Bundy as stopper: Right-hander pitches O's past Yankees

Bundy as stopper: Right-hander pitches O's past Yankees
You can call Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy a stopper today because he helped the Orioles halt a seven-game losing streak and start a nine-game homestand with a win. Bundy gave up two runs over seven innings as the Orioles beat the New York Yankees 3-2 in front of 40,242 at Camden Yards. The Orioles are 26-23 and moved to within 3 1/2 games of the first-place Yankees. The Orioles ended their longest losing streak since July 2011. Bundy delivered his 10th quality start in 11 games. He gave up...

O's game blog: Bundy on mound in series opener against Yankees

O's game blog: Bundy on mound in series opener against Yankees
Well, the Orioles have a good record at home this season and a good record versus American League East teams. So maybe returning home to play their next seven against the AL East will serve as a tonic for the club right now. At 25-23, the Orioles host the first-place New York Yankees this afternoon to celebrate Memorial Day and begin a three-game series. They'll host Boston for four games starting Thursday. The Orioles are 15-7 at home (.682, third-best in majors), even though they've lost...

For the Orioles, a fall to third place has been a team effort

For the Orioles, a fall to third place has been a team effort
When the Orioles' seven-game losing streak began, they were leading the American League East by a half-game over the New York Yankees team they face today at Camden Yards. Now, seven losses later, they are just two games over .500 and 4 1/2 games out. That happened fast. The Orioles are in third place, just a half-game ahead of fourth-place Tampa Bay and three up on last-place Toronto. Going first to worst is not a good look and the Orioles have to turn this around sometime. It's still May...

O's game blog: Orioles try to salvage series finale (O's lose 8-4)

O's game blog: Orioles try to salvage series finale (O's lose 8-4)
If the Orioles thought facing Dallas Keuchel was tough last night, facing 23-year-old right-hander Lance McCullers might prove tougher today. McCullers has allowed just one unearned run over his past four starts. He'll try to pitch Houston to a three-game sweep of the Orioles this afternoon at Minute Maid Park. The Orioles were 22-10 on May 9, and that was the best record in baseball. But they have gone 3-12 since then, and last night's 5-2 loss was their sixth consecutive. The Orioles have...

Some notes on the losing streak and 3-12 O's slide

Some notes on the losing streak and 3-12 O's slide
Left-hander Dallas Keuchel took the mound for Houston last night with a record of 7-0 and ERA of 1.84. He was facing an Orioles team had that lost 11 of 14 games and been shut out in two of their previous three games. It was not a good matchup on paper. It turned out not to be one on the field either. Keuchel pounded his two-seam fastball down in the zone and gave up four hits and one run over six innings as Houston beat the Orioles 5-2. The Orioles suffered their sixth straight loss. They have...

O's game blog: Orioles look to snap losing streak at Houston

O's game blog: Orioles look to snap losing streak at Houston
The Orioles tonight will try and turn around a slide that has seen them fall into third place for the first time all year. To get a victory tonight, they'll have to win a game started by a former Cy Young winner. The Orioles have lost five in a row, seven of nine and 11 of 14 games. They are 3-10 in their last 13 games decided by one or two runs. They are 10-14 on the road. Houston hosts the Orioles in the second game of the series after beating the Orioles 2-0 last night. Right-hander Joe...

A turn for the worse in close games (Mountcastle hits three homers)

A turn for the worse in close games (Mountcastle hits three homers)
After an off-day, the frustration level for the Orioles and the fans around Birdland got worse, not better. They were blanked 2-0 at Houston last night, shut out by that score for the second time in three games. Back on Monday night, the Orioles scored seven runs. But they gave up 14. They gave up two runs Tuesday and two last night, but scored zero each time. Whatever it takes to win right now, they are unable to do it. It's been quite a fall. When the Orioles beat the Nationals on May 9,...

O's game blog: At 32-16, Houston has MLB's best record
A run where the Orioles are playing 15 home games over an 18-game stretch takes a brief interlude this weekend. The Orioles (25-20) play in Houston (32-16) tonight to start a three-game weekend series at Minute Maid Park. Houston has the best record in the majors, with a winning percentage of .667 with Colorado second at .633. At .614, the Yankees have the second-best win percentage in the American League.

A catching prospect emerges on the farm (plus Machado talk)

A catching prospect emerges on the farm (plus Machado talk)
Chance Sisco is the No. 1 ranked prospect in the Orioles farm system and he has earned the right to be called the best catching prospect in the O's organization. But another catching prospect has emerged. Austin Wynns has flown under the radar for a few seasons. Known for years as a solid defender, Wynns' offense has been trending up in recent seasons and he is having a very impressive year with Double-A Bowie. The Orioles drafted 26-year-old Wynns in round 10 out of Fresno State in 2013. He...

After off-day, Orioles look to end 3-10 tailspin

After off-day, Orioles look to end 3-10 tailspin
Did one swing one from former Orioles catcher Matt Wieters send the current O's team into a two-week tailspin? It is probably much more complicated than that, but since Wieters' walk-off two-run single led the Nationals to a comeback win over the Orioles on May 10, the club has just three wins. They are 3-10 since that time. On that night, the Orioles were looking to extend a win streak to seven games. They led 6-2 heading to the last of the eighth at Nationals Park. But the Nats scored two...

Chris Davis on late strikeout and Chris Tillman on his outing

Chris Davis on late strikeout and Chris Tillman on his outing
After a blown five-run lead Monday and being held to two hits last night, the Orioles today endured more frustration in a 4-3 loss to Minnesota. The Twins completed a three-game sweep at Camden Yards. Some of the latest frustration occurred in the last of the eighth after the O's had turned a 4-0 early deficit into a winnable 4-3 game. But struggling first baseman Chris Davis was called out on strikes with two men on against Twins lefty Taylor Rogers. With runners on first and second after a...

Tillman struggles early and Twins complete three-game sweep
Needing a win to avoid being swept three straight by the Twins, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman struggled early today and the Orioles never could get even. They lost 4-3 as Minnesota completed the sweep. Tillman allowed nine hits and four runs over five innings as he falls to 1-1 with an ERA of 4.43 through four starts. He has pitched five innings or less three times. The Orioles head into an off-day with a four-game losing streak and 25-20 record. They are 3-10 over their past 13 games....

O's game blog: Chris Tillman on the mound in homestand finale
After losing 14-7 on Monday and 2-0 yesterday, the Orioles have lost a home series for the first time this year. Today they try to avoid being swept in a home series by the Minnesota Twins. The Twins have not swept a three-game series in Baltimore since July 22-24, 1996. However, Minnesota did have a four-game sweep at Oriole Park from Aug. 20-23, 2015. Both the Orioles and Yankees lost last night and New York begins today leading the American League East by 1 1/2 games over the Orioles. The AL...

Santana's dominance, Bleier on his outing and other notes

Santana's dominance, Bleier on his outing and other notes
It might be frustrating for Orioles players and fans alike, but on some nights, you just get beat and there is little you can do about it but move on to the next one. Minnesota right-hander Ervin Santana has been a pretty special pitcher this year and the Orioles saw it firsthand last night. A night after a 14-7 loss, they lost 2-0 as Santana two-hit them. The right-hander outdueled Dylan Bundy and is now 7-2 with an ERA of 1.80. Santana began the night with an ERA of 0.45 on the road for the...

Dylan Bundy on his outing and Trey Mancini on Ervin Santana
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy recorded his ninth quality start in 10 outings on the season tonight. He gave up two runs or fewer for the seventh time. But this time the other pitcher was better. We haven't seen that happen often this year with Bundy on the mound, but the Twins' Ervin Santana pitched a complete-game two-hitter in Minnesota's 2-0 win. Santana is 7-2 with an ERA of 1.80 and recorded his second shutout of the year and 10th of his career. The right-hander gave up just two...

Twins' Ervin Santana blanks O's on two hits in 2-0 victory
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana began tonight with a road ERA of 0.45 through three starts on the year away from Target Field. Tonight he lowered it. Using a low-to-mid-90s fastball and a very effective three-pitch mix, Santana threw a complete-game two-hitter at the Orioles in the Twins' 2-0 win, besting Dylan Bundy in a pitchers' duel. Santana needed just 105 pitches to record his second shutout of the year. The earlier one was a one-hitter against the White Sox on April 15....

Now 1 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East, and with eight losses their past 11 games, the Orioles (25-19) host Minnesota tonight in the second game of a three-game series.

Jonathan Schoop on making two key errors in two days

Jonathan Schoop on making two key errors in two days
Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop has made four errors this year, and two have come in the last two games. They were both costly in Orioles losses. In the first inning Sunday, the Orioles were shifting against Toronto's Kendrys Morales, a switch-hitter who was batting right-handed. Positioned on the left field side of second base, Schoop tried to backhand a ground ball and it just kicked out of the heel of his glove. Two batters later, Devon Travis hit a three-run homer. The Blue Jays...

As he struggles again, can O's give Jiménez more chances this time?

As he struggles again, can O's give Jiménez more chances this time?
Last year at the All-Star break, right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez was 5-9 with an ERA of 7.38. He pitched better after the break with an ERA of 2.82 that left his final season mark for 2016 at 5.44. Jiménez pitched well in some important games for the Orioles late last year. But now, as the 33-year-old veteran is struggling badly again, can the Orioles wait and wonder if a turnaround will come this time? Reporters have pointed out numerous times that Jiménez is a stand-up guy, never ducks...

Adam Jones on the lost leads and Ubaldo Jiménez on his outing
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said it was a loss. It was a lost game like other losses and the score could have been 5-3 or 7-6, he said. But this was one where the Orioles worked out to a 5-0 lead in the second tonight and watched another lead evaporate. And then they got hammered 14-7 by the Twins on a night when starter Ubaldo Jiménez could not an out in the fifth inning and O's pitchers allowed 21 hits. It only counts as one loss and that might be the only good news to come out of...
