Trumbo on his future, Kim on outfield incident and more

Trumbo on his future, Kim on outfield incident and more
TORONTO - He led the major leagues in home runs this year and hit another one last night. It was the only swing that produced any runs in the Orioles' 11-inning 5-2 walk-off loss to the Blue Jays. Mark Trumbo hit a two-run shot off Marcus Storman in the fourth inning in his first career playoff game. The shot down the left field line gave the Orioles a 2-1 lead they could not hold. Edwin Encarnacion's three-run blast on a 92 mph Ubaldo Jimenez fastball ended the game and the Orioles'...

Clubhouse reaction as the Orioles' season comes to an end

Clubhouse reaction as the Orioles' season comes to an end
TORONTO - The Orioles' season ended in heartbreaking fashion for players and fans alike tonight. Edwin Encarnacion's first-pitch, three-run homer was a walk-off winner 5-2 for Toronto. A sellout crowd of 49.934 cheered on as Toronto now advances to meet Texas in the American League Division Series. After 89 wins, a tie for second in the AL East and their third playoff appearance in three years, the Orioles' season comes to screeching halt at Rogers Centre. On a night when the Orioles and...

Encarnacion with walk-off homer as O's season ends

Encarnacion with walk-off homer as O's season ends
TORONTO - What a tough way for a season to end. Edwin Encarnacion's first-pitch three-run homer to left off Ubaldo Jimenez gave the Toronto Blue Jays a 5-2 walk-off win over the Orioles in the bottom of the 11th tonight. The Orioles' season is over and Toronto advances to face Texas. Tied 2-2, Brian Duensing, the sixth Orioles pitcher, struck out Ezequiel Carrera. Then Jimenez, who blanked Toronto for 6 2/3 innings last Thursday came on. He allowed singles to Devin Travis and Josh Donaldson...

A few comments from Toronto manager John Gibbons' press conference

A few comments from Toronto manager John Gibbons' press conference
TORONTO - When the Orioles played the Blue Jays in Toronto last week, the Orioles took two of three and outscored the Blue Jays 8-7. But these teams have also played some shootouts over the years, too. In a four-game series in Toronto in June the Blue Jays outscored the Orioles 30-24. Who knows what kind of game we'll see tonight when Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.77 ERA) faces right-hander Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37 ERA) in the American League wild card game. During his press conference this...

Mancini is enjoying the ride (plus other notes)

Mancini is enjoying the ride (plus other notes)
TORONTO - When the Orioles made their initial callups in September, Triple-A Norfolk first baseman Trey Mancini was not among them. But he did get the call to Baltimore on Sept. 18 and then he hit a homer in each of first three major league starts. Now he finds himself on the roster for a major league playoff game. When I interviewed him in the clubhouse before yesterday's workout, he didn't know yet if had made the roster. I asked him how he would feel if he did make it for tonight's wild...

Adam Jones: Playoff appearance is organization-wide success

Adam Jones: Playoff appearance is organization-wide success
TORONTO - The Orioles came up short in their bid to win the American League East this season, but they are back in the playoffs for the third time in five years. They lead the American League with 443 wins since the 2012 season. For O's center fielder Adam Jones, that is an organization-wide success that goes beyond just the players. "Through 162, we put ourselves in a position to extend our season," Jones said. "I'm proud of every guy in this clubhouse. And not just the players, our...

Chris Tillman on getting the wild card game start

Chris Tillman on getting the wild card game start
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman may not have strong career numbers against the Toronto Blue Jays or at Rogers Centre, but he has pitched well in Toronto twice this season and he was selected by manager Buck Showalter to get the start in the wild card game on Tuesday night. "Excited," Tillman said about his matchup with Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman. "I think everyone's different. And I think the situation's different with everyone, for sure. You know, I take every game...

Can winning 2012 wild card game help O's now? (Trumbo on home run title)

Can winning 2012 wild card game help O's now? (Trumbo on home run title)
TORONTO - It was four years ago tomorrow that the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 at the Ballpark in Arlington to win the first-ever wild card game. Now the Orioles are back again and on the road again. This time against the Toronto Blue Jays at 8:08 p.m. on Tuesday night. O's catcher Matt Wieters, who homered from both sides of the plate Sunday at New York, played in that game in 2012. So he knows the feeling of taking the field in a one-and-done scenario. "It's Game 7 right from the...

O's better play recently at Rogers Centre could be big in wild card game

O's better play recently at Rogers Centre could be big in wild card game
The prospect of playing a winner-take-all wild card game at Rogers Centre at one time might have been a dicey one for both the Orioles and their fans. But while the Orioles had a losing record in that ballpark this year - going 4-6 - the Orioles just won a series last week in Toronto and they are 3-1 in their last four games there allowing two, five, two and zero runs. That is nine runs over the last four games. The wild card game there tomorrow might turn out to be a pitching rematch of last...

They won and got it done: O's beat New York to clinch wild card spot

They won and got it done: O's beat New York to clinch wild card spot
The Orioles took care of their baseball business today in the Bronx. They could win and get in. They won. The Orioles' 5-2 win over the New York Yankees this afternoon sends the Orioles to the playoffs for the third time in the last five seasons. They finished the regular season at 89-73 (.549) and will play in the American League wild card game. They used strong starting pitching and the longball to lead the way today. Matt Wieters became the first Oriole since Roberto Alomar on July 25, 1996...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman on the mound for Game 162
With a win, they're in. That is the scenario today for the Orioles (88-74) as the play the New York Yankees (84-77) in Game 162. A victory will put the Orioles into the American League wild card game. If they lose they'll be in if Detroit loses at Atlanta. At the same time, the chance of a three-way tie for two wild card spots still exists. That would happen if the Orioles and Blue Jays lose today and Detroit wins two games, one today and one makeup game tomorrow. But the Orioles would like...

O's loss opened door for Toronto and they walked through

O's loss opened door for Toronto and they walked through
Well, the Orioles' loss on Saturday afternoon at New York opened the door for the Toronto Blue Jays and they charged through it last night at Fenway Park. After Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna balked in a run in the last of the eighth that tied that game 3-3, the Jays pushed one across in the ninth off Boston's closer. Craig Kimbrel issued a leadoff walk, a sac bunt, a wild pitch and sac fly as Toronto beat the Red Sox 4-3. Now both the Orioles and Blue Jays are 88-73 and sit atop the wild...

One that got away: O's lose lead, critical game at New York
They had an early three-run lead and looked to be moving closer toward clinching a wild card spot. But looks can be deceiving. The Orioles blew a lead and a game today and now we wait to find out just how damaging it all was. The Yankees rallied for a 7-3 win today and the Orioles can't clinch a postseason berth tonight. This loss now opens the door for Toronto to once again tie them for the first wild card which would give the Blue Jays the wild card home game if they are tied for that spot...

O's game blog: Wade Miley is on the mound in the Bronx
Coming off a September where they went 16-11, producing the third-best record in the American League, the Orioles try to begin October with a win today at New York. If they do, they'll take a major step toward clinching a wild card playoff spot, something they could do tonight if Toronto loses to Boston or Detroit loses to Atlanta. In fact, the Orioles' path today to clinching the first wild card is to win and get a Blue Jays loss. That would ensure the Orioles host the wild card game next...

The O's make their playoff push led by rejuvenated rotation

The O's make their playoff push led by rejuvenated rotation
While it had to be a most welcome sight to Orioles fans to see their team's offense breakout for eight runs in the win at New York last night, the starting pitcher delivered yet another solid performance. Orioles starters have been on a nice seven-game run, helping the team go 6-1 as the O's continue to rebound from that four-game home sweep against Boston that preceded this stretch. In the Boston series at Camden Yards, O's starting pitchers had an ERA of 6.38. In the seven games since that...

A few notes on the Orioles' series-opening win at New York

A few notes on the Orioles' series-opening win at New York
When the Orioles started their series at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night, they were 2-5 in that ballpark this year and then won two of three games. They need to do that or better this weekend at Yankee Stadium, where they began this series with a 2-5 record. On a rainy and miserable night in the opener of this final series of the regular season, the Orioles took care of business in the Bronx. They hit three homers, all in one inning. And Yovani Gallardo pitched a strong game. The Orioles beat...

O's game blog: Gallardo on the mound in New York series opener
The final regular season series of 2016 is here for the Orioles. They know if they sweep the Yankees this weekend in the Bronx, they will be in the American League wild card game next week. But there are still so many possible scenarios that could play out. The Orioles (87-72) and Toronto Blue Jays (87-72) begin the weekend tied for the first AL wild card. While the Orioles are playing the Yankees, Toronto will be in Boston. The Detroit Tigers, who are 1 1/2 games back of both Baltimore and...

Michael Bourn the basestealer, plus more notes and quotes from Toronto

Michael Bourn the basestealer, plus more notes and quotes from Toronto
TORONTO - Do the Orioles, easily the worst base-stealing squad in the major leagues, suddenly have a base-stealing threat? They certainly do. Michael Bourn has stolen two bases in two nights. That gives the Orioles 19 for the year (the next lowest team total in MLB is 35) and Bourn is now two shy of the team lead. Joey Rickard leads the club with four stolen bases. Bourn swiped second as a pinch-runner in the ninth Wednesday where he scored on Hyun Soo Kim's pinch-hit homer. He stole second in...

Jimenez on his outing and more clubhouse quotes from Toronto
TORONTO - Once a house of horrors for Baltimore Orioles pitchers, the O's just won a series at Rogers Centre and scored only eight runs in three games. But the Orioles pitching staff allowed just seven runs (five earned) and 18 hits in three games, capping it off with tonight's 4-0 shutout on three hits. The Orioles won the last two games of this series and leave town tied with the Blue Jays at 87-72 for the first American League wild card spot with three games to play. They pitched to an ERA...
