four of five and 22 of their past 32 games. Tampa Bay (40-36) is a season-high four games over .500 after winning five of six and 11 of its past 16 games. Tampa Bay is 10-3 in its last 13 home games. The Orioles send right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-6, 3.72 ERA) to the mound for his 16th start. After recording...

When it comes to draft pick signings, O's have moved fast

When it comes to draft pick signings, O's have moved fast
When the Orioles announced two more draft pick signings on Thursday afternoon, that brought their total to 29 signed picks out of the 41 they selected in the recent First-Year Player Draft. That is an impressive total to have wrapped up this soon. This will definitely benefit the individual players. By signing fast, they can get their pro careers started sooner and begin learning the pro game and impressing their new organization faster. Signing quickly is almost always good for the player. So...

O's game blog: Road trip begins at the Trop (O's lose 15-5)
After completing a 3-4 homestand that leaves them two games under .500 at 35-37, the Orioles begin a six-game road trip tonight in St. Petersburg, Fla., against the Tampa Bay Rays. The trip also will take them to Toronto for three games beginning Tuesday. The Orioles have been a very poor road team with a 11-23 record away from Oriole Park. They have lost 12 of their last 13 and 20 of the past 25 road games. The Orioles will try to avoid tying a major league record tonight. They've allowed...

Bleier tries to establish himself in O's 'pen (O's lose again)

Bleier tries to establish himself in O's 'pen (O's lose again)
It seemed like a bit of a curious move at the time, seeing a team trade a lefty reliever that pitched to a 1.96 ERA last year in 23 games. Not only did the New York Yankees trade that pitcher, they traded him to the Orioles. And only for a player to be named later. The lefty who pitched so well in a short look for the Yankees last year, 30-year-old Richard Bleier, has pitched well for the Orioles this year, both on the farm and with the big club. Bleier had a 0.61 ERA in eight games with...

O's extend five-runs streak as they lose series finale (quotes added)
The Orioles extended their club-record streak for pitching futility and pulled to within one of a major league record tonight. And they looked bad in doing so. O's starter Wade Miley gave up four runs in the first three innings and the Indians went on to beat the Orioles 6-3 at Camden Yards. The Indians take three of four in the series. Orioles pitchers have now allowed five runs or more for 19 consecutive games, one shy of the most in major league history. That was a 20-game streak by the...

The Orioles host the Indians tonight to complete a four-game series and a seven-game homestand at Oriole Park.

Back from Triple-A, Donnie Hart returns with improved mechanics

Back from Triple-A, Donnie Hart returns with improved mechanics
Orioles lefty reliever Donnie Hart said he has felt his mechanics a bit out of sync for most of this season. He went from pitching to an ERA of 0.49 last year to an ERA that rose to 4.32 on June 6 this year. That was when he was sent to Triple-A Norfolk for the second time. He was there for two weeks and returned to the Orioles on Tuesday. He put those 14 days to good use. Over 4 2/3 innings in four games with Norfolk, Hart cleaned up his mechanics issues and did not allow a run in those games...

The 14-year-old that impressed the Orioles

The 14-year-old that impressed the Orioles
Sometimes when a teenager meets Major League Baseball players, he can learn a lot from them. Sometimes, it can happen the other way. On Wednesday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Orioles learned a lot about an inspiring young man. He is 14-year-old Luke Terry. An eighth-grade catcher from Cornersville, Tenn., Terry had his right arm amputated as an infant. Through perseverance and hard work, he overcame physical challenges on the field and inspired supporters from around the world with his...

Blanked until the ninth, O's fall 5-1 to Indians (quotes added)
After giving up 16 runs over his previous three starts, it got better for Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman tonight. But the Orioles offense had no answers for Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who got a huge assist from former O's lefty Andrew Miller. The Orioles fell 5-1 to the Indians at Oriole Park as the Birds lost for the 10th time in 14 games. The American League Central-leading Indians have won seven of its past eight games and leads this series two wins to one. The Orioles were...

After splitting the first two games of a four-game series, the Orioles host the Cleveland Indians tonight in Game 3 at Oriole Park. Right-hander Kevin Gausman (3-6, 6.60 ERA) faces right-hander Carlos Carrasco (7-3, 3.21 ERA). The start of tonight's game is being delayed by rain.

Manto's big praise for Mountcastle, plus other notes

Manto's big praise for Mountcastle, plus other notes
ABERDEEN, Md. - To say the least, Orioles minor league hitting coordinator Jeff Manto is a big Ryan Mountcastle fan. He has seen the kid show off an impressive bat pretty much since the day the organization drafted him No. 36 overall in 2015. The 20-year-old Mountcastle has seen big power emerge this season and he has had a Player of the Year type of season so far on the O's farm. While scouts indicate his defense at shortstop has been a challenge, his bat has been a huge challenge for...

Zach Britton throws scoreless inning at Aberdeen (quotes added)
ABERDEEN, Md. - Pitching in a game for the first time since he faced Boston on May 4, Orioles closer Zach Britton pitched a scoreless first inning tonight for short-season Single-A Aberdeen. Facing the Hudson Valley Renegades in Aberdeen's season opener, Britton fanned second baseman Vidal Brujan on a 2-2 pitch that the young hitter chased off the outside corner. Britton then walked center fielder Emilio Gustave on a 3-2 pitch. But the lefty then got a first-pitch grounder from catcher Zack...

O's game blog: A Tillman-Tomlin matchup tonight at Oriole Park
If you remember all the close games the Orioles played in April, well, we have not seen many lately. In fact, over the four games of the current homestand, the Orioles lost to St. Louis 11-2 and then beat them 15-7 and 8-5. They began a series with Cleveland last night losing 12-0. Right-hander Corey Kluber was dominant against the Orioles holding them to three hits and no runner even advanced to second base. He threw the shutout on 108 pitches and it was his second shutout of the year and...
