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...

Orioles acquire infielder Rubén Tejada

Orioles acquire infielder Rubén Tejada
The Orioles tonight added a right-handed hitting infielder when they acquired 27-year-old Rubén Tejada from the New York Yankees for cash considerations. Tejada is not on the 40-man roster and will report to Triple-A Norfolk. He can play second, third and shortstop. A veteran of 616 major league games since 2010, Tejada was playing at Triple-A Scranton this season. In 37 games, he is batting .269/.345/.462 with seven doubles, six homers, 21 RBIs and an OPS of .806. He posted strong stats...

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

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

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. It is all about helping families dealing with an Alzheimer's disease or dementia patient. Mike's mom is dealing with this now and the Wright family wants to educate and help other families that may have to deal with such a situation. Wright hopes that money raised can go toward hosting a conference this summer in...

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)

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...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces David Price at Camden Yards
As the Orioles and Red Sox play Game 3 of a four-game series tonight, a marquee pitching matchup is being featured at Camden Yards. Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.89 ERA) faces 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner David Price (0-0, 5.40 ERA). Price is making his second start of the year, coming back from elbow issues which delayed his start to the season. In Chicago on Monday, he pitched five innings against the White Sox, giving up two hits and three runs on 88 pitches. In two...

O's Brad Brach on his latest save and club's strong AL East record

O's Brad Brach on his latest save and club's strong AL East record
Orioles reliever Brad Brach is getting locked in again. Over his last five outings, he has pitched five hitless and scoreless innings, with American League hitters going 0-for-15 against him with seven strikeouts. Last night, Brach saved the Orioles' 3-2 win over Boston with an 1-2-3 top of the ninth on just 11 pitches. He threw nothing but fastballs between 95 and 97 mph to get Andrew Benintendi to fly out on one pitch and Xander Bogaerts to do the same on six pitches. But then he threw three...

O's Trey Mancini has been an impressive all-fields hitter

O's Trey Mancini has been an impressive all-fields hitter
The Orioles' Trey Mancini had two very different months to begin this season. In April, he hit five homers in 51 at-bats, but his batting average was .216. In May he hit two homers in 73 at-bats, but his batting average was .342. The longer he plays a picture is emerging of a pretty well-rounded hitter. One that is hitting for a good batting average (.297 in 140 plate appearances) while also showing the ability to hit the ball to all fields. This spray chart shows that Mancini is driving the...

Manny Machado on long homer, Alec Asher on outing and ovation

Manny Machado on long homer, Alec Asher on outing and ovation
On the night he blasted a 465-foot home run into the second deck at Camden Yards, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado said right-hander Alec Asher was the biggest key to a 3-2 win over Boston. "We won the game because of how Alec went out there and did his job. He pitched a helluva game and kept us in the game," Machado said. Asher did indeed pitch a strong game, allowing two runs and three hits over 6 1/3 innings to get his second O's win. The offense gave him an early 2-0 lead on first...

Alec Asher pitches the Orioles past Boston 3-2
Well, giving right-hander Alec Asher another start turned out to be a pretty good thought by the Orioles. Rebounding from Sunday's outing, where he allowed six runs over two innings at Houston, Asher pitched the Orioles to a 3-2 win over Boston tonight in front of 33,193 at Camden Yards Retiring the side in order four times, Asher went 6 1/3 innings allowing three hits and two runs, one of which scored after he left the game. He did not walk a batter and fanned five. Asher is now 2-3 with an...

O's game blog: Alec Asher gets the start in Game 2 versus Boston
It won't get them a prize or anything or have much meaning on June 2, but the Orioles could move past Boston into second in the AL East standings with a win tonight. They hit four homers in beating the Red Sox 7-5 last night to open a four-game series. The Yankees lead Boston by three games and the Orioles by 3 1/2 atop the division. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, last night marked the fifth game this season in which the Orioles hit at least four home runs, tied with the Astros and...

Notes on the offense and O's strong play in AL East

Notes on the offense and O's strong play in AL East
For the Orioles offense, there was no June swoon last year. The opposite, in fact. The Orioles went 19-9 last June despite a team ERA that was 4.85. They did it with offense. A lot of it. They began June 2017 with a lot of offense. The Orioles hit four homers last night in a 7-5 win over Boston. Can the Orioles have another big June with the bats? Let's look at last year. O's batting for the year: .256 average, .317 OBP, .443 slugging, 4.59 runs/gm, 1.56 homers/game O's batting last June:...

Trumbo and Schoop on the offense, Miley on his outing
In the seven games that preceeded Wednesday's game, the Orioles scored 15 total runs and were shut out twice. The last two nights they've bashed six homers, scoring 17 runs in back-to-back wins over the Yankees and Red Sox. The Orioles hit four homers tonight off former O's farmhand Eduardo Rodriguez as they bashed their way to a 7-5 win in the series opener against Boston. Mark Trumbo's two-run homer in the first off a 93 mph Rodriguez fastball got the bashing started and provided Wade...

O's mash four homers and beat Boston 7-5 in series opener
This was no way to treat a former teammate. Or maybe it was the best way to treat an American League East rival. Former Orioles minor league left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez was pounded for four homers tonight, as the Orioles beat the Red Sox 7-5 to open a four-game series at Camden Yards. After going through a seven-game stretch where the Orioles hit .199 as a team and scored 2.1 runs per game, they've scored 17 the last two nights against Yankees and Red Sox pitchers. The Red Sox turned a...

O's game blog: Wade Miley pitches series opener against Boston
For the fourth time this season, the Orioles are playing the Boston Red Sox. They open a four-game series tonight that runs through Sunday at Oriole Park. The Orioles split two games in Boston in early April and later in the month took two of three in Baltimore. They played four in Boston May 1-4 and split that series at Fenway Park. The Orioles are 5-4 against the Red Sox for the season, 2-1 at home. Since the 2012 season, they are 59-44 (.573). At home since the start of the 2016 season, the...

Asher on getting another start, Joseph on catching E-Rod
After his short outing in Houston on Sunday, right-hander Alec Asher had to wait a couple of days to find out if he would get another chance in the Orioles rotation. He will. Asher will start at Camden Yards on Friday night against Boston. "It's great. It was disappointing what happened that last start. It happens, but I'll go back out there tomorrow and go at it again," he said this afternoon. Asher threw 54 pitches Sunday at Minute Maid Park, gaving up six hits, six runs and one homer as...
