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...

Showalter on today's lineup decisions

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...

Showalter on Davis' slump (O's win wild one 7-5 over White Sox)

Showalter on Davis' slump (O's win wild one 7-5 over White Sox)
CHICAGO - As this game began tonight, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is mired in a long slump. He has just six hits in his last 53 at-bats. Over his past 24 games, Davis is batting .138 with one homer and four RBIs. When asked today if he has seen signs recently of Davis breaking out of this slump, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he had not. But there are reasons he continues to start Davis every day. "Not really. I like the fact that he is continuing to walk," Showalter said. "I...

Pregame notes and updates from Chicago

Pregame notes and updates from Chicago
CHICAGO - Orioles left-hander Wade Miley said his lower left calf felt fine today. He took a comebacker off that calf in the fifth inning of his Orioles debut last night. "No news is good news," manager Buck Showalter said today of Miley. "Richie (Bancells, head athletic trainer) felt good about it last night. It didn't swell much last night. I haven't heard anything from Richie today on it, which is good news, and I'm not expecting anything. He should be OK." Left-hander T.J. McFarland,...

Wieters on facing Gonzalez and starting seven straight games

Wieters on facing Gonzalez and starting seven straight games
CHICAGO - Over the years, the Orioles' Matt Wieters has caught many of Miguel Gonzalez's starts. Tonight, he'll be in the batter's box trying to get a hit off his former teammate when the Orioles begin this three-game series with the Chicago White Sox. In the visiting clubhouse today, Wieters talked about his affection for the right-hander, and it sounded like he meant more as a person and teammate than a pitcher. "He was fun to work with as a pitcher, but he was a great teammate,"...

Wade Miley on his debut, Hyun Soo Kim on his first Oriole Park homer
New Orioles left-hander Wade Miley said he should be fine after taking a comebacker off his lower leg to end his outing tonight. Rougned Odor's hot smash up the middle deflected off Miley and toward second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who threw Odor out to end the top of the fifth inning. "It is on the (left) lower calf," Miley said. "It tightened up a little bit. But it's going to be fine. Not a big concern at all. Just one of those things. I'm glad it hit me. It would have been one more run...

Zach Britton talks about setting a major league record
After recording his latest save last night in the 3-2 win over Texas, Orioles closer Zach Britton is a major league record holder. He is 2-1 with a 0.59 ERA and 33 saves in 33 chances. According to STATS, LLC, Britton has the longest save streak in as many chances to start a season by a left-handed pitcher in major league history.

A look at Kevin Gausman's home versus road stats, plus other notes
In the first two innings last night, it didn't look like Kevin Gausman was on his game. The Orioles right-hander allowed a run in the first and threw 35 pitches as Texas cut the O's two-run lead into a one-run game in the second. But without warning, Gausman got locked in. After throwing 50 pitches over those first two innings, he needed to throw just 58 more pitches over the next five innings. With Texas left-hander Cole Hamels getting locked in himself, the Orioles needed Gausman's big...

So over the last three games, the Orioles have won games started by Toronto's Aaron Sanchez and by Yu Darvish and Cole Hamels of the Texas Rangers. Sanchez was first in the American League in ERA when they faced him and Hamels was second when he took the mound tonight. But the Orioles scored three in the first off Hamels and their pitching made it stand up for a 3-2 win.
