O's game blog: It's Miley against Pineda in series finale

O's game blog: It's Miley against Pineda in series finale
After posting wins of 8-0 and 2-0 the last two nights, today the Orioles look for a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Yankees have just six hits, all singles, in this series, going 6-for-57 (.105) at bat. The Orioles have recorded three straight shutouts of the Yankees for the first time ever. They have allowed 14 hits in those games. O's starters Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman have thrown 11 2/3 scoreless innings at the Yankees this weekend. Over the...

A few notes and observations on another shutout win

A few notes and observations on another shutout win
So yes, it is kind of crazy that the Orioles allowed 27 runs and 36 hits against the Yankees in back-to-back games last weekend and now have allowed no runs on 14 hits in three straight shutouts against the same team. According to STATS, LLC., the Orioles had never blanked the Yankees in three straight games. Until now. The last club to hold New York scoreless in three straight was the 1973 White Sox. This is also the first time the Birds have posted consecutive shutouts since doing so in Games...

O's game blog: A look at the O's pursuit of home run records

O's game blog: A look at the O's pursuit of home run records
With 28 games remaining in the regular season, the 2016 Orioles' 213 homers already rank sixth among all clubs in team history. The Orioles are on a pace to hit 257 homers, which would tie the team record set in 1996. That total is tied for third-most in major league history. The O's all-time single-season homer leaders: 257 - 1996 217 - 2015 214 - 1985, 1998, 2012 213 - 2016 212 - 2013 As you can see, the Orioles' next homer will be No. 214 and tie this club for the third-most in club...

Trumbo on Bundy, Joseph's return and homer notes

Trumbo on Bundy, Joseph's return and homer notes
Last weekend, on Friday night and Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles lost two games to New York. They gave up 27 runs, 36 hits and six home runs in those games. But they shut out the Yankees in the series finale last Sunday in the Bronx and they did the same last night in Baltimore. So in the last two games versus New York, they have allowed no runs on 10 hits. Interestingly enough, Dylan Bundy started two of the four games - one of the two games where the Orioles gave up all...

Bundy on his outing, Trumbo and Alvarez on the power display
For one night, the Orioles got their hitting and pitching going well at the same time in an 8-0 win over the New York Yankees to start a three-game series at Camden Yards. With Toronto's loss, the Orioles (73-61) pulled to within three games of first place in the American League East. They recorded their sixth shutout of the season and third against New York. It's the O's largest shutout win over New York since an 8-0 road win on June 22, 2014. It's their largest home shutout versus New...

O's mash four homers in shutout of Yankees, take series opener

O's mash four homers in shutout of Yankees, take series opener
For a team that had scored three or fewer runs in 24 of 46 second-half games (going 3-21), tonight's second inning was quite welcome. The team leading the majors in homers mashed three of them in a span of four batters to take an early 6-0 lead. The Orioles went on to blank New York 8-0 in front of 24,226 at Camden Yards to start a three-game series. Dylan Bundy and three relievers teamed on a two-hitter for the O's sixth shutout. Looking to end a five-series American League East losing...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces New York in series opener
Now sitting four games out in third place in the American League East and tied for the second AL wild card with Detroit, the Orioles begin a three-game series with the Yankees tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles (72-61) just lost two of three to Toronto and have lost five straight AL East series after going 9-2-1 in their first 12 division series of the season. The Yankees (69-63) are in fourth in the AL East, 6 1/2 games out and are 2 1/2 back of the Orioles for that second wild card. The...

Jones on returning to lineup, Joseph on returning to team

Jones on returning to lineup, Joseph on returning to team
Center fielder Adam Jones is returning to the Orioles lineup tonight. He's leading off in center field and in the lineup for the first time since a week ago at New York. He has missed the last five games with a strained left hamstring. A reporter asked him how he is feeling today. "I'm fine, how you feeling?" he said. Jones is not a fan of health updates, but he knew the questions would be coming. "(Want to) be there for my team," he said. "An exciting month. It's the last month of the...

A few things to track over the remaining 29 games (plus farm notes)

A few things to track over the remaining 29 games (plus farm notes)
Despite the avalanche of negativity on the blog and social media yesterday, I notice the Orioles have a game scheduled with the Yankees tonight. I assume they will show up. I plan to go cover it, so I hope both teams are there. Yes, of course, the Orioles' poor play has given fans plenty of reasons to doubt them. Some of you have pointed each one of them out about 1,000 times now. So yeah, we kind of get it. But they also have 29 games left, are tied for the second wild card and are four games...

Is a division title chance slipping away from O's and will wild card be next?

Is a division title chance slipping away from O's and will wild card be next?
On kind of a strange Wednesday for the Baltimore Orioles, their front office was quite active but their offense was not. While the Orioles scored just one run until down to their final out last night, they added two outfielders to their team. They acquired Drew Stubbs on a waiver claim from Texas. They traded for Michael Bourn from Arizona and gave up minor league outfielder Jason Heinrich. Bourn, 33, has batted .261/.307/.362 with 12 doubles, six triples, three home runs, 43 runs scored, 30...

Jonathan Schoop and Yovani Gallardo on the series loss to Toronto

Jonathan Schoop and Yovani Gallardo on the series loss to Toronto
It was a series where the Orioles' much-maligned starting rotation gave up just nine runs, but their hitters scored just nine. The Orioles lost 5-3 to the Blue Jays tonight, scoring just one run until Jonathan Schoop's two-run homer with two outs in the ninth. Over three games the Orioles scored nine runs on 19 hits and went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position. Their grip on first place in the division has slipped away to a four-game deficit and now they try to hold onto the second...

O's offense falls flat as Jays take the series finale

O's offense falls flat as Jays take the series finale
For the second time in this series the Orioles got a decent starting pitching performance - this one after a bad start to the game - but their offense could not get much going. Toronto right-hander Aaron Sanchez held the Orioles to one unearned run on five hits over six innings as the Blue Jays beat the O's 5-3 at Camden Yards. The Orioles lost two of three in this series to fall four games out of first place. Now 72-61 with 10 losses in their past 16 games, the Orioles are now tied for the...

O's game blog: It's Gallardo against Sanchez in series finale
The Orioles host Toronto tonight in the finale of this three-game series and everyone knows the math involved. An Orioles win moves them two games behind the first-place Blue Jays, while a loss drops them four games back. The Orioles (72-60) won 5-3 last night after losing Monday's game 5-1. The Birds hit three homers last night as Steve Pearce, Manny Machado and Matt Wieters connected. Machado hit his 100th career homer and Wieters' two-run shot in the eighth broke a 3-3 tie. The Orioles...

Another day, another leadoff man: Kim talks about batting atop order

Another day, another leadoff man: Kim talks about batting atop order
The Orioles will use their fifth different leadoff hitter in the last six games and their third different one in this series tonight. Hyun Soo Kim will hit leadoff for the first time as an Oriole in the series finale against Toronto. "It is always important for someone to do right on the first time you go out," Kim said today through his translater Danny Lee. "So I will make sure I do everything that I need to as leadoff and whatever the team wants, I will do it. I will probably have the...

Pedro Alvarez heaps some praise on Manny Machado (plus other notes)

Pedro Alvarez heaps some praise on Manny Machado (plus other notes)
When Orioles third baseman Manny Machado swung at an 0-1 pitch and drove in into the Toronto bullpen in left-center field in the fifth inning last night, it was impressive in a lot of ways. The homer came at a big time. It broke a 1-1 tie and put the Orioles ahead 3-1. It came off 17-game winner J.A. Happ, a strong Cy Young candidate. And it was a blast that went 438 feet. Yep, it was a bomb. It was also the 32nd of his season and the 100th of his career. Machado became the youngest Oriole ever...

Manny Machado on his 100th homer (plus more clubhouse quotes)

Manny Machado on his 100th homer (plus more clubhouse quotes)
On a night the Orioles picked up a huge win, Matt Wieters hit a big homer late, Steve Pearce had a big one much earlier and Manny Machado hit one to reach a nice round number. Machado's 438-foot, two-run homer in the fifth gave the Orioles, at the time, a two-run lead. It was also the 100th homer of his career and 32nd of this season. Machado became the youngest Oriole to hit 100 home runs, doing so at 24 years and 55 days. The previous youngest, Eddie Murray, got there at 24 years and 177...

Wieters' homer breaks tie and Machado hits No. 100 as O's top Jays
Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez gave the Orioles a strong start. Catcher Matt Wieters gave the Orioles a huge homer that produced a lead and a win. Wieters' two-run shot off Jason Grilli in the bottom of the eighth broke a tie and lifted the Orioles to a 5-3 win over Toronto tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles improved to 72-60 and moved back within three game of first place. The Orioles had been 3-11 in their last 14 American League East games, but they hit three homers tonight to pick up a big...

O's game blog: A look at tonight's game and farm system notes
After last night's 5-1 loss to Toronto where the Orioles were held to four hits, the all-bird matchup continues at Camden Yards tonight with the Orioles (71-60) hosting the first-place Blue Jays (75-56). The Orioles are now a season-high four games out of first place. They do hold the second wild card spot in the American League, but by just one game over Detroit, by two over Houston and Kansas City and by three games over Seattle. The Orioles are just 3-11 in their last 14 AL East games. They...

Oliver Drake talks about role change from closer to multi-inning reliever

Oliver Drake talks about role change from closer to multi-inning reliever
Right-handed pitcher Oliver Drake returned to the Orioles on Sunday. This time he comes back to the team after a role change at Triple-A Norfolk. Before he joined the Orioles for four games in June, Drake was a one-inning closer for the Tides and he went 10-for-12 in save chances. When he went back on June 30, he began to pitch longer outings and earlier in the game. "It was a little different," Drake said of the change. "Before I was coming in and knowing I was done after one inning. Now I...
