David Hess takes the mound in must-win game for Bowie (Baysox lead 4-1)
BOWIE, Md. - As the Double-A Bowie Baysox face a must-win situation tonight against the Reading Fightin Phils, they turn to a 22-year-old right-hander that had an ERA of 5.83 at Single-A Frederick in June. After last night's loss, Bowie trails Reading 2-1 in the best-of-five Eastern League Championship Series. The Baysox need to win tonight and tomorrow to claim their first league championship. Before you think tonight's starter could be overmatched against a prospect-laden Reading team, keep...

A look at Trey Mancini winning Eastern League batting title (plus O's notes)

A look at Trey Mancini winning Eastern League batting title (plus O's notes)
When the Double-A Eastern League regular season ended, it appeared that Altoona's Adam Frazier, who hit .324, would win the league's batting title. Bowie's Trey Mancini hit .359, but he did not have enough plate appearances to qualify for league leaders, which is 2.7 plate appearances per league games scheduled. But through Rule 9.22(a), formerly Rule 10.22(a), Mancini won the batting title. The rule states in part that: * Any player with fewer than the required number of plate appearances...

Bowie Baysox two wins from Eastern League championship (Reading leads 9-1)
BOWIE, Md. - So far, the Eastern League Championship Series has mirrored the EL semifinal series for the Double-A Bowie Baysox. And the Baysox would be fine if that trend continued. In their series with Altoona, Bowie lost the opener 8-7 before running off three straight wins to advance. In the ELCS with Reading, Bowie lost the opener on Tuesday night 3-1 and then bounced back with a blowout 10-3 win last night at Reading.

It's too soon to pass any judgment on Mike Wright

It's too soon to pass any judgment on Mike Wright
There is a saying in baseball that goes like this: You are never as good as you look when you are winning or as bad as you look when you are losing. Maybe that applies right now to Orioles right-hander Mike Wright. He burst on the scene in May with back-to-back scoreless starting outings, but now he looks very, very hittable. It was clear that Wright took his latest loss hard last night. In the clubhouse postgame Wright said: "I felt good all my starts. That is what is really tough. I feel...

Mike Wright talks about his outing against Boston

Mike Wright talks about his outing against Boston
To say the least, Orioles right-hander Mike Wright was pretty upset about his poor start. He feels good out there physically but is just not getting the results right now. Tonight, he gave up six hits and six runs in three-plus innings as the Orioles lost 10-1 to Boston. Dustin Pedroia hit two homers tonight, the first off Wright plating two runs in the third. It was a pitch that was nowhere near its intended target. "The home run I gave up to Pedroia was a belt-high slider. I could have hit...

Dustin Pedroia homers twice as Boston avoids sweep, beats Orioles

Dustin Pedroia homers twice as Boston avoids sweep, beats Orioles
For the Orioles, this game did not start well when Boston took a 1-0 lead in the second. And then it got worse. Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run homer in the third and added a three-run homer in the fourth as the Red Sox crushed the Orioles 10-1 to avoid the three-game sweep. Orioles starter Mike Wright struggled again and gave up six hits and six runs in three innings plus two batters. He allowed two homers to fall to 2-5 with an ERA of 6.33. In three starts since he returned to the active roster...

O's game blog: Christian Walker on rejoining the O's and a look at tonight's game
The 2014 Orioles minor league Player of the Year is back with the team. First baseman Christian Walker was called up from Triple-A Norfolk after the end of the Tides' season Monday.

Jason Garcia on recent success and his future with the O's (plus other notes)
Right-hander Jason Garcia has just about made it through his Rule 5 season. Barring a trade, he and the Orioles know that he will be in the organization next year. There will no Rule 5 restrictions on Garcia next season and he could be optioned to the minors then. "I really like it here," Garcia said. "It's a great organization with a great coaching staff. Even down in the minor leagues, we've got a lot of good players and a lot of good coaches. I'm looking forward to the next couple of...

Chris Davis on game-winning hit, plus Steve Pearce and Ubaldo Jimenez quotes
The Orioles came up with their ninth walk-off win of the year and fourth against an American League East opponent. Chris Davis' single in the 13th provided the 6-5 win for his third walk-off hit. It ended a four-hour, 20-minute game. Davis' winning hit followed a leadoff walk to Gerardo Parra and a single by Manny Machado. Parra got a great read on Machado's hit to center to make third base and set the stage for Davis. "I was just looking for a pitch out over the plate to get through the...

Walk-off win: Chris Davis' single in the 13th provides victory over Boston
Finally, they won it. Chris Davis' RBI single in the last of the 13th gave the Orioles a 6-5 walk-off win over Boston. It was their ninth walk-off win of the 2015 season as Davis drove in his 107th run. Gerardo Parra led off the 13th and drew a five-pitch walk from Jonathan Aro, the eighth Boston pitcher. Manny Machado followed with a single to center, which put runners at the corners with no outs. At that point, Robbie Ross Jr. replaced Aro. Davis lined a 2-1 pitch to right to end the...

Mike Yastrzemski on 2015 season and Bowie's pursuit of Eastern League championship
When the Double-A Bowie Baysox play at Reading tonight in Game 1 of the Eastern League Championship Series, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski will look for a repeat of the playoff series with Altoona. It was one that was quite good for him and his team. The grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemki, the younger Yaz went 7-for-14 with two doubles, a triple, two homers and five RBIs as Bowie beat Altoona three wins to one. It was the first ever playoff series victory for the Baysox. For Yastrzemski,...

Kevin Gausman on his start tonight, plus other clubhouse quotes
Kevin Gausman has pitched well several times this year without a lot of run support. He was in a similar spot tonight, but this time he navigated his way through six innings and actually got a win. Gausman gave up just two hits and got his first victory since Aug. 1 as the Orioles beat Boston 2-0. Gausman has recorded a win in just two of his 14 starts. "Hey, I'm just happy that we won," he said. "I could care less about my statistics as long as we are winning. That is what it is all about...

Kevin Gausman gets the win, Adam Jones drives in two as O's top Boston
In a matchup of former top Orioles pitching prospects tonight, Kevin Gausman was just a little better than Eduardo Rodriguez. The Orioles used two RBIs by Adam Jones to beat Rodriguez and Boston 2-0 at Camden Yards. The Orioles are 10-4 against Boston and clinched the season series for the fourth year in a row. That is the first time the Orioles have done that since 1964-67. The Orioles improved to 70-73 with their fifth win in six games. They are 3-1 on this homestand and 41-28 at home for the...

When the Orioles host Boston tonight in the opener of a three-game series, the pitching matchup features two pitchers that are former top prospects for the Orioles. Kevin Gausman (2-6, 4.43 ERA) faces Boston left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (9-5, 4.05 ERA). Rodriguez was traded when the O's added reliever Andrew Miller in July 2014. For two years, these two were ranked among the top five O's prospects by Baseball America. At the end of the 2012 season, Gausman was the O's No. 2 prospect and...
