Can O's salvage this road trip or will it get worse?

Can O's salvage this road trip or will it get worse?
LOS ANGELES - New city, same recent result for the Orioles. The flight south from Seattle to Los Angeles did not lead to a win to snap a losing streak. It just led to more frustration. Now they have lost five in a row, the latest defeat a 7-5 loss Monday night at Dodger Stadium. Their starting pitcher seems to get knocked out of the game early every night and their division lead is down to just two games. Is the season starting to unravel 3,000 miles from home or are the Orioles just slumping...

Wrapping up the Orioles' 7-5 loss to the Dodgers

Wrapping up the Orioles' 7-5 loss to the Dodgers
LOS ANGELES - Tonight at Dodger Stadium, a red-hot team met one struggling for wins. The struggling group took the early lead, but in the end, the hot team charged back to win. The Los Angeles Dodgers won for the 15th time in 20 games and ran their home win streak to 10, beating the Orioles 7-5 in front of 47,378. The Orioles fall to 47-35 and have lost a season-high five in a row. Their AL East division lead, which was 5 1/2 games last Wednesday, is down to two games tonight. The pitching and...

Hardy wins long battle with Urias, O's get lead (Dodgers win 7-5)

Hardy wins long battle with Urias, O's get lead (Dodgers win 7-5)
LOS ANGELES - Looking to snap a four-game losing streak, the Orioles got the jump on the Los Angeles Dodgers and their talented young left-hander tonight. After 19-year-old Julio Urias retired the Orioles on just 10 pitches in the top of the first, they worked him for three runs as he needed 41 pitches to get three outs in the second inning. That frame started with a Mark Trumbo single and a Chris Davis walk. Matt Wieters lined to right and both runners moved up. Shortstop J.J. Hardy then...

O's game blog: Yovani Gallardo on the mound in series opener

O's game blog: Yovani Gallardo on the mound in series opener
LOS ANGELES - Trying to avoid what would be a season-high five-game losing streak, the Orioles look to get back in the win column tonight. They face the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium to start a three-game series. Exactly 81 games into the season with 81 more to go the Orioles are 47-34. Boston won this afternoon 12-5 over Texas to move to within 2 ½ games of the Orioles at 45-37. On the mound tonight, Yovani Gallardo (3-1, 5.77 ERA) faces 19-year-old left-hander Julio Urias (1-2,...

Showalter pregame on the bullpen, O'Day and Friday's starter

Showalter pregame on the bullpen, O'Day and Friday's starter
LOS ANGELES - Orioles manager Buck Showalter saw his team allow 31 runs in losing four games at Seattle and his starters cover just 18 innings in that series. Despite that, he said his bullpen is in good shape heading into this three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers that starts tonight. "We came out of four tough days pitching-wise and we have just about everybody available in our bullpen today," Showalter said. "That is a real tribute to trying to stay ahead of some of the things...

O's add D. Alvarez from Norfolk, Aquino from Bowie

O's add D. Alvarez from Norfolk, Aquino from Bowie
LOS ANGELES - The Orioles made four roster moves today in advance of their series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They recalled outfielder Dariel Alvarez from Triple-A Norfolk and left-hander Jayson Aquino from Double-A Bowie. They placed Pedro Alvarez on the bereavement list and optioned left-hander Ariel Miranda to Norfolk. The 27-year-old Dariel Alvarez hit .271/.309/.363 with three home runs, 21 doubles, and 33 RBIs over 82 games this season with Norfolk. He made his big league...

Jones on Kim: "People are eating their words on pointless opinions"

Jones on Kim: "People are eating their words on pointless opinions"
LOS ANGELES - When he hit just .178 in spring training with no extra-base hits and two RBIs in 45 at-bats, who would have expected Korean outfielder Hyun Soo Kim to be playing as well as he has in the first half? He refused to go the the minor leagues and hardly got off the bench early in the year. But now, after 130 at-bats, Kim is batting .338/.423/.477 with nine doubles, three homers and 11 RBIs. Suddenly, his two-year deal for $7 million seems like a bargain. Kim came to the Orioles with a...

Swept in Seattle, can O's rebound in Los Angeles?

Swept in Seattle, can O's rebound in Los Angeles?
SEATTLE - So the Orioles are 7-4 in their last 11 games but they got there in a streaky manner. They won seven in a row for the third time this year to tie a season best. Now they have lost four in a row for the second time to tie a season-worst. Mark Trumbo was asked if he had any concerns about the team rebounding after the Seattle Mariners completed a four-game sweep of the Orioles on Sunday. "I don't think so," Trumbo said. "It's one of those things and we've done that to other teams....

Winless in Seattle: Wrapping up the series loss at Seattle

Winless in Seattle: Wrapping up the series loss at Seattle
SEATTLE - For the Orioles, it was a terrible series in Seattle. They lost four games by a combined 31-15 score. Their starting pitchers gave up 21 runs in 18 innings. Seattle's Seth Smith homered in every game and hit a grand slam today. The Orioles are 1-6 versus the Mariners in 2016. After today's 9-4 loss at Safeco Field, the Orioles reach the season's halfway mark at 47-34. They lead the AL East by three games. But they came to Seattle with a seven-game win streak and leave equaling a...

More with Ariel Miranda (O's lose 9-4, swept four straight at Seattle)
SEATTLE - Cuban-born left-hander Ariel Miranda is in the major leagues for the first time. The Orioles signed the 27-year-old Miranda to a minor league contract in May of 2015 after he pitched for seven seasons in Cuba's Serie Nacional. Today his contract was purchased from Triple-A Norfolk and he was added to the Orioles roster as right-hander Tyler Wilson was optioned to Triple-A. Pitcher Brian Duensing was moved to the 60-day disabled list to make 40-man roster room for Miranda. Miranda is...

SEATTLE - The Orioles' roster is still ever-changing, even when the Orioles have to add player from the East Coast to join them on the West Coast. Cuban-born left-hander Ariel Miranda was added to the roster today and is in the bullpen for today's game. To make roster room, right-hander Tyler Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. To make room on the 40-man roster, pitcher Brian Duensing was transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Miranda is 3-7 with a 4.06 ERA in 15 starts...

O's game blog: Ubaldo Jimenez on mound as O's look to avoid Seattle sweep
SEATTLE - After coming out of a brutal stretch where he pitched to an ERA of 11.47 over seven starts, Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez (5-7, 6.63 ERA) has pitched well in back-to-back games. Does he make it three in a row today at Safeco Field? An O's rotation that has pitched to an ERA of 6.43 its last 15 games could stand to use a good outing as the Orioles look to avoid the four-game sweep at Safeco Field. Both of his last two starts came against the San Diego Padres and Jimenez went 2-0...

O's reach the halfway point today in first, but with rotation concerns

O's reach the halfway point today in first, but with rotation concerns
SEATTLE - First, the good news: The Orioles will reach the halfway point of the 2016 season today and will be in first place. They are 47-33 and will either be on a 94 or 96-win pace after today's game. They will lead the American League East by, at worst, three games at the 81-game mark. Now the not so good news: The Orioles' rotation continues to be an issue, one that threatens to derail this team over the second half. The rotation problems could make it difficult for the offense to keep...

Showalter, Wilson and Wieters after O's blowout loss in Seattle

Showalter, Wilson and Wieters after O's blowout loss in Seattle
SEATTLE - Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer in the first inning tonight for Seattle and Mike Zunino added a two-run shot in the second. But the Mariners were not close to done at that point. Seattle blasted five homers tonight off O's pitchers and right-hander Tyler Wilson allowed a career-high eight runs as the Mariners routed the Orioles 12-6 in front of 29,362 at Safeco Field. The O's came here on a seven-game win streak but have lost three in a row to a Seattle team that is 12-6 versus...

Showalter on lack of bullpen lefties (O's lose 12-6)

Showalter on lack of bullpen lefties (O's lose 12-6)
SEATTLE - As the Orioles face Seattle here at Safeco Field in this four-game series they are playing with just one left-hander in their bullpen, closer Zach Britton. Lefty T.J. McFarland went on the disabled list on Thursday and was replaced by a right-hander. Are the O's a little short on southpaws in the bullpen? "It would be an excuse that we are not going to use," manager Buck Showalter said before tonight's game. "I think it will change at some point. It's a little unconventional,...

O's notes on O'Day, Givens, Wright (Harvey to pitch at Aberdeen)
SEATTLE - The Orioles are hopeful that reliever Darren O'Day could throw another bullpen session when the team plays in Los Angeles starting Monday. But while saying O'Day felt good today and that was a positive step, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said again that O'Day's return from a high hamstring strain is still moving at a slow pace. Showalter made it sound like the chances for O'Day to throw a 'pen session during the upcoming Dodgers series are not great. "That would be a nice...

O's game blog: Tyler Wilson on the mound in Game 3 at Seattle
SEATTLE - The Seattle Mariners have been pretty good this year against the American League East and the Orioles are quite aware of that. Seattle is 4-1 versus the Orioles and 11-6 against the AL East, including a 5-0 record at Safeco Field. The Orioles will try to hand them their first home loss against an AL East team when the clubs play tonight in the third game of a four-game series. The Orioles need to win the next two games to gain a split of this series. Since 2012, the Orioles are 19-14...

O's are rooting hard for Brad Brach to make All-Star team

O's are rooting hard for Brad Brach to make All-Star team
SEATTLE - Brad Brach has been one of the best relief pitchers in the American League this year. And if the right-hander makes the American League All-Star team for the first time, it will be very popular in the Orioles clubhouse. The Orioles are pulling for the 30-year-old right-hander to get selected. His resume is strong. In fact, Brach's stats right now are very similar to the stats that Darren O'Day had last year at the break when he made the team for the first time. That could be...

Showalter on Gausman, Schoop and the rotation
SEATTLE - The Orioles began this series Thursday night at Safeco Field coming off a series at San Diego where they scored 23 runs in winning two games. They had scored 82 runs in their last 10 games and were averaging 6.74 runs per game over the last 27 games. They had scored six runs or more in 16 of those 27 games. That pace was going to eventually slow a bit and it has the last two nights against the Mariners. The O's have scored five runs on 13 hits with one double and two homers in the...

SEATTLE - The Orioles' road trip started with an offensive bang. They scored 23 runs on 29 hits with four homers in two wins at San Diego. But now they have scored just five runs on 13 hits with two homers at Seattle. The Orioles lost 5-2 to the Mariners tonight to fall to 1-4 versus Seattle this year.
