Wieters and Britton on O's additions, Givens on rejoining the team
In the Orioles clubhouse, the players are coming to terms with today's moves and the new look of their roster, with outfielder Gerardo Parra and pitchers Mychal Givens and Mike Wright added. Bud Norris was designated for assignment and Tommy Hunter was traded to the Cubs for outfielder Junior Lake, who will head to Triple-A Norfolk. Parra is not in the starting lineup but is expected by game time, and another roster deletion will have to occur. Catcher Matt Wieters talked about the additon of...

A look at Zach Davies and a take on Gerardo Parra (Davies quote)

A look at Zach Davies and a take on Gerardo Parra (Davies quote)
You have to give up something of quality to get something of quality, and the Orioles (pending the review of medical records) have agreed to part with right-handed pitcher Zach Davies, a young man they drafted out of an Arizona high school in the 26th round of the 2011 draft. In the deal, the Orioles are getting 28-year-old outfielder Gerardo Parra from the Milwaukee Brewers. Davies was drafted by the Orioles before the new rules that cover the draft were put in place and players would fall...

A look at the human side to trade deadline reports and speculation
In this Twitter and social media age, where we are bombarded with instant news and information, this week must be a challenging one for some major league players. They are the subject of trade rumors and are asked constant questions about the trade deadline. While no players are asking anyone to feel sorry for them - ye,s they make a good living - there is also a human element here. No matter the salary, there are players in those jerseys. They have some of the same feelings, emotions and...

Miguel Gonzalez and Jonathan Schoop comment after O's loss to Detroit

Miguel Gonzalez and Jonathan Schoop comment after O's loss to Detroit
Twice in the series with Atlanta the Orioles scored just two runs and won. Tonight they scored eight and they lost. Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez put his team in a hole tonight, allowing 10 hits and five runs over 3 1/3 innings as Detroit held off an O's rally for the 9-8 win. The first time through the order tonight, Detroit went 7-for-9 at bat and the Tigers went 10-for-17 against Gonzalez on the night. "They definitely came out and swung the bats pretty good," Gonzalez said. "They were...

O's rally from seven runs down comes up short as Tigers take series opener

O's rally from seven runs down comes up short as Tigers take series opener
After allowing just seven runs during a five-game win streak, tonight the Orioles trailed by seven in the fourth inning. That was too big of a hole to completely climb out of tonight. They almost did though. The Orioles rallied before losing 9-8 to the Detroit Tigers in front of 30,136 at Camden Yards. Coming into tonight, O's starters had gone 4-0 with a 1.25 ERA and five quality start the last six games. But Miguel Gonzalez just did not have it tonight. He allowed seven hits to the first...

O's game blog: Orioles look to extend win streak as Tigers come to town
Beginning play tonight one game out in the American League wild card race and six games behind the AL East leading Yankees, the Orioles host the Tigers at Camden Yards. It is the start of a four-game series. The Orioles won two of three in Detroit to start the second half. The Tigers won the season series 5-1 last year and then got swept by the Orioles in the American League Division Series. The Orioles can tie their season-high win streak which is six, should they win tonight. The Birds won...

Chris Parmelee on his struggles on offense: "I know I can hit up here"

Chris Parmelee on his struggles on offense: "I know I can hit up here"
He got off to an incredible start as an Oriole. Chris Parmelee went 5-for-9 with three homers in his first two games on June 16 and 17. What has followed has been plenty of struggles on offense. He is batting .215 in 31 games. He is just 2-for-20 over his last seven games. "Honestly, I feel pretty good at the plate," Parmelee said this afternoon. "Obviously the results are not what I've wanted. It's a grind. I know I can hit up here. I know that for a fact. I just have to get my work in...

At this point, Orioles fans may have both reasons for hope and to doubt
As the trade deadline approaches on Friday afternoon, the Orioles are on their second-longest win streak of the season. They've won five in a row after last night's victory over the Atlanta Braves. The Orioles swept that series. Right now, the team may sending its own fans some mixed messages. There appear to be both reasons for hope and reasons to doubt this team. Reasons for hope: The Orioles' starting pitchers, led by Chris Tillman, may be poised for a strong second half. During the win...

Chris Tillman talks about his excellent outing against Atlanta
Chris Tillman was one out from a complete-game shutout, but when manager Buck Showalter called for Zach Britton to get the last out tonight, Tillman left the mound to a standing ovation. "It's awesome," he said. "Our fans have always done that for us. They're consistently good. Any player would appreciate that." The fans appreciated what Tillman did tonight, pitching 8 2/3 scoreless innings on four hits as the Orioles beat Atlanta 2-0. Tillman, who needed just 95 pitches tonight, improved...

Chris Tillman pitches 8 2/3 scoreless innings as O's blank Atlanta

Chris Tillman pitches 8 2/3 scoreless innings as O's blank Atlanta
Does each Chris Tillman outing get better than the previous one? Hard to do, as well as he's been pitching, but tonight he pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings as the Orioles blanked Atlanta 2-0 at Camden Yards. Seeking a complete-game shutout, Tillman allowed a two-out double in the ninth to Cameron Maybin and Buck Showalter called for Zach Britton from the bullpen. Britton got Freddie Freeman to ground out to end it and record his 26th save. With the win, the Orioles sweep the three-game series,...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman set to pitch as O's look for sweep over Atlanta
The start of tonight's Orioles-Atlanta game is being delayed by rain, and should start at 7:35 p.m. Yet but the skies around Camden Yards are brighter than they were about an hour ago. So stay tuned. A win tonight over Atlanta would provide the Orioles with a three-game sweep of the Braves and also give them their second-longest winning streak of the 2015 season. The O's have won four in a row heading into this series finale. Their longest win streak was six straight from June 7-13. They also...

Should O's attention turn more toward the wild card race?

Should O's attention turn more toward the wild card race?
With the Minnesota Twins' loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon, the Orioles could move within a game of the second American League wild card spot if they win tonight against Atlanta. Should their focus turn more in that direction now rather than focusing on chasing the Yankees, who lead the AL East by seven games? "I think our focus needs to be on just winning as many games as we can," shortstop J.J. Hardy said in response to that question this afternoon. "Not worrying about where...

Has a four-game win streak changed the Orioles' trade deadline outlook?

Has a four-game win streak changed the Orioles' trade deadline outlook?
Are the Orioles sellers or buyers? Are they contenders or not? Is a four-game winning streak the start of something big or just fool's gold? A lot of questions and I guess the answers depend on which person is giving the opinion. After his two-homer game last night, Chris Davis said the Orioles players can't let trade deadline rumors distract them from the task at hand. "My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Orioles. We like the guys we have in here, but we have our work cut...

After he hit two homers and drove in five as the Orioles beat Atlanta 7-3, Chris Davis said he sees his team as a contender and wants to see this group stay together past Friday's deadline. "We've felt that way all year," Davis said. "There have been times we've played really well and times we've struggled. But there is a sense of urgency...

Chris Davis homers twice, records five RBIs as Orioles top Atlanta
Chris Davis did the heavy lifting early on. Later, his teammates joined in. After a slow start, Ubaldo Jimenez did his part as well. Davis homered in the first and second innings tonight and had five RBIs by the second inning as the Orioles beat Atlanta 7-3 at Camden Yards. The Orioles have their third four-game winning streak of 2015 as they improve to 29-18 at home and 50-49 overall. During the win streak, O's pitchers have allowed just seven runs.

O's game blog: Orioles look for a fourth straight win tonight against Atlanta
The Orioles are looking to extend their winning streak to four games tonight when they host the Atlanta Braves. The Orioles' 2-1 win in 11 innings last night improved their record to 49-49. The O's three-game win streak followed a four-game losing streak and a stretch where they lost 15 of 20 games. The Orioles have just two win streaks this year of four or more games. They won six in a row June 7-13 and four straight June 25-28. Matt Wieters' walk-off home run in the 11th inning gave the...

Catcher Caleb Joseph on the plan to get Ubaldo Jimenez back on track tonight
During the last four games, Orioles starting pitchers have allowed just four runs over 27 2/3 innings for an ERA of 1.30. Tonight, they try to get Ubaldo Jimenez (7-6, 3.81 ERA) back into the act. After ending the first half with an ERA of 0.45 his last three starts, Jimenez has started the second half by going 0-2 with an ERA of 18.00.

Some notes and quotes after the Orioles' fourth walk-off win of the year

Some notes and quotes after the Orioles' fourth walk-off win of the year
The Orioles scored just two runs and Zach Britton allowed a home run. That doesn't seem like it would end in a win, but it did for the Orioles last night. As they somehow try to find consistent offense and wins, they found at least a win last night. In a small victory, they at least gained ground on Minnesota, which was idle. The Orioles are now three games behind the Twins for the second wild card and they are seven games behind the Yankees in the American League East. Kevin Gausman gave the...

Matt Wieters and Kevin Gausman on the win, Nick Markakis on his ovation
When Orioles catcher Matt Wieters singled in the seventh inning tonight, he snapped an 0-for-14 stretch. Two innings later, he singled again. Two innings later, he ended the game. Wieters hit his fourth career walk-off homer as the Orioles beat Atlanta 2-1 in 11 innings. His last walk-off homer was May 1, 2014 in Game 2 of a doubleheader with Pittsburgh. "It's a great feeling," Wieters said. "To put a good swing on the ball at a time that you need it. You'll never get tired of hitting...
