Chris Davis on his left hand injury and team outlook after Friday loss

Chris Davis on his left hand injury and team outlook after Friday loss
DETROIT - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is still bothered by his left hand injury. He sat out Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay and got Thursday's off day to rest it, but that didn't seem to bring about much improvement. Davis has dealt with it all year and knows he will be dealing with it the rest of the way. It is not to the point that he intends to miss any more games. "I mean, it's been an issue all year," Davis said this afternoon. "So, it's not going to get any better until I...

The Orioles got a two-run homer from Jonathan Schoop and an RBI single from Adam Jones, but were held to five hits on the night in the loss. Jones went 2-for-3 and was the only player with a multi-hit game. In the Tampa Bay series,...

DETROIT - With back-to-back losses to the Rays and Tigers by one run each, the Orioles are 76-64 and have fallen three games back in the American League East race behind division-leading Boston. They've now been tied by Detroit as the clubs have identical records and co-hold the second AL wild card spot as play begins today.

Brach on V. Martinez homer (and other clubhouse quotes)

Brach on V. Martinez homer (and other clubhouse quotes)
DETROIT - For the Orioles, it was a gut-punch loss. After they had rallied from 3-0 down to tie the Tigers 3-3, Detroit's Victor Martinez hit a tiebreaking homer off Brad Brach in the last of the eighth. Kevin Gausman gave them a strong start and battled out of some jams. Adam Jones and Jonathan Schoop had huge hits. They cut down a run at the plate. But the Orioles lost 4-3 to fall into a tie for the second American League wild card with Detroit. A win would have moved them into a tie for the...

Jones not ready for scoreboard watching (Orioles lose 4-3)
DETROIT - With the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox playing each other this weekend while the Orioles face the Tigers, there is some scoreboard watching to do. Not to mention the fact that five teams are within 4 1/2 games of the Orioles for the second American League wild card spot. The September races in the AL are wild indeed. While there is plenty of scoreboard watching for fans to do, center fielder Adam Jones said the O's players should not be doing that. "Can't look too far,"...

O's game blog: Orioles are 11-3 against the Rays in 2016
The Orioles today are looking for their first three-game road sweep of this season and first three-game sweep at Tropicana Field since May 6-8, 2014. Now one game out of first place in the American League East and leading the second wild card by one game, the Orioles (76-62) have won four of five and six of their last nine.

Are the Orioles elevating their play in time for the stretch run?

Are the Orioles elevating their play in time for the stretch run?
Maybe it is not enough of a sample size to make any judgements at all, but the Orioles seem to have elevated their play in the last few games. They went into St. Petersburg to face a Tampa Bay team that was 12-8 in its previous 20 games and with a winning record since the All-Star break. They then won 7-3 and 11-2 at Tropicana Field. Yes, the Rays are in last place, but they were 16-8 in their last 24 home games before this series. In their previous three American League East series, Tampa Bay...

A few notes on the Orioles' 11-2 win over the Rays

A few notes on the Orioles' 11-2 win over the Rays
For the second game in a row the Orioles used a big inning to break open a game at Tropicana Field. For an offense that had scored three runs or fewer in 26 of 49 games in the second half at the start of this series, it's a good sign. The Orioles scored six runs in the top of the fourth tonight and went on to beat the Rays 11-2. They are 76-62 and have taken the first two games of this three-game series. The Orioles have now won two straight American League East series after losing five in a...

O's get a big win, plus a look at the final day on the farm
The Orioles don't seem to want to go down without a fight. It is rather admirable and I'm sure appreciated by the fan base. They are 3-1 since losing that series against Toronto that dropped them four games out of first place in the American League East. They pulled within two games, dropped three back and now are back at two games off the AL East lead. Certainly, they are right there in the wild card race, tied with Detroit for the second wild card spot, with both teams one game behind...

Duquette talks Bundy and Gausman, plus a look at the RISP stat
After pitching a total of 63 1/3 innings from 2013-2015, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy is at 90 2/3 innings after his most recent outing against the Yankees. Bundy was limited after his Tommy John surgery from June 2013 and the subsequent rehab in addition to a shoulder issue that ended his 2015 season. But as the Orioles push for a playoff spot with 26 games to go, there is no indication that the club will skip any of Bundy's starts or consider shutting him down before the season ends....

Wade Miley on his start, Chris Davis on the loss against New York

Wade Miley on his start, Chris Davis on the loss against New York
After a two-start stretch where he pitched to an ERA of 3.75, left-hander Wade Miley could not build on that today. His troubles started with the first pitch. He walked the first two batters to set up what turned into a three-run inning as the New York Yankees beat the Orioles 5-2. There would be no shutout or three-game sweep today. "Just didn't throw strikes," Miley said of his laborious 36-pitch first inning. "Walked the first two hitters of the game. I was able to get two outs. Gave up...

O's come up short on bid to sweep, lose 5-2 to Yankees
After back-to-back shutouts of the Yankees in this series and three straight games dating to last weekend, today the Orioles' pitching didn't measure up. On top of that, the Orioles went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position the first six innings. The O's fell behind 3-0 in the first inning today and never could catch up in a 5-2 loss to the Yankees.
