Hyun Soo Kim talks about making a rare start against a left-hander

Hyun Soo Kim talks about making a rare start against a left-hander
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said starting Hyun Soo Kim in left field against Boston lefty David Price was his best option for this evening's lineup. Kim has had few chances against left-handers this year, but is 0-for-14 with three walks and two strikeouts. Tonight, he'll make his second start of the year with a lefty facing the Orioles. He started against Mariners lefty Wade LeBlanc on July 1 at Safeco Field, going 0-for-3. "This is just another game," Kim said through interpreter Danny...

Mookie Betts has not hit the rest of the AL East like he has O's pitchers

Mookie Betts has not hit the rest of the AL East like he has O's pitchers
When it comes to Boston outfielder Mookie Betts and his play this year against the American League East, he has been mediocre against three teams but sensational against one. Bet you can guess which one. Or is that Betts you can guess? Betts is crushing Oriole pitching, but batting a collective .223 combined against Toronto, Tampa Bay and New York. In 11 games on the season against the Orioles, Betts is batting .426 (20-for-47) with three doubles, eight homers and 17 RBIs. He has a .471 OBP, a...

Orioles talk about the two pitches that cost them a game

Orioles talk about the two pitches that cost them a game
Catcher Matt Wieters called them two mistake pitches, and tonight they turned a possible comeback win into a loss for the Orioles. Boston outfielder Mookie Betts, who hit five homers earlier this season in a two-game span at Camden Yards, hit two more tonight, leading Boston past the Orioles 5-3. It was quite a show by Betts, who hit a three-run homer off Yovani Gallardo for a 3-0 lead in the fifth. After the Orioles tied the game at 3-3, Betts hit a two-run shot off Brad Brach in the eighth....

Mookie Betts homers twice as Boston takes series opener

Mookie Betts homers twice as Boston takes series opener
The Orioles were able to overcome trailing 3-0 and being no-hit into the seventh inning tonight. They just could not overcome Boston right fielder Mookie Betts. Betts' two-run homer in the eighth - his second blast of the game - broke a 3-3 tie as Boston beat the Orioles 5-3 tonight at Camden Yards. The teams now have identical 66-52 records with 44 games to play. Betts connected on an 0-1 pitch from losing pitcher Brad Brach. Betts has five multi-homer games this season and three have come in...

Manny Machado talks about home fans and home stretch

Manny Machado talks about home fans and home stretch
With the Orioles about to start a stretch where they will play 14 of the next 19 games at home, and 25 of their last 45 at Camden Yards, third baseman Manny Machado was asked about the Camden Yards fans today. Clearly, the Orioles love playing at home and they have the best home record in the game at 39-17. But the club does rank 10th in the American League in average home attendance at 26,826. That ranks ahead of only the Twins, White Sox, Indians, A's and Rays in the AL. Machado was...

With 14 of next 19 at home, can O's make their move in AL East?

With 14 of next 19 at home, can O's make their move in AL East?
Three teams and one game. That is all that separates the top clubs in the American League East today after Boston won and Toronto lost yesterday. The Orioles (66-51) and the Blue Jays (67-52) share first place and the Red Sox (65-52) are one game back. A Red Sox win at Camden Yards tonight coupled with a Blue Jays loss to the Yankees would create a three-way tie for first. It is that close right now. Of those three teams competing for the top spot, the Orioles are the only one to have more home...

More notes on the comeback win and a look ahead

More notes on the comeback win and a look ahead
When Jonathan Schoop batted in the ninth inning yesterday in San Francisco, he had just one homer and one RBI in his previous 19 games. Nice time to break out. Schoop's three-run homer completed the Orioles' comeback from a 7-1 deficit to an 8-7 win. They were down to their last out, trailing 7-5, when he connected. It was Schoop's 50th career home run. Schoop has 18 homers this year. He has hit nine from innings one through six and nine more from the seventh inning on. He has four in both...

Rally time: O's come from 7-1 down, beat SF on Schoop's HR in ninth
They were down by six runs at one point. In the ninth inning, they were down 7-5 and down to their last out. But the Orioles completed an amazing comeback when second baseman Jonathan Schoop blasted a three-run homer in the ninth, leading the Orioles past San Francisco 8-7 at AT&T Park. The Orioles were behind 7-1 after five innings, but scored the game's final seven runs. This was their 34th come from behind win of the season.

Alexander Wells on making All-Star Game (plus O's notes)

Alexander Wells on making All-Star Game (plus O's notes)
The Orioles' Australian import is certainly having a strong first season in pro ball. Alexander Wells, a 19-year left-hander from Newcastle, Australia, is 4-5 with a 2.03 ERA in 10 starts for short-season Single-A Aberdeen. His strong season is leading him to Tuesday's New York-Penn League All-Star Game at Hudson Valley. "It is a very good honor," Wells said in Aberdeen this week. "A bit shocked and surprised. But it is a great feeling and I'm really happy to represent Aberdeen." The...

O's lose walkathon to Bumgarner, Giants 6-2

O's lose walkathon to Bumgarner, Giants 6-2
It was a walkathon by Orioles pitchers tonight in San Francisco. They walked a season-high nine batters. That was not a recipe to try and outscore Giants left-hander Madsion Bumgarner. They could not do it in a 6-2 loss to the Giants. Coupled with Toronto's win over Houston earlier, the Orioles (65-51) fell back into second place in the American League East by a half-game behind Toronto. Losing pitcher Kevin Gausman had a wild ride indeed. He walked two in the first and escaped that jam, but a...

Some Bundy numbers, Jones on MLB Network and August trade targets
It looked like Dylan Bundy didn't have his best command. It looked like the Giants might get to him when they had a run in and two on in the third. But they didn't and Bundy had yet another solid outing in his sixth major league start. Over 5 2/3 innings, Bundy allowed three hits and one run as the Orioles beat the Giants 5-2 in the series opener in San Francisco. Bundy, who threw 92 pitches, came up an out short of providing the Orioles with their eighth consecutive quality start. But he...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy on the mound in SF series opener
The Orioles begin a weekend series in San Francisco tonight, the last stop of a three-city, 10-game road trip. They went 2-1 at Chicago and 1-3 at Oakland to begin the trip. Their 9-6 win yesterday ended a three-game losing streak at Oakland, where they had scored just three runs in the first three games. Mark Trumbo hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, Pedro Alvarez had a three-RBI game and Adam Jones hit a solo homer. One game doesn't prove that the Orioles are out of their offensive...

All in the family: Preston Palmeiro brings familiar swing to Aberdeen

All in the family: Preston Palmeiro brings familiar swing to Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. - When it was time for the second day of the 2016 First Year Player Draft on June 10, N.C. State first baseman Preston Palmeiro was in front of his computer to watch every pick unfold. He said that went against all the advice he had gotten. "I didn't really do a lot to help myself," Palmeiro said Wednesday at Aberdeen's Ripken Stadium. "I watched the whole draft. Everybody told me to avoid doing that and I did the opposite and watched it all. I just sat there for a few hours...

A few notes on the offense after a breakout game at Oakland

A few notes on the offense after a breakout game at Oakland
When the Orioles scored three runs in the fourth inning today, they matched their total from the first three games in Oakland. In the fifth inning, they topped that on one swing. Mark Trumbo hit a fifth-inning grand slam and drove in five, while Pedro Alvarez added three RBIs, as the Orioles beat Oakland 9-6 to salvage the finale of the four-game series. They had scored three runs or fewer in three straight, six of eight, 11 of 16 and in 16 of 26 games since the All-Star break. But, the offense...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman will try to stop another losing streak
He will certainly need some run support to do the job this afternoon, but once again Chris Tillman (14-4, 3.50 ERA) will try to stop an Orioles losing streak. The right-hander has proven very adept at halting streaks this year. In fact, he has helped the club snap five streaks of three consecutive losses or more. He's done this three times alone in the last 31 games, and all three streaks were of at least four straight losses. The rundown:April 27: Pitched 6 2/3 scoreless against Tampa Bay,...

Cody Sedlock has strong outing in Aberdeen (plus O's notes)
ABERDEEN, Md. - Known as a workhorse pitcher as a junior this season at the University of Illinois, Orioles first-round draft pick Cody Sedlock said the three-inning outings he is throwing now for short-season Single-A Aberdeen are taking some getting used to. Before the Orioles selected Sedlock with the 27th-overall pick in June, he averaged over seven innings a start while going 5-3 with an ERA of 2.49 at Illinois. He was the Big 10 Pitcher of the Year. He threw nine innings or more in four...

Orioles shut out in Oakland, have lost three straight to the A's

Orioles shut out in Oakland, have lost three straight to the A's
The Orioles' offensive slump reached a new low on this road trip. They scored two runs on Monday night, one last night and none tonight. They were held to seven hits in a 1-0 loss at Oakland. Oakland left-hander Ross Detwiler had an ERA of 4.40 this year in Triple-A and 5.79 in April pitching out of the Cleveland Indians bullpen. But he made the start tonight and pitched eight scoreless on six hits, throwing 108 pitches. John Axford pitched the ninth for a save. The Orioles' Adam Jones led...

As the offense struggles, Chris Davis is bearing the brunt of the criticism
Chris Davis' struggles have frustrated and angered Orioles fans, who are lashing out at the first baseman who signed a seven-year deal worth $161 million in January. Right now, and for a while now, Davis is not giving the fanbase a reason to embrace him. He hit a 418-foot homer on Sunday at Chicago, but he is 0-for-9 since that blast. Since the All-Star break, Davis is batting .118 with one homer and three RBIs in 22 games. In that span, he has struck out 32 times in 76 at-bats, has a slugging...
