A look at two starting pitchers excelling for the Frederick Keys (plus O's notes)

A look at two starting pitchers excelling for the Frederick Keys (plus O's notes)
Neither pitcher was a high draft pick. Both are 23 and having very solid seasons for the Orioles' Single-A Frederick affiliate. Right now, they hold two of the top three spots among Carolina League ERA leaders. Left-hander John Means was drafted by the Orioles in Round 11 in 2014 out of West Virginia University. In that same draft, the Orioles took right-hander Matthew Grimes in Round 18 out of Georgia Tech. So far, they have combined to make 16 starts for Frederick and have allowed two earned...

Mychal Givens talks strikeouts and his numbers against lefty batters

Mychal Givens talks strikeouts and his numbers against lefty batters
Orioles reliever Mychal Givens pitched his latest solid outing on Sunday against Detroit. He threw two scoreless innings with three strikeouts and is now 2-0 with an ERA of 2.25 over 15 games. "Just trying to bounce back each time, just take one pitch at a time. Trying to get ahead and stay ahead and put the pressure on the hitters," Givens said. After allowing three runs over his first two outings, he has given up just one earned run over 14 innings in his past 13 appearances. The...

Brian Matusz on his struggles, Ubaldo Jimenez on his rough outing
Orioles lefty reliever Brian Matusz had allowed four runs in his first six appearances this season. Tonight he allowed four runs in just 1 2/3 innings as the Orioles got routed 10-0 by Seattle. It was the O's largest shutout loss since a 11-0 defeat against Houston on July 31, 2013 at Camden Yards. It was their largest shutout loss versus Seattle since 11-0 on May 20, 2004. Called on to face lefty hitting Kyle Seager with two on in the fifth inning, Matusz allowed a three-run homer on an 0-2...

Nelson Cruz drives in five runs as Seattle routs the Orioles

Nelson Cruz drives in five runs as Seattle routs the Orioles
Coming into tonight, O's starting pitchers had put together a solid run to help the team move 10 games over .500. But that run did not continue. Allowing four or more runs for the third time in his last four starts, Ubaldo Jimenez got knocked out with one out in the fifth as the Seattle Mariners routed the Orioles 10-0 to start a three-game series. Following Jimenez to the mound, lefty reliever Brian Matusz could not stop the Mariners from scoring. He gave up five runs and two homers over 1...

Adam Jones with props for pitchers and a welcome back to three Mariners

Adam Jones with props for pitchers and a welcome back to three Mariners
The Orioles begin their series at home tonight with the Seattle Mariners. Right now, the Birds are leading the American League East by percentage points over Boston. They are 23-13 overall, 16-6 at home and have won 12 of their last 17 games. Today, outfielder Adam Jones said the O's pitching staff that ranks third in the AL with a 3.53 ERA, deserves the bulk of the props. "Our offense, you can give us all the credit you want, but if we are sitting out there on defense inning after inning, we...

No strikeouts, no problem: Chris Lee thriving at Bowie (plus Peralta update)

No strikeouts, no problem: Chris Lee thriving at Bowie (plus Peralta update)
Orioles pitching prospect Chris Lee has picked up in 2016 where he left off in 2015. He pitched well for the Orioles at Single-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie after they acquired him in a trade with Houston last May. Acquired for two international bonus slots worth $655,000, the 23-year-old left-hander jumped right into the list of the Orioles' top 10 prospects at No. 6 by Baseball America. He has done nothing this year to hurt that standing. Lee is 5-0 with a 2.41 ERA in six games for Bowie....

Darren O'Day very critical of umpire after strike call he didn't get

Darren O'Day very critical of umpire after strike call he didn't get
The Orioles were leading 5-4 in the eighth inning with Darren O'Day on the mound and two outs. O'Day threw a 2-2 pitch to Detroit's J.D. Martinez and thought Martinez, trying to check his swing, instead went too far and struck out. Home plate umpire Jeff Kellogg appealed to first base umpire Mark Wegner. No swing, Wegner ruled. On the 3-2 pitch, Martinez homered to tie the game. On the next pitch, Miguel Cabrera homered and Detroit had the lead - and later the 6-5 win. O'Day, who had...

Detroit homers twice in the eighth to end O's win steak

Detroit homers twice in the eighth to end O's win steak
The Orioles entered today's eighth inning with a record of 17-1 when leading after seven innings. But they could not add to that or extend their seven-game win streak. Detroit's J.D. Martinez and Miguel Cabrera hit back-to-back solo homers off Darren O'Day in the eighth as Detroit rallied for a 6-5 win over the Orioles this afternoon. Looking for their first eight-game win streak since April 22-May 1, 2005, the Orioles were instead dealt one tough loss. They fall to 23-13 overall and to 16-6...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman on the mound as O's go for sweep
The Orioles today look for their first four-game home sweep of the Detroit Tigers since April 17-20, 1992. They also look for a season-high eight-game winning streak. If they get the win, it will be the O's first eight-game winning streak since April 22-May 1, 2005. Kevin Gausman (0-1, 2.16 ERA) makes his fifth start of 2016 today, looking for his first win, and pitches against Detroit right-hander Michael Fulmer (2-1, 6.00 ERA). Gausman's lack of wins has not been because he has pitched...

Another win and another night producing some amazing stats and notes

Another win and another night producing some amazing stats and notes
After their latest win last night by a 9-3 score over the Detroit Tigers, there are some amazing notes and statistics right now involving this Orioles team. The Orioles are now 23-12 overall and 16-5 at Camden Yards. How about the fact that the Orioles had just two seven-game winning streaks over the stretch from 2000 through 2015, according to ESPN? So that is two streaks of seven games over 2,592 games. Now they have two in one season and they have two in the first 35 games of this...

O's game blog: Orioles look to run win streak to seven against Detroit
The Orioles have been getting some real solid pitching most of this season and we've seen them deliver a real nice stretch of pitching during their current six-game win streak. The O's staff has given up three runs or less in five of those six wins, allowing 15 runs total with a team ERA of 2.33 during this streak. The O's bullpen has not allowed a run in 14 2/3 innings during the winning stretch. The win streak has lifted the Orioles' record to 22-12 as they host the Tigers tonight in the...

Darren O'Day on his strong outing and the challenge of facing Miguel Cabrera
Chris Tillman had another outstanding outing for the Orioles last night. He went seven scoreless innings to improve to 5-1 with a 2.58 ERA. The Orioles have won seven of his eight starts this season. That was one impressive stat for Tillman. But he doesn't get his latest win if the Orioles' late-inning relievers don't do what they usually do: get big outs with little margin for error. No margin for error really, as Darren O'Day and Zach Britton got the last six outs, throwing a combined 18...

Tillman on the win, Jones on 200, O'Day on attempted homer catch
Chris Tillman's 2016 season just seems to keep getting better and better. Tonight, he pitched seven scoreless innings as the Orioles beat the Tigers 1-0 on Adam Jones' 200th career home run. The Orioles have won six in a row to get to 22-12. With Houston's win over Boston tonight, the O's claim sole possession of first place in the American League East. After the game, Jones was heaping some big praise on Tillman, who is now 5-1 with a 2.58 ERA over eight starts. The Orioles are 7-1 in...

Chris Tillman with seven scoreless and Adam Jones homers in 1-0 win
Last night, the Orioles scored seven runs without a homer. Tonight, the one run they got came via a homer. Chris Tillman and the bullpen made that stand up. Adam Jones homered as the Orioles beat Detroit 1-0 at Camden Yards. Tillman threw 107 pitches over seven scoreless innings to win again for the Orioles. He is 5-1 with an ERA of 2.58 and the Orioles are 7-1 in his eight starts. Darren O'Day pitched the eighth and Zach Britton got the last three outs for his 10th save. The O's stretch...

One night after their comeback to win from a 5-0 deficit, the Orioles look for a victory tonight in the second game of their series against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards.

Then they added five runs on six hits in the seventh to get the 7-5 lead and won by that margin. The Orioles have now won five in a row, seven of nine and...
