Ubaldo Jimenez records first quality start since May 7, O's top Padres

Ubaldo Jimenez records first quality start since May 7, O's top Padres
When he gave up two singles and a run to the first three batters in the first inning, it looked as it Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez might be on his way to yet another poor outing. But tonight he wrote a different script. Jimenez allowed just two runs and four hits over six innings as the Orioles beat San Diego 7-2 at Camden Yards to split a two-game series. The victory was the Orioles' 1,000th in Camden Yards history, counting the postseason. They are now 1,000-959 at Oriole Park since...

O's game blog: Ubaldo Jimenez on the mound in series finale

O's game blog: Ubaldo Jimenez on the mound in series finale
Can a struggling pitcher turn it around and pitch the Orioles to a win tonight? Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez (3-7, 7.34 ERA) makes his 14th start and tries to pitch the Orioles past San Diego to gain a split of this two-game series. Jimenez's last two appearances came against Toronto - one as a starter and one out of the bullpen. He gave up 10 runs over 2 2/3 innings in those games. Over his past seven games, he is 1-4 with an ERA of 11.47. He has allowed five or more runs in five if his past...

O's Brian Duensing on heading to the DL, Ashur Tolliver on returning to team
Orioles lefty reliever Brian Duensing went on the 15-day disabled list this afternoon, retroactive to June 20, with left elbow inflammation, and lefty Ashur Tolliver was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Duensing said he will have an arthroscopic procedure on Friday that will likely keep him out four to eight weeks. He is hoping for an Aug. 1 return. He said there are what he described as cartilage chips in the elbow that got irritated over the years and will be removed. How he discovered the...

O's notes on bouncing back, Jonathan Schoop, the bullpen and more

O's notes on bouncing back, Jonathan Schoop, the bullpen and more
The Orioles have been resilient this year and they have to be that again now. The last two days, they've gone to Texas and back. They lost games to the Rangers and Padres by 4-3 and 10-7 scores. They held a three-run lead in each game, but could not win either. Over the last three games, the Orioles have scored 21 runs on 44 hits, but they have won just one of those three games. But last night, every team in the American League East lost, so the Orioles remain in first place by one game over...

Zach Britton, Pedro Alvarez and Tyler Wilson after O's loss to Padres

Zach Britton, Pedro Alvarez and Tyler Wilson after O's loss to Padres
The Orioles' trek to Texas and back has resulted so far in two losses the last two days - two losses in games where the Orioles held three-run leads. Tonight, they went to the seventh ahead of last-place San Diego 6-3. But they saw the Padres score the game's next seven runs to win 10-7. O's closer Zach Britton was asked if the tough travel back and forth to Texas contributed to tonight's loss. "I mean, that's an easy excuse," Britton said. "But baseball is a tough grind, our schedule...

One that got away: Padres rally for 10-7 win over Orioles

One that got away: Padres rally for 10-7 win over Orioles
The Padres came to Camden Yards with a last-place record but with an offense that was showing signs of life this month. The Orioles got a good look at it tonight. The Padres scored four runs in the top of the seventh against the O's bullpen to rally past the Orioles 10-7 at Camden Yards. The O's have lost back-to-back games to fall to 40-30. They held a three-run lead in each of those games. But with the Red Sox also losing, the O's maintain a one-game lead atop the American League East. On...

O's game blog: More on Drake, Bundy and tonight's game (start delayed)

O's game blog: More on Drake, Bundy and tonight's game (start delayed)
With the Orioles adding right-handed reliever Oliver Drake to their roster today, manager Buck Showalter said one challenge for Drake in the past at the big league level has been the ability to pitch multiple innings. "You'd like to have the people you bring up be able to pitch multiple innings," Showalter said. "And when Ollie is taking 20 to 30 pitches to get through an inning, you can't do that. And he has been much more efficient with that. That was a point of emphasis for him when he...

O's add Drake, outright Janish; Duensing dealing with elbow issue

O's add Drake, outright Janish; Duensing dealing with elbow issue
On Monday, right-hander Oliver Drake was named the International League Pitcher of the Week. Today, he got an even better reward: another trip to the big leagues. The Orioles today recalled Drake from Triple-A Norfolk, and infielder Paul Janish cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A. Because Janish has been outrighted before, he has three days to decide whether he will report to the Tides or elect free agency. Today's moves leaves the Orioles' 40-man roster at 39. "Paul's a pro,"...

A look at the rotation's struggles and Kevin Gausman's latest outing
The Orioles rotation just can't get seem to develop much consistency. The night after Tyler Wilson pitched eight scoreless against Boston, Mike Wright gave up eight runs.

Over the last four games, O's starters have an ERA of 8.68, allowing 18 runs over 18 2/3. In the past 11 games, O's starters have an ERA of 6.83. For the season, the rotation ERA is 4.97. That is...

O's get early lead in Texas, but lose 4-3 to Rangers

O's get early lead in Texas, but lose 4-3 to Rangers
It was a frustrating evening for the Orioles on their one-night trip to Texas. They took a three-run lead. They lost 4-3 to the surging Rangers. O's right-hander Kevin Gausman, given little run support often this year, this time could not protect the early lead his team provided him. Gausman has been struggling for a few starts now and it continued tonight. He allowed a solo homer to Ian Desmond in the third to make it a 3-1 game. Then Texas scored three runs an inning later for the 4-3 lead....

Wieters and Schoop combine for seven RBIs in win over Blue Jays
Chris Tillman had one bad inning. It elevated his pitch count and got him out of this game sooner than he wanted. But the Orioles' offense had a few good innings and that was more than enough. The O's took the final two games of this series, beating Toronto today 11-6 at Camden Yards as Matt Wieters went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and Jonathan Schoop went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer. The Orioles' offense produced a season-high 19 hits in 41 at-bats. Their 11 runs were two off the season...

Showalter pregame on O'Day and the challenge of the Texas trip
Orioles reliever Darren O'Day, on the disabled list since June 3 with a right hamstring strain, did some throwing on the field today at Camden Yards, but not yet on a mound. Manger Buck Showalter was asked if he has a timetable yet for O'Day's return. "We can see one developing," Showalter said. "You know he has played catch and thrown but today was the first day where he simulated his delivery on flat ground and felt good. That is a good sign. So hopefully we are headed that way, but...

Brach on Britton: "I knew a double play was coming" (plus 101-year-old fan's first pitch)

Brach on Britton: "I knew a double play was coming" (plus 101-year-old fan's first pitch)
About the time O's closer Zach Britton allowed a single and back-to-back walks to load the bases in the ninth inning yesterday, Brad Brach thought, 'What, me worry?' Brach has seen Britton pitch too well too many times to think this one would get away from one of the best closers in baseball. Seconds later, Brach was on the field shaking hands after Britton got Josh Donaldson to bounce into a game-ending double play and the Orioles had a much-needed 4-2 win over Toronto. "I knew a double...
