Aberdeen manager Kevin Bradshaw on the 2017 IronBirds
ABERDEEN, Md. - While Orioles All-Star closer Zach Britton is expected to throw the first pitch and inning of their season tonight, after that the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds will try to win without major league help. A veteran of many seasons as a manger in the Detroit Tigers organization, Kevin Bradshaw is back for his second season as manager at Aberdeen. After a rainout last night, the IronBirds open their New York-Penn League season tonight at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium...

O's making progress with draft pick signings (plus other notes)
An MLB source said the Orioles are making very solid progress in negotiations with a large group of their 41 draft picks. In fact, some of the signings will soon be announced, perhaps as early as today. The Orioles are said to be making progress with some of their highest-drafted players. They do have an agreement in place with their fifth-round pick, outfielder Lamar Sparks from Seven Lakes (Tx.) High School. He has agreed to a bonus for the slot amount of $304,800.

More on Mancini, the offense and the bullpen (plus farm notes)

More on Mancini, the offense and the bullpen (plus farm notes)
The weather got warmer and for at least for two days, so did the Orioles bats. Prior to Saturday's win, the Orioles had scored three runs or less in 10 of their 14 previous games. But now in back-to-back games they have plated 23 runs on 26 hits with five doubles, two triples and nine home runs. They went 9-for-18 with runners in scoring position. The Orioles scored in five of their eight at-bats on Saturday and five of eight yesterday with runners in scoring position. Veteran St. Louis...

Trumbo's praise for Mancini and other postgame quotes

Trumbo's praise for Mancini and other postgame quotes
The baseball was carrying today at Camden Yards. But the Orioles were able to outscore St. Louis 8-5 on a day when both teams hit four homers. Several Orioles had impressive days on offense, but after his three-RBI day that included a two-run homer, veteran Mark Trumbo threw some nice praise the way of rookie Trey Mancini. Mancini flicked his wrist at a 94 mph Lance Lynn fastball and drove it over the right-field wall in the second inning. He hammered his first career triple to center in the...

O's bash four more homers, beat St. Louis to win series

O's bash four more homers, beat St. Louis to win series
For the Orioles, the homers kept coming today - and that often means a nice runs total and a win. It did today, as the Orioles hit the longball four times in an 8-5 victory over St. Louis to take the series, two games to one. On Saturday, the Orioles bashed four homers in the first four innings and five on the game. Today, they hit four more - all in the first five innings. Seth Smith, Trey Mancini and Welington Castillo hit solo homers and Mark Trumbo added a two-run shot. The Orioles hit 10...

J.J. Hardy on offense breaking out and his own contribution

J.J. Hardy on offense breaking out and his own contribution
In an attempt to get back to winning baseball after an extended run of losing, the Orioles beat the Chicage White Sox 10-6 Wednesday night. But they lost the next day and then they lost the series opener 11-2 Friday at home against St. Louis. But they posted a 15-7 win on Saturday over the Cardinals. Will that be the win that sparks this team? After yesterday's game, I asked shortstop J.J. Hardy what the team needs to do to get on a roll moving forward. "I think (we can) build off of this,"...

Jonathan Schoop homers twice, offense breaks out (quotes added)
Whether they were taking out several weeks worth of frustrations or just hammering a pitcher having a bad day, either way, the struggling Orioles will gladly take it. Having lost eight of their previous nine games, they battered right-hander Adam Wainwright today for nine runs and seven hits over 1 2/3 innings as the Orioles beat St. Louis 15-7 to even this three-game series. A pitcher that has seen much better days, the O's got to Wainwright for two runs in the first and seven in the second...

Mike Wright updates his status, talks about stay on the DL

Mike Wright updates his status, talks about stay on the DL
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said right-hander Mike Wright got a cortisone injection yesterday. He was put on the 10-day DL on Friday with right shoulder bursitis, retroactive to Thursday. Wright is eligible to return on June 25, but it will probably be longer than that before he is back on the active roster. In six games with the Orioles, Wright is 0-0 with a 5.56 ERA. Over 11 1/3 innings he allowed 11 hits and seven runs with one walk and 14 strikeouts. Wright pitched two scoreless innings...

O's Gary Rajsich on the draft and top pick DL Hall

O's Gary Rajsich on the draft and top pick DL Hall
When the First-Year Player Draft began on Monday night, Orioles scouting director Gary Rajsich did not expect the first round to end with high school left-handed pitcher DL Hall being selected by the Orioles. He expected Hall to be gone by the time the Orioles selected at No. 21. But Hall wasn't gone and the Orioles gladly pulled the trigger on a pitcher that they clearly had very highly ranked and were delighted to get. Rajsich explained how it all went down. "We targeted pitching and...

O's game blog: Orioles host St. Louis as homestand begins
The Orioles have returned home and now we find out if some wins will return for them as well. They are 21-10 at home and 11-23 on the road. During a 1-7 road trip, the Orioles were outscored 71-29. They averaged 3.6 runs per game but had a team ERA of 9.14 and a starters ERA of 12.53 on the trip. According to STATS, LLC., the last time the Orioles had a road trip of at least eight games with one or less win was July 1-10, 2011, when Baltimore went 1-9 on a 10-game road trip to Atlanta (1-2),...

Kevin Gausman makes adjustments to try and turn around his season

Kevin Gausman makes adjustments to try and turn around his season
CHICAGO - Last season, Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman went 9-12 with a 3.61 ERA. Now his ERA is nearly three runs higher. In the second-half of the 2016 season, Gausman went 8-6 with a 3.10 ERA. From Aug. 23 to Sept. 14, Gausman pitched four scoreless starts in five games, going 4-0 with a 0.82 ERA. He came up big for the team down the stretch. It looked like he was finally moving toward becoming that homegrown top-of-the-rotation starter the Orioles have long tried to develop. But this...

Wrapping up another loss and a 1-7 road trip

Wrapping up another loss and a 1-7 road trip
CHICAGO - The Orioles had a chance to at least end a disappointing road trip on a good note today. But they could not do it. The White Sox scored four runs in the last of the sixth to break a 1-1 tie and beat the Orioles 5-2 in front of 20,139 at Gauranteed Rate Field. A White Sox team that began this series having lost nine of 11 just took three of four from the Orioles. The O's head back to Baltimore tonight where at least they have played well this year. This road trip was a 1-7 disaster...

O's lose series finale in Chicago to end a brutal 1-7 road trip
CHICAGO - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman kept getting into and out of jams, but he finally broke. We've seen this a lot lately from Orioles pitching. Chicago scored four runs off Tillman in the last of the sixth, with some wildness from right-handed reliever Jimmy Yacabonis thrown in, as the White Sox beat the Orioles 5-2. The Sox take three of four in this series at Guaranteed Rate Field. With the loss, the Orioles are back under .500 at 32-33. They completed a 1-7 road trip and have lost...

Showalter on Machado's loud outs, plus a game update
CHICAGO - In the game here last night, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado had a loud 1-for-5 night. He singled in the sixth, but could have had three other hits in the Orioles' 10-6 win. That is noteworthy since Machado is trying to get his bat going. He is 4-for-13 in this series, returning Monday from missing four games with a strained left wrist and sore hand after getting spiked in the series at home against Pittsburgh. Manager Buck Showalter noted this morning how Machado struck several...

Mike Wright dealing with shoulder soreness
CHICAGO - The Orioles will be one pitcher short in their bullpen today for the series finale against the White Sox. Manager Buck Showalter told reporters that right-hander Mike Wright felt some shoulder soreness after the game last night. He is unavailable today. He pitched two scoreless innings in the win over the White Sox. But he gave up some hard-hit balls in the sixth and seventh innings. Wright has a 5.56 ERA in six games and 11 1/3 innings.

O's game blog: Tillman on the mound in series finale
CHICAGO - As Chris Tillman tries to begin to pitch better for the Orioles, he needs to start at the start. Tillman (1-4, 8.01 ERA) has allowed a first-inning ERA of 16.71 on the season. Over seven first innings, he has given up 13 runs and 16 hits, including four of his seven homers. Tillman has made seven 2017 starts. He did not allow a run in the first inning of his first three. But now, over his last four starts, he was scored on each time in the first inning. In those games, he allowed 13...
