No offense, no win: O's bats quiet again in another loss in Oakland

No offense, no win: O's bats quiet again in another loss in Oakland
For the Orioles, it was yet another night when they didn't get enough offense. Not nearly enough. New Oriole left-hander Wade Miley pitched a strong game. But as with Kevin Gausman last night, the Orioles plated just one run while Miley was out there and Oakland beat the Orioles 2-1. The Orioles were held to three hits, going 3-for-29 at-bat tonight. The Orioles could have gained on Toronto, which lost to Tampa Bay. But failed to do so and fell to 63-49 and remain in a first-place tie atop the...

O's game blog: Comparing the offense before and after the break

O's game blog: Comparing the offense before and after the break
The Orioles' offense has been seemingly all or close to nothing in the four games of their road trip that continues tonight at Oakland. They've scored seven, two, 10 and two runs in going 2-2. The Orioles went 51-36 before the All-Star Game and averaged 5.08 runs per game in the first half. They have gone 12-12 while scoring 3.42 runs per game in the second half. Quite a difference for the offense. Orioles runs per game by month: 4.70 in April 4.07 in May 6.60 in June 3.42 in July 4.57 in...

A look at the inconsistent offense, Aberdeen's All-Stars and more

A look at the inconsistent offense, Aberdeen's All-Stars and more
The Orioles offense has been inconsistent this season and on this road trip. That inconsistency continuted last night as they lost 3-2 at Oakland and are 2-2 on the trip. In the two road wins the Orioles have hit .359 (28-for-78) with seven home runs, 17 runs and a mark of 5-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

O's bats are quiet in series-opening loss at Oakland

O's bats are quiet in series-opening loss at Oakland
On Sunday in Chicago, the Orioles scored 10 runs in the first three innings. Tonight at Oakland, the Orioles produced two over nine innings in a 3-2 loss to the Athletics to begin a four-game series. Right-hander Kevin Gausman has now made 24 consecutive road starts without gaining a win. He gave up just two runs, but the Orioles scored him just one when he was in the game as he fell to 3-9 with an ERA of 4.02. Manny Machado hit another homer tonight. His solo blast in the eighth off Ryan Dull...

O's game blog: Gausman faces Oakland, plus home run notes

O's game blog: Gausman faces Oakland, plus home run notes
After seeing Orioles who were drafted in the first round in Manny Machado (2010) and Dylan Bundy (2011) lead the team to a win Sunday in Chicago, can 2012 first-round pick right-hander Kevin Gausman pitch the Orioles to victory tonight? Gausman (3-8, 4.08 ERA) has recorded five quality starts in his last seven outings, going 3-3 with a 3.61 ERA. He's allowed two earned runs or fewer four times. Take away the outing where he gave up six runs in three innings on July 29 at Toronto and his ERA is...

At 19 games under .500, Triple-A Norfolk is a playoff contender

At 19 games under .500, Triple-A Norfolk is a playoff contender
One year after the Orioles' farm system produced division winners at the Triple-A and Double-A levels and saw Bowie win the Double-A Eastern League championship, the O's could end this season without one playoff team on the farm. As we sometimes say, "if the season ended today" no O's farm teams would qualify but a few still have a shot while others are well out of it with about a month to go in the minor league regular season. First let's look at the strange case of the Triple-A Norfolk...

More on Machado's three-homer game, plus is the offense coming around?

More on Machado's three-homer game, plus is the offense coming around?
There are times when we see something happen at the ballpark that we have never seen before. Yesterday was one of those times. Just twice in the history of the majors - and not for 86 years - has a player hit a homer in each of the first three innings of a game. But the Orioles' Manny Machado did that yesterday in the 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. The first and only other time it happened in major league history was by Carl Reynolds of the White Sox on July 2, 1930. Machado is the ninth...

Pearce on his injury, Bundy his outing and other Orioles notes & quotes

Pearce on his injury, Bundy his outing and other Orioles notes & quotes
CHICAGO - He has been back with the team for less than a week, but Steve Pearce will now likely miss at least a few games after suffering a strained flexor mass in the right elbow. He got a cortisone injection after today's game and is optimistic he won't miss much time. Pearce said the injury first surfaced during his time this year with the Tampa Bay Rays. It re-surfaced in Chicago this weekend. "I felt it last night, and obviously, felt it today on the throw," Pearce said. "I just...

Showalter pregame on Bundy, Trumbo's day off and A-Rod
CHICAGO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter is giving outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo a day off today, at least at the start of this afternoon's game. Trumbo is batting .267 with a league-leading 31 homers and 77 RBIs. He is batting .140 (7-for-50) over his last 13 games. "He hasn't had one (a day off) this year," Showalter said. "I'm trying to get him, CD (Chris Davis), J.J. (Hardy), Adam (Jones) if I can. Trying to give everybody a day on this trip, if I can. I talked to three or...

Brach on his struggles, Showalter on Bundy and other notes

Brach on his struggles, Showalter on Bundy and other notes
CHICAGO - If there is such a thing as a reliever slump, maybe Brad Brach was in one recently and is starting to come out of it. He's been so good for so long this year that when he gives up runs, it stands out. Brach pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Friday night's win in Chicago. But in five games and 4 1/3 innings coming into this series, he had allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits. He has only been scored on in nine of 49 games on the year and three came in his previous five...

Showalter and other clubhouse quotes after 4-2 loss to Chicago

Showalter and other clubhouse quotes after 4-2 loss to Chicago
CHICAGO - Sure, the Orioles had a replay call overturned tonight and it cost them a run, but once again their offense didn't produce much and that was the bigger issue in a 4-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. A night after scoring seven runs on 16 hits they were held to six hits by Carlos Rodon and three relievers. The White Sox evened the series at a win each, but with Toronto's loss to Kansas City, the Orioles (62-47) remain in a first-place tie atop the American League East. J.J. Hardy...

Chicago takes early lead on Tillman and the O's (Orioles lose 4-2)

Chicago takes early lead on Tillman and the O's (Orioles lose 4-2)
CHICAGO - In search of his 15th win tonight, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman gave up single runs in the first and third innings as the White Sox took an early lead in Game 2 of this three-game series. White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson smoked a double to lead off the home half of the first inning and then Melky Cabrera, batting second, doubled him in for a 1-0 lead. Tillman stranded Cabrera at second, but needed 25 pitches in the first. After he retired Chicago 1-2-3 on just six pitches in the...

O's game blog: Tillman looks for win No. 15 against Chicago
CHICAGO - With back-to-back road wins - the last game in Toronto and first game in Chicago - the Orioles look for three in a row tonight against the White Sox. They won 7-5 last night as five players had multi-hit games and Pedro Alvarez homered twice. The Orioles had 16 hits - their most since 17 on June 28 at San Diego. Their seven runs was the most since July 29 when they scored 12 at San Diego. The O's pinned a loss on former Oriole Miguel Gonzalez last night as Yovani Gallardo picked up...

Showalter on today's lineup decisions
CHICAGO - He has hit five homers over his last three games, going 7-for-12, and hit two homers last night, but Pedro Alvarez is not in tonight's starting lineup for the Orioles against White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon. O's manager Buck Showalter is not always fond of lineup questions, but he got one today. Why is Alvarez, who has been so hot, not starting? "Why he has been hot?" Showalter asked. "Because he's facing right-handed pitching. I like having a nice weapon on the bench, too....

Gonzalez says he has no hard feelings toward Orioles

Gonzalez says he has no hard feelings toward Orioles
CHICAGO - After pitching in 101 games for the Baltimore Orioles, right-hander Miguel Gonzalez pitched one against them last night. He said today that it was definitely weird to be facing his former team and some of his best friends. Gonzalez gave up four runs (three earned) and 10 hits over six innings as the Orioles beat the White Sox 7-5. After pitching to an ERA of 9.78 in March, the Orioles released Gonzalez at the end of spring training. "It was surprising, that's for sure," Gonzalez...

Another look at the Pedro Alvarez power surge, plus other notes
CHICAGO - Not only is Pedro Alvarez on a homer tear right now for the Orioles, but he is hitting big home runs. He homered in the second inning last night to give the Orioles a one-run lead over the Chicago White Sox. When he batted in the eighth, the O's were up by two and his blast added a big run. In his last three games, Alvarez has hit two, one and two homers. He is 7-for-12 in that stretch with five homers and five RBIs. Over a seven-game stretch he is 13-for-28 (.464) with six homers...

Wrapping up the win over Chicago to start the road trip

Wrapping up the win over Chicago to start the road trip
CHICAGO - It was a strange night at times for the Orioles. They tied a season high by making four errors. Darren O'Day was replaced after getting just one out in the eighth. But they still had enough to hang on to a big win to start this 10-game road trip. Pedro Alvarez produced his second multi-homer game in his last three games and continued his recent power surge as the Orioles beat the White Sox 7-5 at U.S. Cellular Field. With the Blue Jays winning again, this victory keeps the Orioles...
