He's back: A quick take on Steve Pearce's return to the Orioles
Steve Pearce is returning to the Orioles. They did not re-sign him over the winter when he hit free agency, but today they traded with Tampa Bay to bring him back to Baltimore. The Orioles gave up 21-year-old switch-hitting catcher Jonah Heim, their fourth-round draft pick in 2013, who was playing at Single-A Frederick. Pearce's return figures to be popular, from the clubhouse to the dugout to the fanbase. Fans seem to appreciate his all-out style of play and manager Buck Showalter appreciated...

On busy Sunday, O's picked up a big win and added lefty to rotation

On busy Sunday, O's picked up a big win and added lefty to rotation
When the Orioles came to bat in the 12th inning on Sunday at Toronto, they had scored just three runs since the start of Saturday's game at Rogers Centre. They had scored just 12 runs during their five-game losing streak. But they scored four runs in that inning - on Jonathan Schoop's single and Adam Jones' three-run homer - as they picked up a huge win. After Saturday's deflating blowout loss and poor starts by Kevin Gausman and Yovani Gallardo in Toronto, the O's pitching was outstanding...

Wrapping up the win that sends Orioles back into first place

Wrapping up the win that sends Orioles back into first place
TORONTO - Even if the Orioles were not calling this a big win, it sure felt like one. Down 2-0 to Toronto in the seventh to American League ERA leader Aaron Sanchez, they scored twice to tie the game and then won it in 12 innings. When the Orioles scored four in the 12th off the Blue Jays bullpen, it not only broke a 2-2 tie, but perhaps got the team out its offensive doldrums. It for sure sent them back into first place with a 6-2 win at Rogers Centre, where they had lost five in a...

Showalter on Wieters starting three in a row (Orioles win in 12)

Showalter on Wieters starting three in a row (Orioles win in 12)
TORONTO - Orioles catcher Matt Wieters recently missed six games with a right foot injury. Today, he is catching for the third time in three games in this series. Manager Buck Showalter said before today's game that is not because of any physical issue with backup Caleb Joseph, who is fine to play. "He (Wieters) feels good," Showalter said. "We thought about him (being off) yesterday, but he felt really good yesterday and wanted to catch. We've got an off-day tomorrow. Try to get Zach...

Showalter on trade talk as non-waiver deadline approaches
TORONTO - The non-waiver trade deadline is now just over 24 hours away. It hits at 4 p.m. Eastern time on Monday. Manager Buck Showalter was asked again today if he feels the Orioles will make a deal. "We've talked about some different things that are out there," he said. "If it fits and is a good move for us now and the future, I'm sure we will. But if not, sometimes the best deals you make are the ones you don't make, too. I have a lot of confidence in our people and I'm trying to stay...

After losing back-to-back games by 6-5 and 9-1 scores, the Orioles have fallen to second place in the American League East, a half-game behind Toronto. They could reclaim the top spot in the division with a win today. According to STATS, LLC., the Orioles have spent 99 of 119 days this season alone in or...

For starters: Right now, Blue Jays rotation trumps O's starting five

For starters: Right now, Blue Jays rotation trumps O's starting five
TORONTO - The Orioles need a win today to avoid a sweep, keep this from being a completely lost weekend in Toronto and keep from falling 1 1/2 games out of first place. There is one stark difference between these teams this year - starting pitching. While Toronto's rotation ERA of 3.72 is second best in the American League, the Orioles' is second-worst at 5.02 We've seen that play out in this series. O's starters Kevin Gausman and Yovani Gallardo have combined to allow 11 runs and four...

TORONTO - The Orioles will have to wait another day for their next shot to pick up a win at Rogers Centre. They've now lost five in a row in this ballpark and the first two games of this series after today's 9-1 defeat. The result produced a change in the standings as the Blue Jays (59-45) moved a half-game ahead of the Orioles (58-45) atop the American League East. The Blue Jays are in first for the first time since they were 2-0. They've won 16 of their last 22 games and are 15-5 in their...

TORONTO - New Orioles reliever Logan Ondrusek pitched in Japan the last two seasons but has not been on the mound in a major league game since he pitched for the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 14, 2014. After he signed with and joined the Orioles yesterday, the 31-year-old right-hander now looks forward to his debut with his new team. "You know, I'm happy to be here," he said this morning in the Orioles clubhouse. "It's a good opportunity for me and the team has been doing really well. Nice to...

O's game blog: Yovani Gallardo on the mound in Game 2 at Toronto
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Yovani Gallardo faced the Toronto Blue Jays twice last year in the regular season for the Texas Rangers and did not allow a run. He faced them last month at Camden Yards and got a win. He has strong career numbers versus the Blue Jays. We'll see if Gallardo can slow down this team this afternoon, as the right-hander with a 3-2 record and 5.37 ERA pitches against Toronto and lefty J.A. Happ, who is 13-3 with a 3.27 ERA. In two 2015 starts for Texas, Gallardo gave...

Can Orioles end struggles at Toronto's Rogers Centre?

Can Orioles end struggles at Toronto's Rogers Centre?
TORONTO - The Orioles need to prove they can beat the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. If they can't do it today, they'll be looking up at the Blue Jays in the standings. Last night's 6-5 loss was frustrating for the team and its fans. Kevin Gausman could not follow up some recent good outings. The Orioles could not start the series off on the right foot. The O's got frustrated at home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez and saw another replay call they thought would go in their favor not go...

O's talk about the frustration of series-opening loss at Toronto

O's talk about the frustration of series-opening loss at Toronto
TORONTO - The Orioles got the start they wanted tonight at Rogers Centre. A struggling offense produced a 2-0 lead when Mark Trumbo plated two with a clutch double with two outs in the first inning. But five batters into the last of the first, O's right-hander Kevin Gausman had allowed three solo homers and the Orioles trailed 3-2. They would never lead again in losing 6-5 in the series opener at a loud Rogers Centre. In losing their fourth straight, the 58-44 Orioles saw their American League...

Kevin Gausman allows three homers in the first (Blue Jays win 6-5)
TORONTO - Well, this did not start as a pitchers' duel. These teams picked up where they left off here early last month when, in a four-game series, Toronto outscored the Orioles 30-24. Tonight, in the first inning, Toronto outscored the Orioles 3-2. The Blue Jays rocked Kevin Gausman for three solo homers in the first five batters. He took the mound leading 2-0, but Jose Bautista blasted a 422-foot shot to left for his 13th homer. One out later, Edwin Encarnacion hit No. 28 and it went 414...

Showalter pregame on Ondrusek, Brach, the offense and more
TORONTO - In adding right-handed reliever Logan Ondrusek today, the Orioles got a pitcher who has had good major league numbers against left-handed batters, a clear factor in this addition. While Ondrusek pitched the last two years in Japan, in 270 2/3 major league innings with Cincinnati between 2010-2014, he held lefty batters to a .236 average and right-handed hitters to an average of .257. "Logan was with Cincinnati and he's been working out and is ready to go," Showalter said. "Pitched...

With bats slumping, Orioles head to Toronto for a big weekend series

With bats slumping, Orioles head to Toronto for a big weekend series
With their one-game trip to Minnesota now behind them, the Orioles can now set their sights on the Toronto Blue Jays and a big weekend series at Rogers Centre. It's a matchup of two of the top teams in the American League East. The Orioles have been rather streaky since the All-Star break. They won the first two out of the break, then lost four in a row, won five in a row and now have lost three in a row. Their offense, so dynamic in June, has looked much less than that lately. The Orioles...

Jimenez allows one run, but bullpen falters in loss to Twins

Jimenez allows one run, but bullpen falters in loss to Twins
On the night that struggling right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez pitched well, those that followed him to the mound in Minnesota could not say the same. The Twins scored four times in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and beat the Orioles 6-2 at Target Field. The Orioles fall to 58-43 with three straight losses that have followed a five-game winning streak. They were trying for a season sweep of the Twins, but must settle for a 5-1 mark. Pitching for the first time since July 8, Jimenez was shaky in a...
