Feeling a draft: The Orioles have four of the top 100 selections

Feeling a draft: The Orioles have four of the top 100 selections
After he heads out to scout an NCAA regional tournament this weekend, Orioles scouting director Gary Rajsich will head to the warehouse at Camden Yards for about a week's worth of meetings leading up to another First-Year Player Draft. This will be Rajsich's sixth draft with the Orioles. He took right-hander Kevin Gausman with his initial first-round pick (No. 4 overall) in 2012 and right-hander Cody Sedlock (No. 27 overall) with his top pick last June. He has taken pitchers with four of his...

O's game blog: Gausman faces Tanaka in series finale (O's win 10-4)

O's game blog: Gausman faces Tanaka in series finale (O's win 10-4)
The Orioles face Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (5-4, 5.86 ERA) tonight in the third and final game of this series between AL East rivals. Tonight's game will start at 7:15 p.m. after a very short rain delay. Tanaka has had a wild last three starts. Before he pitched on Friday against Oakland and threw very well, he had back-to-back terrible starts versus Houston and Tampa Bay. In those two games he gave up 16 hits and 14 runs and allowed a staggering seven home runs in just 4 2/3...

For the Orioles, the recent hitting and pitching stats are equally bad

For the Orioles, the recent hitting and pitching stats are equally bad
When trying to size up whether the pitching or offense has been the bigger issue during a run where the Orioles are 1-8, it is a tough choice. Both have been poor. Let's start with the pitching and start with the starters. Over the last eight games, the rotation ERA is 7.09 and O's pitchers have thrown five or fewer innings five times. While Dylan Bundy gave the team seven strong innings Monday night, Alec Asher went just two innings in the game that preceded that and Chris Tillman 2 2/3...

Chris Tillman says he is physically fine after start against Yankees

Chris Tillman says he is physically fine after start against Yankees
As his ERA went up and his usual number of innings pitched went down tonight, one obvious question for Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman was about his shoulder. He didn't make his first start this season until May 7. Tonight he gave up seven hits and five runs over 2 2/3 innings as the New York Yankees hammered the Orioles 8-3 to drop Baltimore 4 1/2 games out in the American League East. Tillman got a platelet-rich plasma injection in his shoulder in December and a cortisone injection in...

Chris Tillman knocked out early as Yankees win 8-3

Chris Tillman knocked out early as Yankees win 8-3
It had to be at least a bit concerning to the Orioles when Chris Tillman gave up four early runs in his last start against Minnesota and lasted just five innings. But he had a rougher outing tonight. Tillman gave up solo homers to two of the first three batters he faced and allowed five runs over 2 2/3 innings. The Yankees went on to an 8-3 win to even the series at a victory each. Brett Gardner and Matt Holliday each hit two solo homers as New York scored two in the first, one in the second,...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Yankees at Camden Yards
The Orioles tonight host the New York Yankees in the second game of a three-game series. Monday's 3-2 win ended the Orioles' seven-game losing streak and a seven-game losing streak in one-run decisions. At 29-19, New York is leading the American League East by three games over Boston, 3 1/2 games over Baltimore, four games over Tampa Bay and 6 1/2 games over Toronto. The Orioles are 4-3 versus the Yankees for the season and 9-5 since last Aug. 28. The Orioles have won 10 straight home series...

Logan Verrett on riding the shuttle and his slider usage

Logan Verrett on riding the shuttle and his slider usage
When 26-year-old right-hander Logan Verrett was selected by the Orioles in the December 2014 Rule 5 draft, he had hopes of making the O's roster for the 2015 season. But he didn't make it to opening day that year and wasn't on the opening day roster this year, either. But he was recalled Sunday from Triple-A Norfolk for the third time this year. After staying just one day for the first time (recalled April 30) and four days the second (recalled May 6), maybe his stay will be longer now. He...

A look at Dylan Bundy's strong record against the AL East

A look at Dylan Bundy's strong record against the AL East
So we could look at plenty of stats this year that show us that right-hander Dylan Bundy is having a big season for the Orioles. As he pitched the club past the Yankees Monday with bullpen help from Darren O'Day and Brad Brach, Bundy improved to 6-3 with a 2.89 ERA. But how about Bundy's 2017 stats in his seven starts versus American League East teams? Well, they are great. He is 5-1 with a 1.93 ERA in those outings, which include three against Boston, two versus Toronto and one outing each...

Wrapping up a 3-2 win and the end of a losing streak

Wrapping up a 3-2 win and the end of a losing streak
You could not actually see it, but no doubt some weight was lifted off the collective shoulders of about 25 Orioles players here this afternoon. They ended a seven-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the New York Yankees in front of 40,242 at Camden Yards. Reporters have trudged over to reliever Darren O'Day's locker in the last two weeks under less happy occasions, as he duly noted. "First of all, it's nice to be talking to you guys without us losing the game. I appreciate the...

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)
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
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,...

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...
