Mychal Givens on his slider (O's lose 6-1)
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles took a 1-0 lead into the last of the fourth inning today at Kauffman Stadium. If they win, they'll take the series and improve to 12-5. Manny Machado, the league's leading hitter at .397, walked with one out in the first against Yordano Ventura. He reached second on Adam Jones' infield single and scored on Mark Trumbo's two-out single to left. Trumbo began today second to Machado in the AL in batting average at .381. That was his team-leading 16th RBI and all have...

Last night, the Orioles recorded a season-high 14 hits, Mark Trumbo drove in four runs and their bullpen put up four scoreless innings in an 8-3 win. On the mound this afternoon,...

Another look back at Saturday's impressive road win

Another look back at Saturday's impressive road win
KANSAS CITY - The Kansas City Royals don't lose very often in their ballpark, but the Orioles pinned an 8-3 loss on them in front of a sellout crowd at Kauffman Stadium last night. Kansas City is now 7-3 at home this year and lost for just the third time in their last 17 home games, counting the 2015 postseason. Adam Jones has played 1,254 games in the majors, but had never walked three times in one game until Saturday night. The Orioles continue to use that "pass the baton" mentality that...

Wrapping up the Orioles' 8-3 win over Kansas City

Wrapping up the Orioles' 8-3 win over Kansas City
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles beat Kansas City 8-3 tonight and it was a nice response to last night's loss. There were plenty of reasons for the win, including starting pitcher Tyler Wilson's outing, an offense that produced big again and another lockdown game by a bullpen that got big outs. The Orioles improved to 4-4 on the road and 11-5 overall (.688), the best record in the American League, leaping over the 11-6 Royals. Let's start with the starter. Wilson, who not thrown more than 44...

Kim gets first career RBI (Orioles win 8-3)
KANSAS CITY - The Orioles scored first tonight and their rally included the first major league RBI for Hyun Soo Kim. Starting for the first time since April 13, Kim hit a soft single into center off Royals starter Kris Medlen. It gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Chris Davis led off the frame with a homer to left estimated to have gone 402 feet. That was No. 6 for Davis and came off a first-pitch fastball at 91 mph. After Davis' homer, the O's rallied with two outs and none on. J.J. Hardy walked...

KANSAS CITY - It has been a while, but some roster and rotation shuffling is about to begin for the Orioles.

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.

KANSAS CITY - Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman has made three injury rehab starts, one each with Single-A Frederick, Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk.

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...

For Orioles rookie outfielder Joey Rickard, the night began with him facing a knuckleball pitcher for the first time ever. It ended with him on second base, where he had a good view of the first walk-off win via a passed ball in Orioles history. "It was exciting," Rickard said of the Orioles' 4-3 win over Toronto in 10 innings. "We put ourselves in a good spot. These guys behind me, my job is to get them to the dish in that situation and tonight it paid off. Two teams out there with pretty...
