Jimenez knocked out in first inning (O's hit five homers, but lose 10-9)

Jimenez knocked out in first inning (O's hit five homers, but lose 10-9)
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez faced seven batters and got just one out. The Orioles trailed by five after an inning. Mark Trumbo was called out on batter interference in the top of the second. How is your day going? Pounded 11-6 by Toronto on Saturday, Jimenez picked a bad time to have the shortest start of his career today. But it went this way - double, RBI double, RBI single, strikeout, single, RBI double, two-run double. At that point, Vance Worley came on and got two...

Showalter: Hardy getting close, Bundy's bullpen role and more
TORONTO - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy last played for the team on May 1. He has been out since then with a fractured left foot. But his return to the club is now finally getting close. In the next few days, Hardy may be playing on a minor league rehab assignment. He could need just a few games there to get ready to rejoin the Orioles. "Yeah, he's close," manager Buck Showalter said today in his pregame media session. "I'm not going to jinx it. See how today and tomorrow goes, but he's...

O's game blog: Jimenez faces Toronto in series finale

O's game blog: Jimenez faces Toronto in series finale
TORONTO - The winning team has trailed at some point in each of the first three games of the series between the Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. So the key today is to fall behind? For the Orioles, the key is probably to get a much better pitched game than yesterday when they lost 11-6 and allowed a season-high tying 11 runs. O's pitchers have allowed 20 runs and 31 hits in the series. They didn't yield a homer in Thursday's win, but have given up five the past two games. The...

O's notes, more with Gallardo, the draft and praise for Flaherty

O's notes, more with Gallardo, the draft and praise for Flaherty
TORONTO - It didn't seem it took that long for the Orioles to go from the feel-good postgame clubhouse after Thursday's win to a mini crisis with their pitchers after allowing 11 runs in Saturday's loss at Rogers Centre. The Orioles now have now lost three times when scoring six or more runs and Toronto has won twice when allowing six or more after yesterday's 11-6 win by Toronto. They have taken two of three in the series which concludes this afternoon. The Orioles went 3-6 at Rogers...

Showalter on the loss, Wright and McFarland on outings against Jays

Showalter on the loss, Wright and McFarland on outings against Jays
TORONTO - For the Orioles today, it started with their starter. Right-hander Mike Wright walked a season-high five batters and O's pitching never could recover. Even after the Orioles rallied from 3-0 down to lead 4-3 in the sixth on Manny Machado's homer, the Toronto Blue Jays kept teeing off. O's pitchers fueled that with eight walks and a hit batter. For one day at least, Rogers Centre was once again a house of horrors for O's hurlers. On a day where manager Buck Showalter said he had...

O's again draft Bobby Bonilla's son (Orioles lose 11-6)

O's again draft Bobby Bonilla's son (Orioles lose 11-6)
TORONTO - The Orioles today drafted left-handed pitcher Brandon Bonilla for the second time. They drafted the 22-year-old Bonilla this afternoon in round 13 out of Hawaii Pacific University. They also selected him in round 25 in 2014, but failed to sign him then and he went back to school. Bonilla is the son of former Oriole Bobby Bonilla and the godson of Barry Bonds. The sides never came too close on a deal in 2014. Brandon Bonilla was the closer this year and earned a spot on the National...

Gallardo on next rehab start and pregame notes from Rogers Centre

Gallardo on next rehab start and pregame notes from Rogers Centre
TORONTO - After two minor league rehab starts - one at Single-A Frederick and one at Triple-A Norfolk - the Orioles decided that right-hander Yovani Gallardo, on the DL with right shoulder tendinitis, would need a third before he is expected to return to their rotation on June 18 when the Orioles host Toronto. Gallardo will leave here tomorrow and fly to Charlotte. He'll pitch there for the Tides on Monday night. "You know, I'm OK with it," Gallardo said this morning. "It was a group...

O's game blog: Mike Wright faces Toronto in Game 3 of series
TORONTO - When the Orioles face the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon at Rogers Centre, we will find out if rookie right-hander Mike Wright can build on his best start of the 2016 season. On Monday at home against Kansas City, Wright gave up one unearned run on five hits over seven innings with two walks and four strikeouts. He threw shutout ball the first six innings of that game. The game followed by just days Wright being optioned to the minors. But he quickly returned to the roster when...

A look at close Orioles-Blue Jays games, plus plenty of other notes
TORONTO - The Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays played yet another close game last night. The Orioles trailed and won on Thursday night. Toronto trailed 3-2 and won 4-3 in 10 innings last night. Edwin Encarnacion's fifth career walk-off homer gave the Blue Jays the victory, sending most of the crowd of 44,439 home happy. Orioles right-hander Brad Brach gave up just his second homer of the year over 33 1/3 innings. The Orioles bullpen had a run of 16 2/3 scoreless innings over the past six...

Brach on the home run pitch (plus other quotes)
TORONTO - Orioles reliever Brad Brach had no margin for error tonight. He entered in the bottom of the ninth of a 3-3 game at Rogers Centre and retired Toronto in order to send the game to the 10th. But after the Orioles could not take the lead in their half of the 10th off Drew Storen, Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion homered to right field off Brach to give the Blue Jays a 4-3, walk-off win. The teams have played five games this year and all have been decided by one run, with two in extra...

Donaldson's single gives Jays lead (Jays with 4-3, walk-off win)
TORONTO - For the second night in a row in this series, the Toronto Blue Jays had the lead after the first inning against the Orioles. It was 3-1 last night and 1-0 tonight on an unearned run. Right fielder Ezequiel Carrera, playing for the injured Jose Bautista (right thigh tightness), led off with a bunt single and advanced to third on Kevin Gausman's errant pickoff throw, which was low and past first base. Josh Donaldson then lined a single to right and, two batters into the game, Toronto...

Showalter defends O's farm during pregame media session
TORONTO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter today took the occasion of the baseball draft to defend his team's farm system. As teams all around the majors are looking to add players in the draft right now to one day help their big league team, Showalter feels the O's system has been productive for the big league team, a team that leads the American League with 391 wins since 2012. "I look at last night and I do think about this," Showalter said. "We've got two rookie pitchers - Tyler Wilson...

Dylan Bundy on his strong outing last night and increased velocity

Dylan Bundy on his strong outing last night and increased velocity
TORONTO - Orioles reliever Dylan Bundy had been scored on in five of his six previous outings when he took the mound in the sixth inning at Rogers Centre last night. The Orioles were trailing 5-4 and if Bundy could keep Toronto off the board, they might have a chance to post another comeback win. He did just that with one of his best outings in the majors. Over 2 1/3 scoreless innings and 47 pitches (his second most this year), Bundy allowed just one hit - a bunt single - and fanned three...

Another look at an impressive win to start the road trip
TORONTO - The Orioles have had a pair of seven-game winning streaks this year and now they have a five-game win streak after Thursday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. This was a pleasing win for the Orioles in many ways. They won in a place where they went 3-6 last year. They came from behind, trailing 4-1 in the second and 5-3 in the fourth. They pinned a loss on Jays' closer Roberto Osuna. They used situational hitting to take the lead in the ninth. Chris Davis went 2-for-3...

Chris Davis: "It was nice to be the guy tonight" (plus clubhouse quotes)
TORONTO - For the Orioles, it was yet another comeback win. For Chris Davis, it was a chance to break out of a batting slump and make a big contribution tonight. Davis drove in three runs - including the tying and go-ahead runs - as the Orioles rallied to beat Toronto 6-5 in front of 41,448 at Rogers Centre. It was a nice start to a challenging seven-game road trip that moves to Boston next after this four-game series. Over his last 20 games coming into tonight, Davis was batting just .137...

Toronto gets three in the first (Orioles win 6-5)
TORONTO - This stat should tell you how tonight's game started for Orioles right-hander Tyler Wilson: In a span of six batters in the first inning he gave up three runs against Toronto. That matched the run total the O's staff had allowed combined over the previous four games. The O's trailed 3-1 at the end of the first tonight at Rogers Centre. It began well for the Orioles. Adam Jones walked on six pitches to start the game and advanced to second on Hyun Soo Kim's groundout. He scored...

Showalter and Machado on his suspension (plus other notes)
TORONTO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter initially said he would prefer not to comment on Manny Machado's four-game suspension until it became official and had been announced by Major League Baseball. But thanks to the ability to see an e-mail from MLB on a cell phone, reporters saw it become official today before his pregame media session ended. Another two minutes and the skipper would have gotten away. But the announcement came out and Showalter provided his reaction. MLB's announcement...

O's game blog: Tyler Wilson faces Marcus Stroman in road trip opener
TORONTO - The Orioles have been a much better team at home than on the road this year. Beginning tonight they have a chance to improve on that. The American League East leaders begin a four-game series in Toronto tonight against the defending division champs. This trip then heads to Fenway Park for a three-game series against Boston. It is a rather important trip where the Orioles will face their closest pursuers in the AL East. At 35-23, the Orioles are a season-high 12 games over .500. They...
