Seth Smith hits go-ahead homer, O's beat Yankees to go to 3-0

Seth Smith hits go-ahead homer, O's beat Yankees to go to 3-0
Sometimes a sac fly will do. But a two-run homer is better. Needing a fly ball to tie this game in the last of the seventh tonight, new Orioles outfielder Seth Smith instead delivered a go-ahead two-run homer. His first as an Oriole took the club from one run down to one up as they rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Yankees 6-5 in front of 25,248 chilled fans at Camden Yards. The Orioles have a 3-0 start and New York to falls to 1-3 in dropping the opener of a three-game series. Down...

O'Day on Bundy: "He was born to do what he's doing right now"
Counting the American League wild card game last October, the Toronto Blue Jays went 11-9 against the Orioles last year, scoring 102 runs and hitting 30 homers in the 20 games. In losing two games to begin the 2017 season at Camden Yards, Toronto scored three runs and didn't hit a single homer. The Blue Jays scored three runs over 12 1/3 innings against Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy and went 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the series.

Bundy on his outing and the win, plus other clubhouse quotes
Edwin Encarnacion delivered three runs on one swing last October, ending the Orioles' 2016 season. But in starting 2-0 this year against Toronto, O's pitchers have allowed just three runs on 18 hits over 20 innings. And the Blue Jays went 1-for-16 in the series with runners in scoring position. Dylan Bundy broke out his slider/cutter big-time tonight. He tied his career highs with seven innings and 99 pitches as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 3-1 to sweep the two-game series. Bundy gave up...

Bundy pitches a gem as O's beat Toronto 3-1
So much for Dylan Bundy's 7.41 ERA in spring training. The 24-year-old right hander threw a gem at the Toronto Blue Jays tonight as the Orioles won 3-1 to sweep the season-opening two-game series. Zach Britton recorded his 50th straight save since Oct. 1, 2015, pitching out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth. On his 24th pitch of the inning, he got Steve Pearce to ground into a game-ending double play. For the Blue Jays in the ninth, there was a lot of drama but no runs. Bundy matched career...

O's game blog: Bundy faces Jays (plus minor league rotations)
After their season-opening walk-off win over Toronto in the 11th inning Monday, the Orioles look to sweep this brief two-game series tonight at Oriole Park.

O'Day feeling better, plus notes with Rickard and Mancini
Orioles reliever Darren O'Day said he is ready to pitch tonight. After battling a severe bout with the flu bug, O'Day was pretty sure he was not going to pitch on opening day. But he was also pretty certain he was not going to need to go on the disabled list. "No, I didn't think so," he said this afternoon. "The other day, I didn't feel well, and opening day, I didn't feel well and felt like I wasn't going to pitch that day. But feeling a lot better today. I feel like myself. Ever the...

Dylan Bundy on his spring, his cutter, facing Toronto and more
For right-handers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy, their time has arrived. Ready or not, they are heading up the Orioles rotation at a time when the club will play 24 of its first 27 games against American League East competition. The two No. 4 overall draft picks (Bundy in 2011 and Gausman in 2012) provide the Orioles two homegrown young guns to top their starting five as they await Chris Tillman's return, which they hope comes next month, from the disabled list. Bundy said the two pitchers...

In first day as new O's catcher, Welington Castillo played key role

In first day as new O's catcher, Welington Castillo played key role
If catching five different pitchers over 11 innings and facing a tough lineup like the Toronto Blue Jays was a test for new O's catcher Welington Castillo, he passed. Kevin Gausman, Mychal Givens, Brad Brach, Zach Britton and Tyler Wilson gave up 11 hits but just two runs as the Orioles won on opening day, 3-2 in 11 innings. Toronto's top three hitters each got six plate appearances, making if even more difficult for the O's staff to navigate its way through that game. But the Blue Jays went...

Mark Trumbo on his walk-off homer, plus other clubhouse quotes
For the first time in team history, the Baltimore Orioles got a walk-off home run on opening day. After not hitting a spring training homer in 52 at-bats, Mark Trumbo, the 2016 Major League Baseball homer leader, hit his first of this year in his fifth at-bat. His homer to left on Jason Grilli's 1-2 slider with two outs in the last of the 11th gave the Orioles a thrilling 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Trumbo went 2-for-5, adding a double in a two-RBI day. "Pretty special. It's a whole...

Mark Trumbo with a walk-off homer as O's win in 11th
Yes, there were similarities to the American League wild card game. The Orioles and Toronto, tied 2-2, playing in extra innings. But a different team won in 11 innings this time. Mark Trumbo, who didn't homer once in spring training, blasted a shot to left on a 1-2 pitch from Jason Grilli, and the Orioles beat Toronto 3-2. This was the sixth career walk-off homer for Trumbo, who led the majors with 47 home runs in 2016. This was the ninth extra-inning Orioles opening day game, and the first...

O's 'pen should certainly be good again
We don't know how much we will see them today but the Orioles bullpen pitchers figure to be a teams strength again this year. The O's 'pen led the American League with a 3.40 ERA in 2016. Beyond the talent in their bullpen, the team also enjoys strong roster flexibility. The Orioles have a host of pitchers who can be optioned back and forth between the majors and minors and no doubt the shuttle between Baltimore, Triple-A Norfolk and Double-A Bowie will be active. Having so many optionable...

Orioles players talk about that run down the orange carpet

Orioles players talk about that run down the orange carpet
It is a tradition on opening day at Camden Yards. Some players even get nervous when they do it. They run through an entrance in the center field wall and then down the orange carpet as they get introduced during pregame ceremonies. Opening day and pomp and circumstance is on the docket for today as much as a baseball game. Reliever Brad Brach can't wait for that jog and the cheers that go with it. "It's exciting. My first year doing that, in 2015, was a special experience. It is a special...

The fans expect the players to win and the players expect to do just that. On the eve of a new season Sunday, outfielder Adam Jones said the bar has been raised in Baltimore. "Big time," Jones said. "When I first got here I don't even know if there was a bar. But now there are high expectations. Not just for the fans. I think the players understand that...

Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman seems to be finding the right balance of completing his preparation for tomorrow's opening day assignment, while at the same time realizing how exciting and special the day will be for him. While Jim Palmer and Mike Mussina have made the most opening day starts on the mound as Orioles with six each, Gausman's first is Monday afternoon against Toronto.
