O's rally falls short in 8-6 loss to Yankees

O's rally falls short in 8-6 loss to Yankees
Well, tonight the Orioles could not come all the way back. They got another shaky starting pitching performance but this time could not quite put up a big enough number on offense to still get a win. But they came close. Trailing by seven heading to the seventh tonight, the Orioles scored six runs to pull within a run. But they would lose by an 8-6 score to the Yankees to fall to 31-23 and one game behind Boston for the AL East lead. Held to three hits in six scoreless innings, the Orioles'...

Darren O'Day provides an update on his hamstring injury

Darren O'Day provides an update on his hamstring injury
Orioles reliever Darren O'Day said this afternoon he first had an issue with his strained right hamstring during the first game of the series in Houston on May 24. It improved and he continued to pitch until it got worse when he was covering first base in the eighth inning on Wednesday night. The Orioles put O'Day on the 15-day disabled list yesterday but he is not certain he will be back when those 15 days are up. "In 15 days? No, I don't know," O'Day said. "There is nobody that is...

Gallardo on his next rehab start and Duensing on joining the Orioles

Gallardo on his next rehab start and Duensing on joining the Orioles
For his next stop in the Orioles farm system, right-hander Yovani Gallardo will head to Triple-A Norfolk to start in a rehab game Tuesday afternoon at 12:05 p.m. at Harbor Park. He is expected to bump his pitch count from the 59 he threw yesterday at Single-A Frederick up to 75-80, and that could set him up to return to the Orioles rotation after that. After allowing some well-placed singles, and giving up seven hits and three runs yesterday, Gallardo was asked if his right shoulder feels fine...

A look at Tanner Scott's improvement at Frederick (plus O's notes)

A look at Tanner Scott's improvement at Frederick (plus O's notes)
He was named to the All-Prospect Team last December by the Arizona Fall League, but left-hander Tanner Scott's Carolina League debut did not go smoothly. Pitching for Single-A Frederick, the 21-year-old southpaw with the fastball that can touch 100 mph had an ERA of 12.19 with 15 walks in 10 1/3 innings in April. On April 27, he gave up seven runs in just 2/3 of an inning. But the Orioles' No. 11 prospect according to Baseball America has been almost unhittable since the calendar flipped to...

Feeling a draft: O's will add amateur talent beginning a week from today
After losing the No. 76 overall selection when they traded pitcher Brian Matusz to Atlanta, the Orioles now have four of the first 91 picks in the First-Year Player Draft, which begins one week from tonight. The Orioles' first four picks will be selections Nos. 27, 54, 69 and 91. Orioles scouting director Gary Rajsich was at Camden Yards yesterday in advance of final draft prep meetings that begin at the Warehouse tomorrow. What is the O's strategy for those top four picks?

Wieters on the win, Wright on his outing and more

Wieters on the win, Wright on his outing and more
Tonight's game is the fourth time in Orioles history that they gave up at least five home runs yet won the game. The last time it happened was April 7, 2000 in a 14-10 win over Detroit. After losing the last two nights, the O's needed this one. Even if it took a season-high number of runs and 3 hours, 58 minutes to get the win 13-9 over Boston. "Big one. We grinded one out," said Matt Wieters, who drove in three runs. "A game where you didn't know what was going to happen. A lot of...

Slugfest at the Yard: O's go homerless, but score season-high 13 to win

Slugfest at the Yard: O's go homerless, but score season-high 13 to win
The first three innings of tonight's game ended with the Orioles leading Boston 8-7 and produced a few questions. Just how many runs did these teams intend to score tonight? How many more homers would Mookie Betts hit? How many homers would Boston hit before the Orioles got their first in this series? Would this game end before breakfast? There were other, but those were some of the highlights. When it was finally over, after 3 hours, 58 minutes, the Orioles had picked up an important 13-9 win...

O's game blog: Mike Wright on the mound in Game 3 against Boston
The Orioles will need to beat Boston the next two nights at Camden Yards to split this four-game series with the American League East leaders. At 32-20, Boston has opened a three-game lead atop the division over the Orioles, who have a 28-22 record 50 games into the 2016 season. The Orioles' current win percentage of .560, if maintained over 162 games, would produce a final record of 91-71. Boston is on a 100-win pace. While the Red Sox are 24-11 since starting the season 8-9, the Orioles have...

With a ninth-inning out last night, Ashur Tolliver kept his name out of the record book

With a ninth-inning out last night, Ashur Tolliver kept his name out of the record book
When Orioles rookie left-hander Ashur Tolliver was called in to pitch the ninth inning last night - on just his eighth day in the big leagues - his first batter was Mookie Betts. The Red Sox right fielder had already homered in the first and third innings off Kevin Gausman and in the seventh off Dylan Bundy. Betts was trying for a four-homer night and to make Tolliver his third victim of the evening. Only 16 players in major league history have hit four home runs in one game. Betts was chasing...

The Red Sox have handled the Orioles the last two games (plus other notes)

The Red Sox have handled the Orioles the last two games (plus other notes)
Captain Obvious believes the Boston Red Sox have badly outplayed the Orioles the last two games. In two days, the Orioles have seen firsthand they will have a battle on their hands for a division title this year. Boston is the better team right now and the Orioles have only, well, 112 games now to prove that is not so. Boston has seen some of its young talent really take off, while at the same time, some of its senior citizens are playing better than expected. It's been a great combination to...

Betts hits three homers, Gausman allows three as Boston wins 6-2

Betts hits three homers, Gausman allows three as Boston wins 6-2
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman gave up three home runs in his last start at Houston. Tonight, he gave up three more in the first two innings. Meanwhile Boston's Mookie Betts hit three in this game by himself. Gausman gave up five early runs tonight. He would settle in, but the damage was done as Boston beat the Orioles 6-2 at Camden Yards. The Red Sox (32-20) have taken the first two games of the series by a combined 13-4 score as the Orioles (28-22) have fallen three games back of Boston...
