Ubaldo Jimenez with a gem as O's tie for first AL wild card

Ubaldo Jimenez with a gem as O's tie for first AL wild card
TORONTO - Pitching in a ballpark where he lasted just 1/3 of an inning in June and where Orioles pitchers had allowed 54 runs in nine games this year, right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez delivered a gem tonight for the O's. The right-hander, who earlier this year lost his rotation spot as his ERA ballooned to 7.06, gave up just one single over 6 2/3 scoreless innings as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 4-0 at Rogers Centre. They silenced a sellout crowd of 47,791. The win leaves the Orioles and Toronto...

Showalter on Kim's success as pinch-hitter (O's lead 4-0)

Showalter on Kim's success as pinch-hitter (O's lead 4-0)
TORONTO - In discussing last night's win again before the game tonight, Orioles manager Buck Showalter was asked what makes Hyun Soo Kim a good pinch-hitter. His two-run pinch-hit homer last night gave the Orioles the 3-2 lead in the ninth inning. Kim is now 6-for-9 with a double, homer and two RBIs as a pinch-hitter, slugging 1.111 with an OPS of 1.838. "I think he is a pretty mechanically sound guy and he doesn't get out of whack too much," Showalter said. "He's had such good work...

O's game blog: It's Jimenez against Stroman in series finale

O's game blog: It's Jimenez against Stroman in series finale
TORONTO - After last night's dramatic comeback win, the Orioles can win this series and tie the Blue Jays for the first American League wild card with a victory tonight at Rogers Centre. While the Orioles have won four of their last five games, they have scored just 15 runs in those games and they've managed to win several low-scoring games while waiting for their offense to come around. There isn't much time left to do that - four games in fact. Over the last 11 games, the Orioles have...

O's line up Gausman for Sunday, Bundy could pitch in 'pen in N.Y.

O's line up Gausman for Sunday, Bundy could pitch in 'pen in N.Y.
TORONTO - The Orioles have lined up right-hander Kevin Gausman to pitch the regular season finale on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. That would be after Yovani Gallardo gets the start on Friday and Wade Miley on Saturday. Gallardo left Toronto today to fly to New York in advance of Friday's start. Manager Buck Showalter today indicated Gausman is Sunday's starter, but was not ready to make that official just yet. "He's a candidate for Sunday. See how things progress each day, but he's preparing...

Brian Duensing talks about getting key out in O's Wednesday win

Brian Duensing talks about getting key out in O's Wednesday win
TORONTO - Left-handed reliever Brian Duensing has only thrown 12 1/3 innings in 13 games for the Orioles. But he was on the mound last night in one of the biggest spots of the year. Toronto, leading 2-1, had the bases loaded and two outs in the last of the eighth with Orioles killer Michael Saunders coming up. Manager Buck Showalter turned to Duensing for a left-on-left matchup, but the Blue Jays pinch-hit with right-handed batter Melvin Upton Jr. Duensing struck him out to keep the Orioles...

More notes and quotes from one of the biggest wins of the year

More notes and quotes from one of the biggest wins of the year
TORONTO - The Orioles still are not coming up with the clutch hits with runners in scoring position very often and they are not producing many runs. But they did produce a huge win last night. Yep, they were resilient again. Just as talk was heating up that the Orioles were playing their way out of the postseason, they came up with two huge home runs to stun the Toronto Blue Jays. Through seven innings Wednesday night, the Orioles were being shutout. To that point in this series, they were...

Hyun Soo Kim on pinch-hit homer and other clubhouse quotes

Hyun Soo Kim on pinch-hit homer and other clubhouse quotes
TORONTO - Maybe it is too dramatic to say the Orioles' season hung in the balance. But maybe it is not. What happens over the next four games and throughout October may truly tell us how huge their 3-2 win over the Blue Jays was at Rogers Centre tonight. Just when it looked like the struggling Orioles offense would fall short in a key game yet again, it had just enough tonight. Down 2-0 heading to the top of the eighth, Mark Trumbo slugged a solo homer. It was No. 46 on the year and came off...

Hyun Soo Kim's pinch-hit homer in ninth lifts O's to huge win

Hyun Soo Kim's pinch-hit homer in ninth lifts O's to huge win
TORONTO - Down by one run and down to their last two outs, Hyun Soo Kim hit one of the biggest homers of the 2016 season for the Orioles tonight. His pinch-hit two-run shot off Toronto closer Roberto Osuna turned a potential 2-1 loss into a 3-2 Orioles win tonight in front of 44,668 at Rogers Centre. The Orioles improved to 86-72 and ensured they will hold onto sole possesion of the second American League wild card through tonight. Down 2-1 in the ninth, Jonathan Schoop singled with one out and...

TORONTO - With two games to go against the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2016 regular season, the Orioles have lost the season series. Toronto has won 10 of the 17 games between these teams, including six of eight at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays (87-70) begin this game two games ahead of the Orioles (85-72) for second place in the American League East and the first AL wild card. Orioles manager Buck Showalter is well aware on the stat sheet Toronto ranks fourth in the AL in runs scored and first in...

Orioles pitching rotation takes shape for New York series
TORONTO - The Orioles rotation for the final series of the year is starting to take shape. The tentative plan right now calls for right-hander Yovani Gallardo to start Friday night against the Yankees in New York and lefty Wade Miley to pitch on Saturday afternoon. "Gallardo is going to leave (Toronto) tomorrow and he'll start in New York," manager Buck Showalter said this afternoon. "He's going to fly out tomorrow.

Back in lineup tonight, are things slowing down for Mancini?

Back in lineup tonight, are things slowing down for Mancini?
TORONTO - After nine days in the major leagues, maybe the Orioles' Trey Mancini has reached the point where his life is starting to feel somewhat normal again. Maybe. He sure had a crazy first few days as he became an instant fan favorite getting curtain calls as he homered in each of his first three major league starts. He became the third player in the majors since 1913 to do that, joining Carlos Quentin and Trevor Story. So have things started to settle down a bit for Mancini, who will bat...

TORONTO - Still with a shot to catch the Blue Jays for the first American League wild card while also trying to hold off the teams trailing them for the second wild card, the Orioles play in Toronto tonight in the second game of a three-game series. The Birds were held to eight hits - just one for extra bases, a double - and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position on Tuesday night. They were held to one run over six innings by Aaron Sanchez in a 5-1 loss. The Orioles (85-72) lead the...

After poor 10-game run on offense, O's bats need to get going fast

After poor 10-game run on offense, O's bats need to get going fast
TORONTO - In losing four straight games against Boston the Orioles scored just eight runs. In sweeping Arizona three straight they won games scoring three and two runs. Once they won in 12 innings with three solo homers and once they won with an early two-run homer that their pitching made stand up. The starting rotations in Boston and Toronto are going well now and the Orioles hitters can't seem to figure them out. But it goes beyond just those teams. The Orioles have hit just .204 with 24...

Chris Davis on ejection and more from the clubhouse
TORONTO - Even at a ballpark where they have averaged five runs a game this year and hit 15 homers in seven games, the Orioles offense could not break out. When Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer in the last of the first tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays had all the offense they would need. They beat the Orioles 5-1 as the O's fell two games back of Toronto for the first American League wild card. The Orioles had eight hits, just one for extra bases, and were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring...

Orioles drop series opener 5-1 at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - With a chance to move into a tie for the first American League wild card tonight, the Orioles instead fell behind early, struggled again on offense and never caught up. They lost 5-1 to Toronto in front of 44,762 at Rogers Centre to fall two games back of the Blue Jays with five to play. The Orioles are 85-72 overall and 2-6 in this building this season. Wins by either Detroit or Seattle tonight would move those teams to within one game of the Orioles for the second wild card. Two...

Showalter on Givens and the bullpen (O's fall 5-1)

Showalter on Givens and the bullpen (O's fall 5-1)
TORONTO - No doubt the Orioles bullpen will get a few chances to shine in this series at Rogers Centre. And the Orioles relievers have been doing that most of this season. In fact, over the club's last 13 games, the Orioles bullpen has pitched to an ERA of 0.74, allowing nine runs (four earned) over 48 2/3 innings. With Darren O'Day back from the disabled list to join Mychal Givens, Brad Brach and Donnie Hart to set up for closer Zach Britton, manager Buck Showalter has a few options to...

He knows the standings show his team just one game behind Toronto for the American League's first wild card as a three-game series with the Blue Jays begins tonight. "We'll see what the game dictates," Showalter said this afternoon in the visitors' dugout. "The game usually tells you what you should do and not do. But we understand the sense of...

Mark Trumbo and Adam Jones on playing at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - For a visiting player, Rogers Centre in Toronto can be a tough place to play. And that goes beyond simply facing a tough opponent. As the Orioles open a big three-game series here tonight, a couple of players say the crowd here is as tough on visiting players as any place they play all year. "You know, at least as a defender, you will hear a fair amount of taunts," Mark Trumbo said this afternoon. "That is just part of the deal here. It is going to be extremely loud. The energy is...

TORONTO - The Orioles' last road trip of the 2016 season begins tonight at Rogers Centre as the Orioles (85-71) and Toronto Blue Jays (86-70) start a big three-game series. It could possibly be a preview of the American League wild card game a week from today. The Orioles were off Monday and moved to within one game of Toronto for the first AL wild card spot when the Blue Jays lost to the Yankees. The Orioles are 7-9 against Toronto on the year, going 5-4 at home and 2-5 at Rogers Centre where...

Will O's pitching step up at Rogers Centre?
Well, that was one productive off-day for the Orioles. While the players got some much-needed rest, they gained ground on the teams in front of and behind them in the wild card race. The Yankees scored five runs in the top of the ninth and then held off Toronto (86-70) in the last of the ninth to beat the Blue Jays 7-5. That result moved the Orioles (85-71) to within one game of Toronto for the first American League wild card spot. Moments later Cleveland concluded a 7-4 win at Detroit. That...
