One pitcher's take on Chance Sisco's defense (plus O's notes)

One pitcher's take on Chance Sisco's defense (plus O's notes)
Throughout his career, catcher Chance Sisco has continued to move up the list of top Orioles prospects. Drafted out of a California high school in the second round in 2013, Sisco was the organization's No. 10 prospect, according to Baseball America, at the end of the 2013 season. He moved up to No. 4 after 2014 and to No. 3 after last year. Now Sisco seems primed to make a move for the No. 1 spot when new rankings come out this offseason. He also is expected to be named the Brooks Robinson...

Matt Wieters and Yovani Gallardo on the Orioles' loss to the Rays

Matt Wieters and Yovani Gallardo on the Orioles' loss to the Rays
There were two tough ninth innings for the Orioles tonight. One with missed chances in Baltimore and one where Boston scored five runs for a walk-off win at home against New York. The late-inning drama and tough loss in Baltimore leave the Orioles two games behind Boston with 16 games to play for the American League East lead. Catcher Matt Wieters was asked about O's starter Yovani Gallardo, who allowed two walks and Evan Longoria's three-run homer three batters into the game. He gave up six...

Orioles come up short in series opener against Rays

Orioles come up short in series opener against Rays
For the Orioles, it was one frustrating night. In the first of an 11-game homestand, they got poor pitching early in the game and some non-productive at-bats later. It all added up to a 7-6 loss to the Tampa Rays in the opener of a four-game series. The Orioles fall to 80-66. Should New York go on to beat Boston, they will have missed a chance to tie for first in the American League East. But, a Boston loss would keep them a game off the pace in the division. In their final frustrating at-bats...

O's game blog: Tampa Bay in town as 11-game homestand begins
Now within one game of the American League East lead while leading the chase for the No. 1 AL wild card spot by one game, the Orioles open an 11-game homestand tonight. It's the last homestand of the regular season, as they host Tampa Bay and Boston for four games Arizona for three. Tonight the Orioles, 80-65 overall and 29-29 in the second half, host the Rays (62-83) to start a four-game series at Camden Yards.

Steve Pearce on his PRP injection, Britton on Gausman's outing

Steve Pearce on his PRP injection, Britton on Gausman's outing
The Orioles' Steve Pearce said he cannot take part in baseball activities for 10 days after getting a platelet-rich plasma injection to alleviate discomfort in his right elbow/forearm area. Pearce received the injection yesterday following an exam in New York with Dr. David Altcheck. With just 17 games remaining, can Pearce even make it back to play at all in the final games? "I don't know. That is going to be we go on feel and see what I can do. For now, I got the PRP shot and we're going...

After stirring win in Boston finale, O's head back to Camden Yards

After stirring win in Boston finale, O's head back to Camden Yards
Sometimes outstanding pitching and defense goes hand in hand, like during many games of the Orioles' glory years. Like last night, for instance. With an infield defense making tough plays look easy behind him, Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman took yet another step toward permanent inclusion in the top-of-the-rotation club. He may have begun to state his case for future memership in the ace club. On a night when he was a little better than a 20-game winner, Gausman shut down major league...

Gausman's gem: Right-hander throws eight scoreless at Boston

Gausman's gem: Right-hander throws eight scoreless at Boston
In a big game, Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman delivered a huge performance. It was absolutely ace-like in every way. Gausman pitched eight brilliant innings against baseball's highest-scoring team as the Orioles beat Boston 1-0 at Fenway Park. The Orioles (80-65) moved to within one game of the first-place Red Sox by taking the final two games of the series after losing by 10 runs on Monday. The game meant the difference between the Orioles getting to one back or falling three games back...

O's game blog: Birds face 20-game winner Rick Porcello in series finale
The Orioles won their first two series this year at Fenway Park in Boston. They could make it three-for-three if they win the series finale tonight against the Red Sox. The Orioles (79-65) hit three homers and won last night 6-3 after Boston (81-63) won big on Monday night. The Orioles are 7-7 versus the Red Sox this season and 5-3 at Fenway Park. The Orioles have hit five homers in this series and have had four straight games with two or more homers, with 11 in that span. They've hit 54 home...

After yet another bounceback win, O's look for series win in Boston
Despite the fact they have been written off more times than we can count and overlooked often by national analysts, the Orioles will take the field with a chance tonight to move within one game of first place with 17 games to play. If they could pull off a huge win tonight at Fenway Park, the division title will still be very much within reach. And the team will be headed back to Baltimore for an 11-game homestand that includes four games next week with Boston. The Orioles lost in the late...

A few quick takes on the Orioles' win over the Red Sox

A few quick takes on the Orioles' win over the Red Sox
It was, to say the least, an important victory. For the O's pitching staff, it felt like a save situation from about the second inning on. But they were up for it tonight as the Orioles beat the Red Sox 6-3 at Fenway Park a night after losing by 10 runs. The Orioles improved to 79-65 and moved to within two games of the first-place Red Sox at 81-63. Boston had been 20-10 its previous 30 and 15-7 in its previous 22 American League East games. With Toronto's 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay, the O's tie...

O's game blog: Bundy faces Boston in Game 2 of series
Needing a win to ensure they stay in sole possession of the second American League wild card while also moving closer to the AL East lead, the Orioles send rookie right-hander Dylan Bundy (8-5, 3.82) to the mound tonight. The Orioles (78-65) play at Boston (81-62) in the second game of this three-game series. Boston leads the division by two games over Toronto, by three over the Orioles and by five over the Yankees. Boston has won five of six, eight of 11 and 20 of its last 30 games. Boston is...

After blowout loss, can Bundy/Gausman duo slow Boston?

After blowout loss, can Bundy/Gausman duo slow Boston?
After the Red Sox pounded Orioles pitching last night in a 12-2 win in the series opener, how will the young guns do the next two nights? With their American League East title hopes perhaps hanging in the balance, the Orioles turn to a pair of first-round draft picks in the next two games at Fenway Park. Dylan Bundy (8-5, 3.82 ERA) gets the start tonight and Kevin Gausman (7-10, 3.61 ERA) on Wednesday night. This will be quite a challenge for the 23-year-old Bundy and the 25-year-old Gausman....

O's trip continues at Boston (O's hammered 12-2)
For the Orioles, it started badly tonight and then it got worse. They were blown out 12-2 by the surging first-place Boston Red Sox. The Orioles now need to win the next two nights to take this series and they've fallen three games back of Boston in the division. With his defense not making some plays behind him, left-hander Wade Miley had a terrible outing. He gave up five runs and six hits in the first inning and didn't survive the second. Over 1 1/3 innings, which was the shortest start of...

Wade Miley on facing his former team and extra rest

Wade Miley on facing his former team and extra rest
When the Orioles begin a big series in Boston tonight, left-hander Wade Miley will once again be on the mound at Fenway Park. But this time he will be pitching against the Red Sox. Last year, Miley made 32 starts for Boston, going 11-11 with a 4.46 ERA. The Red Sox acquired him from Arizona in a December 2014 trade. About a year later, Boston traded him to Seattle. About seven months after that, on July 31 of this season, Seattle traded him to the Orioles for pitcher Ariel Miranda. In Detroit...

Notes and quotes from a winning weekend at Comerica Park

Notes and quotes from a winning weekend at Comerica Park
DETROIT - It happened again with the Baltimore Orioles. They lost a tough game and yet there didn't seem to be any tension or concern in their clubhouse after Friday's gut-punching 4-3 loss at Detroit. The players used a phrase we hear them say often. They would "flush it" and move on. They would quickly put a tough loss behind them, not look back and now work to get needed wins. Then they went out and got two huge wins. They bashed Tigers pitching for four homers in an 11-3 win Saturday....

Givens on facing Cabrera, Tillman on his return, plus more
DETROIT - For a game in which just four runs were scored, there were clutch performances all over for the Orioles this afternoon at Comerica Park. They beat Detroit 3-1 to win the final two games of the series after Friday's 4-3 loss. They tie Toronto at 78-64 for second in the division and for the first American League wild card spot. They stay two games behind first-place Boston and head to Fenway Park for a big series on Monday night. Where to start with this win? It could be with Chris...

Homers by Bourn and Schoop give O's early lead (Orioles win 3-1)

Homers by Bourn and Schoop give O's early lead (Orioles win 3-1)
DETROIT - The Orioles' 225th home run of the season came from an unlikely source today. But it was big and provided them with a 2-0 lead on Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers in the top of the third inning. Michael Bourn got the start today in right field and presumably one reason was his career .371 (13-for-35) batting average against the Tigers right-hander. Then today Bourn delivered off Verlander in the third for a 2-0 lead. Verlander threw him five straight fastballs, all at 95 or 96...
