O's game blog: Dan Duquette on Wandy Rodriguez and Andy Oliver
In an interview this afternoon, executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said the Orioles are considering two left-handers currently in the organization to possibly soon join the team. "Wandy Rodriguez is a veteran pitcher and we have to make a decision on him in the next week," Duquette said on 105.7 the Fan. "We've always liked him, he has a good curve. We'll see if there is an opportunity to fit him in. If we don't do something soon, I'm sure he'll be interested...

Dylan Bundy says decision to stop throwing slider/cutter for now was his

Dylan Bundy says decision to stop throwing slider/cutter for now was his
Orioles right-handed reliever Dylan Bundy said the decision for him to - at least for now - not throw his cutter/slider originated with him and that team officials agreed with him. After Bundy allowed two runs over 2 2/3 innings in last night's game, manager Buck Showalter mentioned that Bundy is not throwing the cutter/slider this season. Bundy was shut down after two innings in two games during the Arizona Fall League last November and felt throwing that specific pitch was the reason. "It...

As 'pen deals with loss of O'Day, Britton just keeps rolling right along

As 'pen deals with loss of O'Day, Britton just keeps rolling right along
It seems Orioles closer Zach Britton has set the bar extremely high with his performance since moving into the ninth-inning role. Then he consistently reaches that bar. He began Saturday night tied for the American League lead with 16 saves and his numbers are, yet again, outstanding. He is 2-1 with a 1.16 ERA. Over 23 1/3 innings, he has walked five and fanned 27 with a .139 batting average against. He allows an average of just 4.2 hits along with 10.4 strikeouts and 1.9 walks per every nine...

Adam Jones on the comeback that fell short, Tyler Wilson on his outing

Adam Jones on the comeback that fell short, Tyler Wilson on his outing
The Orioles had come from behind to win their last three games heading into tonight. But they had not come from 7-0 behind to win and they could not do that tonight. The Yankees led 7-0 to the last of the seventh, then watched the Orioles hit three homers that inning to pull within 7-6. But the final was New York 8, Orioles 6 as tonight's comeback bid fell short. "You just keep chipping away," said Adam Jones, whose three-run homer made it 7-6 in the seventh. "You just tell the team, 'Lets...

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...

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
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...
