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...

Showalter on extra days' rest for pitchers and more

Showalter on extra days' rest for pitchers and more
DETROIT - Right-hander Chris Tillman re-enters the Orioles rotation today, but manager Buck Showalter is not ready to say he is working with a six-man pitching rotation or even say he has six starting pitchers for five spots. For now, he wants to see how Tillman gets through this start and he is looking at how to best use and match up his staters given that game's opponent. Some pitchers are now working on extra rest. For instance, Wade Miley will pitch at Boston tomorrow night on seven days'...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Justin Verlander in series finale
DETROIT - The Orioles and Tigers have exchanged wins. The Tigers won 4-3 Friday night. The Orioles hit four homers and romped 11-3 last night at Comerica Park. So today's winner takes the series and the stakes are high. The Orioles will leave here either tied with the Tigers for the second American League wild card or leading them by two games. Heading into today, the Orioles (77-64) are one game ahead of both the Tigers and New York Yankees for that second wild card spot. The O's are just...

DETROIT - After losing a tough 4-3 game on Friday night, the Orioles responded well last night. They hit three homers the first time through the batting order, had eight runs by the fourth inning and hammered Detroit 11-3 at Comerica Park. "We understand what's going on right now," center fielder Adam Jones said. "(Friday) night was a very tough loss. We battled back, but it wasn't like we just gave the game away.

O's get lead on early homer barrage (O's hit four homers, win 11-3)
DETROIT - The Orioles suffered a frustrating loss last night. Perhaps they took out some of those frustrations early in tonight's game at Comerica Park. The Orioles bashed three homers off Detroit starter Jordan Zimmermann among their first eight hitters to take a 6-1 lead after their second at bat tonight. Adam Jones homered on the game's first pitch. He hit No. 27 on a 92 mph fastball. It was his 10th homer this year on the first pitch of an at bat. After Jonathan Schoop lined out and Manny...

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...

DETROIT - For the Orioles, it was a gut-punch loss.

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,"...
