O's game blog: Tyler Wilson makes his first 2016 start as O's play K.C.

Tonight, Wilson will make his first 2016 start and he'll be facing the Kansas City Royals, a team that played in the last two World Series, winning it last year. In three relief appearances this year, Wilson is 0-0 with an ERA of 1.13. Over eight innings, he has allowed six hits and one...

Yovani Gallardo and Buck Showalter on Gallardo's early exit
KANSAS CITY - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said tonight's starter, Yovani Gallardo, told him his shoulder didn't feel right after he had pitched the last of the second inning.

We know now which pitchers will be starting tomorrow and Monday. As expected, right-hander Kevin Gausman will come off the disabled list and start on Monday at Tampa Bay. Right-hander Tyler Wilson will come out of the bullpen and make the start for...

After impressive series win against Toronto, it's on to K.C. for the Orioles

After impressive series win against Toronto, it's on to K.C. for the Orioles
The Orioles' lead in the American League East was down to 1 1/2 games when they lost to Toronto on Tuesday night at Camden Yards. Now it is 3 1/2 games after they posted impressive back-to-back wins over Toronto. A few clutch hits finally came and O's pitching was so impressive the last two nights, just at a time when the staff was getting some major criticism. The Orioles held Toronto to five runs the last two nights and Blue Jays batters went just 2-for-20 with runners in scoring position....

O's push across runs late to beat Toronto 3-2, take series

O's push across runs late to beat Toronto 3-2, take series
The Orioles' leading hitter in 2016 got it done again. The guy that can drive the ball far and produce over 100-mph exit velocities put them ahead with a bloop. Manny Machado's flare to short right field went for a double and scored Joey Rickard to break a tie in the bottom of the eighth. The Orioles went on to a 3-2 win over Toronto. Until Machado's hit, the O's were 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. They won on a night they stranded 13 runners on base. The Orioles improved to...

A look at the O's minor league affiliates so far
The Orioles' four full-season minor league affiliates are a combined 21-33 to date. Triple-A Norfolk is 4-9, Double-A Bowie 5-8, high Single-A Frederick 5-9 and Single-A Delmarva 7-7. Norfolk had scored just 31 runs in its first 11 games and then the Tides burst out in a big way during Tuesday's 20-4 win at Charlotte. The 20 runs were the most a Tides club has scored as an Orioles affiliate and were the most for the franchise since Tidewater won at Rochester 23-1 on opening day of the 1982...

For Orioles rookie outfielder Joey Rickard, the night began with him facing a knuckleball pitcher for the first time ever.

Another first for Joey Rickard as he faces R.A. Dickey tonight
For his next trick, Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard will try to hit a knuckleball off a pitcher 17 years his senior. He'll bat leadoff tonight and face 41-year-old R.A. Dickey as the Orioles play the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Rickard has played in 359 games in the minors but said this afternoon he has never faced a knuckleball.

Did Wright take a step forward last night? (Plus Schoop on the power)
The Orioles have lost four of their last five games since their 7-0 start.

Matt Wieters and Manny Machado homer, but O's drop series opener
The Orioles got a quality start for just the second time this season. But it did not lead to a win. Toronto's Marcus Stroman allowed three runs over seven innings as the Blue Jays beat the Orioles 4-3 in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards. The Orioles have lost four of the last five games after a 7-0 start to fall to 8-4. Toronto has won three in a row and is 8-7. Orioles center fielder Adam Jones left tonight's game before the top of the seventh due to a stomach virus. Jones,...

When the Orioles (8-3) open a series against the Toronto Blue Jays (7-7) tonight at Camden Yards, right-hander Mike Wright will once again be pitching on extra rest. Wright's first scheduled start was pushed back twice - once by a rainout - and he didn't make his first start until April 12 in the Orioles' seventh game of the year. Then, after Sunday's rainout at Texas and yesterday's off-day, Wright had another start pushed back. He will start on six days' rest tonight against the Blue...
