Chris Tillman's first-inning struggles and other notes

Chris Tillman's first-inning struggles and other notes
CHICAGO - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman pitches the series finale in Chicago this afternoon. He will try to avoid allowing a first-inning run for the first time since May 19. He has allowed one or more runs in the first inning of his past four starts. He's allowed 13 runs in the first and over his past four starts, 13 of the 21 runs he has allowed have come in that inning. If he could just get through the first. "It's not like he goes out there and says, 'Que sera, sera?' " manager...

Castillo's grand slam leads O's past Chicago (quotes added)

Castillo's grand slam leads O's past Chicago (quotes added)
CHICAGO - The Orioles flipped the script tonight. Even though starter Dylan Bundy gave up five early runs as they fell behind by four, this time their offense bailed them out. Catcher Welington Castillo hit his first career grand slam as the Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 10-6 to snap a six-game losing streak and an 11-game road losing streak. They get back to the .500 mark at 32-32. The Orioles scored nine runs in the fourth through the sixth innings, but Castillo had the game's biggest...

Scott Coolbaugh's son drafted by the Orioles (O's lead 10-5)
CHICAGO - This doesn't happen every day. The Orioles drafted a player this afternoon who was already in their clubhouse when he was selected. In the 36th round, the Orioles took shortstop Tyler Coolbaugh from Angelo State (Texas) University. He is the son of their hitting coach, Scott Coolbaugh and is with his dad here in Chicago. The elder Coolbaugh said he was working in the batting cage when his son saw his name on the MLB.com coverage. At about that same time he got a congratulatory text...

David Washington is getting ready to make his major league debut
CHICAGO - On his first day in the big leagues David Washington will make his major league debut. The Orioles selected his contract today, and then manager Buck Showalter selected him to bat eighth as the DH. Washington admitted he's a bit of a nervous wreck right now, but he'll try to channel the nerves and emotions as best as he can. "It's crazy," Washington said. "My mind is going about a million miles per hour right now. Very excited. I've been a bit of a wreck. Trying to get...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy on the mound in Chicago

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy on the mound in Chicago
CHICAGO - Will this be the night for the Orioles? The night they end a six-game losing streak and an 11-game road losing streak that is tied for the second-longest in team history? And what will it take? Maybe a starter pitching a great game or maybe a breakout by an offense that has scored three runs or fewer five times in the last six games. After a rain delay of well over an hour, tonight's game is slated to start at about 9:40 p.m. ET. Tonight right-hander Dylan Bundy (6-5, 3.05 ERA) will...

Trying to avoid a club record road losing streak

Trying to avoid a club record road losing streak
CHICAGO - Now a team with a losing record for the first time since the next to last day of the 2015 season, the Orioles continue to search for answers. They are just not finding many. Whether it is another starter that doesn't get deep in a game or another night of missed chances on offense, a lot continues to go wrong for a team that once was 12 games over .500. But now the Orioles are 31-32 and much closer to last place than first. Last night's White Sox starter, left-hander Derek Holland,...

Wrapping up a loss that dropped the Orioles under .500

Wrapping up a loss that dropped the Orioles under .500
CHICAGO - At this point, the players are probably running out of answers and the reporters are a bit weary of having to ask the same questions. But we heard more of both tonight after the Orioles' latest loss. The Orioles lost 6-1 to the Chicago White Sox as starter Alec Asher gave up a grand slam and the offense could not cash in on numerous scoring chances. At 31-32, the Orioles are a team with a losing record for the first time since they were 80-81 on Oct. 3, 2015. The road losing streak...

O's fall in Chicago as road losing streak reaches 11 games

O's fall in Chicago as road losing streak reaches 11 games
CHICAGO - Another night when a starter struggled, but at least it took longer this time. One pitch was pivotal, and so were several missed chances on offense. The Orioles took a sixth straight loss tonight, falling to the Chicago White Sox by a 6-1 score as they fall under .500, at 31-32. They have a losing record for the first time since they were 80-81 on Oct. 3, 2015. The Orioles have now lost 11 consecutive road games. That ties for the second-longest streak in team history. The 1954...

The search for rotation help (O's trail 6-1)

The search for rotation help (O's trail 6-1)
CHICAGO - With a rotation ERA that has now ballooned to 5.27 to rank last in the American League, the Orioles have some improving to do there. Coming into tonight's second game of this series against the White Sox, Orioles starters have pitched to a 15.56 ERA the past six games, and a 6.70 ERA while the team has gone 9-21 since its 22-10 start. Will the club look for reinforcement outside the organization? Manger Buck Showalter, not surprisingly, would not bite on that one today. "That's not...

Buck Showalter updates Chris Davis' status, plus other notes

Buck Showalter updates Chris Davis' status, plus other notes
CHICAGO - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is headed for the 10-day disabled list but just not yet. For now, Davis is headed back to Baltimore after an MRI here this morning showed a Grade I right oblique injury. This is on the lesser scale, but it appears that Davis still could miss several weeks. The Orioles are expected to replace Davis with Norfolk first baseman David Washington, but Showalter would not confirm that yet. Washington was scratched from Norfolk's lineup today and the...

Trey Mancini on playing first base tonight

Trey Mancini on playing first base tonight
CHICAGO - Just when Trey Mancini started to get this left field thing down and was doing well with the glove out there, he is moving back to first base. At least for tonight, and we'll see for how long. With Chris Davis not starting tonight and possibly headed for the disabled list with what is apparently an oblique injury, Mancini is starting tonight at first base, his original position. "I've been playing there my whole life," he said this afternoon. "In going out to the outfield it's...

CHICAGO - The Orioles try to end two losing streaks while also trying to avoid falling under the .500 mark here tonight. After last night's 10-7 loss, the Orioles (31-31) play the White Sox in the second game of a four-game series. During a five-game losing skid, the Orioles have been outscored 54-16.

When will it end? The slide of O's rotation continued last night

When will it end? The slide of O's rotation continued last night
CHICAGO - The Orioles were 22-10 and playing great baseball. They had a winning percentage of .688 and were on a 111-win pace. We knew that could not continue to that extent, but just over a month after that hot start, the O's could be under .500 with a loss tonight. This has not been a slump, this has been a collapse of a pitching staff. Sure, the offense shares blame, too. But right now, the rotation's shortcomings are glaring. Since that start where the O's got 12 games over .500 they are...

Hearing from O's scouting director Gary Rajsich and DL Hall
CHICAGO - In a bit of a surprise, with many analysts expecting the Orioles to take a college player in the first round, they selected a high-school, left-handed pitcher with their No. 21 overall selection Monday night in the First-Year Player Draft. The O's selected DL Hall from Valdosta (Ga.) High School with the pick that began what will be 41 selections over three days for the Orioles. Hall throws a fastball that sits between 92 and 95 mph, touching 96, along with a curveball and changeup....

Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts

Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts
CHICAGO - As the losses mount, so does the frustration. That was clear tonight as O's starter Wade Miley pointed the finger at himself after the Orioles' 10-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox. And then he kept blaming himself. Miley suffered his second straight short start, allowing six runs and six hits over 2 1/3 innings. By the end of the fourth, the Orioles had fallen into an 8-3 hole. O's starters have an ERA of 15.56 the past six games. The team has lost 10 straight on the road. They...

O's dig early hole, lose fifth straight to fall to .500
CHICAGO - It was one thing for the Orioles to lose big to the first-place New York Yankees. Not that it was acceptable, but the Yanks are a hot team with the second-best record in the league. But tonight the Orioles trailed big early and then lost 10-7 in Chicago to a White Sox team that began today with the American League's worst record. Chicago knocked O's starter Wade Miley out during a four-run third inning on its way to the win at Guaranteed Rate Field to start a four-game series. On...

Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty

Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty
CHICAGO - Manager Buck Showalter, who almost always proceeds with caution when talking about players returning from injury, was not ready to pronounce third baseman Manny Machado officially yet back in the lineup when he met with reporters here earlier. Machado is in the posted lineup, but the skipper said he needs to make sure Machado gets through batting practice fine. That is the expectation. What will it mean to have him back? "We're capable of winning with and without him but it...
