O's game blog: Yovani Gallardo faces Angels in second game of series

O's game blog: Yovani Gallardo faces Angels in second game of series
After last night's ugly 9-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles need to beat Los Angeles the next two days to win this series. By doing that, the Birds would avoid losing only their second home series of the 2016 season. The O's fell to 31-14 at home last night. That result ended their five-game home winning streak, and they are 14-4 in their past 18 games at Camden Yards. Toronto and Boston both won on Friday night to gain ground on the Orioles, who are 49-36. The Blue Jays are now...

Solid bat, improved defense have led Chance Sisco to the Futures Game

Solid bat, improved defense have led Chance Sisco to the Futures Game
He is one of the Orioles' top prospects. While he has never been ranked in an end-of-season top 100 list by Baseball America, catcher Chance Sisco was rated No. 85 yesterday when it released its mid-season top 100 prospects report. The Orioles' 21-year-old Double-A catcher is trending up. The kid the Orioles drafted out of a California high school in the second round in 2013 has always hit well for average. But this year, his defense seems to be taking some steps forward, too. All of this is...

Jimenez and Wieters after O's loss to Angels

Jimenez and Wieters after O's loss to Angels
After his latest poor outing - one in which he gave up five runs and five hits in 1 1/3 innings - Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez said this is the toughest stretch of his career. "There is no doubt about it," he said. "This is the toughest thing I've had to face, but like I've said before, I'm never going to put my head down. I know I let the team down. I didn't do what I'm supposed to do, helping the team. But it's part of baseball. It's part of baseball. I have to keep going,...

Ubaldo Jimenez struggles again, O's blasted in series opener

Ubaldo Jimenez struggles again, O's blasted in series opener
It got even worse tonight for struggling Orioles pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. He had another short outing, put his team behind four runs early in the game and didn't survive the second inning. Jimenez allowed five runs and five hits over 1 2/3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Orioles 9-5 in front of 44,317 at Camden Yards. On the night the Orioles honored the 50th anniversary of the 1966 world champions, the Orioles pitched nothing like that club did that October. And with Toronto's win...

Mark Trumbo talks about the Home Run Derby

Mark Trumbo talks about the Home Run Derby
The Orioles' Mark Trumbo is the major league leader with 26 home runs and the top seed for Monday's eight-player Home Run Derby competition at the All-Star game. It is an event that he looks forward to and said he will enjoy. But just how important is this event to Trumbo? "Not very," he said this afternoon in the Orioles clubhouse. "It is a lot of fun, but is not something I'm going to lose too much sleep over. I'm going to give the best effort I can. Hopefully it works out, but if it...

Time for some home cooking before the break (plus other O's notes)
The Orioles, who own a .705 winning percentage at Camden Yards this year, are about to enjoy some home cooking heading into the All-Star break.

The Orioles have lost just one of 14 home series. They have 10 home series wins, one loss (to Seattle) and have tied three series at Camden Yards. The Orioles are 31-13 at home and have...

Another look at how the Orioles ended the road trip on a high note

Another look at how the Orioles ended the road trip on a high note
LOS ANGELES - When the game ended, the Los Angeles Dodgers had just one relief pitcher left and were out of position players. The Orioles had two relievers left and J.J. Hardy still available. After they played for 5 hours and 26 minutes and over 14 innings, the Orioles outlasted the Dodgers to post an impressive 6-4 victory. The O's bullpen pitchers - they used six after starter Kevin Gausman - refused to give up the big hit. As the game went on to the 10th, then 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th, it...

After long day, Orioles talk about 14-inning win over the Dodgers

After long day, Orioles talk about 14-inning win over the Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - The Orioles' bullpen kept getting huge outs, but the Orioles offense kept making outs. Mark Trumbo tied the game 4-4 with a homer in the sixth inning. When the O's batted in the top of the 14th against the Los Angeles Dodgers, it was still a 4-4 game. Orioles hitters had a stretch after Trumbo's roundtripper where they went 0-for-21 with 12 strikeouts. Mercifully, that would change. At the same time, the Orioles' bullpen made sure that Dodgers batters didn't come through...

Caleb Joseph on facing Bud Norris (Orioles win 6-4)
LOS ANGELES - The Orioles trail the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 this afternoon in the third inning against their former teammate, pitcher Bud Norris. Justin Turner hit a two-run homer in the first off Kevin Gausman. The dinger was No. 12 for Turner and it came on a 1-0, 94 mph fastball. The Orioles got one back in the second. Mark Trumbo was credited with a leadoff double when his high pop that should have been caught got lost in the sun by the left side of the Dodgers infield. Two batters later,...

Notes on Friday's starter, Sedlock's debut and more
LOS ANGELES - Orioles manager Buck Showalter still has not announced which pitcher will start Friday's series opener at home against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Showalter was asked if it will be an internal candidate. "All options are open. See how we get through today. Put our best foot forward today and put our best foot forward on Friday," he said. Showalter was asked if Friday's start could be a bullpen game, where he uses several pitchers to cover the nine innings. "If it was...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman on mound in L.A. series finale

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman on mound in L.A. series finale
LOS ANGELES - Back in late May, the Orioles had a three-city road trip with two series on the West Coast. They went 4-5 on that excursion to Anaheim, Houston and Cleveland. A win today at Dodger Stadium would make the Orioles 4-5 on this trip to San Diego, Seattle and Los Angeles. That would not be a winning trip, of course, but a respectable mark to finish 4-5. Of course, the trip got off to a 2-0 start at San Diego before five consecutive losses followed that. After Chris Tillman gave his...

A few notes on Tuesday's win and more with the All-Stars
LOS ANGELES - Now that the Orioles have a win, how about two in a row? Now that they saw their starting pitcher record a quality start, what about doing that again? The Orioles scored one more run on Monday at Dodger Stadium (5), than they did in last night's 4-1 win. But Chris Tillman pitched his team to a victory, going seven innings, allowing five hits and one run. That was a big outing for an Orioles team that had a rotation ERA of 10.22 during a five-game losing streak. A few notes on the...

Tillman, Machado and Showalter after O's 4-1 win
LOS ANGELES - Looking to end a five-game losing streak and finally get a deep start from their rotation, the Orioles got both tonight. Chris Tillman allowed just one run over seven innings in their 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers had won five in a row and 15 of 20 games, and also had a 10-game home winning streak riding. That ended as Tillman threw six scoreless after he and the Orioles fell behind 1-0 in the first inning. He gave up five hits with two walks and two...

Facing Norris, Aquino's arrival, Shorebirds pitcher gets award
LOS ANGELES - The Orioles will have a reunion of sorts with old friend Bud Norris in the final game of this series on Wednesday afternoon. He will pitch for the Dodgers against Kevin Gausman. Los Angeles acquired Norris in a trade from Atlanta last Thursday and he made his Dodgers debut the next night. He threw six scoreless innings on two hits against Colorado. The start before that with Atlanta, he threw seven shutout innings. The Orioles last saw a badly struggling Norris, but he turned his...
