New O's reliever Chaz Roe on the time he thought his career might be over (Kline update)

New O's reliever Chaz Roe on the time he thought his career might be over (Kline update)
Somewhat lost in the shuffle - with Mike Wright making two scoreless starts, Oliver Drake pitching four scoreless innings so far and Tyler Wilson getting his first major league win - was that another pitcher came up from Triple-A Norfolk in recent days and did well in his first Orioles appearance. Right-hander Chaz Roe was called up Sunday and pitched two scoreless innings that afternoon against Miami. He retired all six batters he faced with two strikeouts. Roe was 3-1 with a 2.19 ERA in 17...

Pearce on win, Brach on 'pen, Chen on his outing after victory over Houston

Pearce on win, Brach on 'pen, Chen on his outing after victory over Houston
Steve Pearce said American League ERA leader Dallas Keuchel of the Houston Astros made a rare mistake. With a man on first base and with a 3-2 lead in the last of the seventh, his first pitch to Pearce was up in the zone and Pearce didn't miss it. He hit a two-run homer to right-center that put the Orioles ahead 4-3, and they won by that margin today over the Astros. Coming off back-to-back losses in Miami, it was big to win the series opener in come-from-behind fashion against the team with...

Steve Pearce hits go-ahead homer in seventh as O's beat Houston

Steve Pearce hits go-ahead homer in seventh as O's beat Houston
The Orioles were facing the American League's ERA leader, who had given up just one homer all year over nine starts and 64 2/3 innings. But the O's hit two homers today to beat Dallas Keuchel and the Astros 4-3 this afternoon in front of 28,909 at Camden Yards. Caleb Joseph's two-run homer in the last of the second off Kuechel had given the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Joseph's fourth homer came on a 1-1 pitch. With that one swing, the O's matched their run output for the last 23 innings of the...

O's game blog: O's host first-place Astros in series opener
Two years ago, the Houston Astros lost 111 games. They lost 106 in 2011 followed by 107, 111 and 92. So that team is now in first-place? Yep.

Since starting the season 3-5, Houston is 26-11. The Astros have won two in a row and nine of their last 12. They have the best road record in the majors at 14-6.

Oliver Drake on making the majors and hearing from his Navy friends

Oliver Drake on making the majors and hearing from his Navy friends
After pitching in 176 games and 564 innings since 2008 on the O's farm, right-hander Oliver Drake is enjoying his first few days on the Orioles' big league roster. Drake has been with the O's so long that he made his pro debut in Bluefield in 2008, when that club was the Orioles' Rookie-level Appalachian League affiliate. The O's have not had a team there since the 2010 season. Drake spent four years at Double-A Bowie from 2011-2014 before pitching at Triple-A this year. When he got the...

O's offense: Inconsistent, but scoring more runs than last year

O's offense: Inconsistent, but scoring more runs than last year
We all know the Orioles offense is struggling lately. The O's scored just two runs over the last 23 innings in Miami and have scored two runs or less in seven of their last 13 games. The Orioles are just 1-15 when they fail to score at least four runs. They have scored 10 runs total in their last seven losses. That is not nearly good enough and must improve. But while the Orioles are scoring just 3.3 runs per game in May, the same players for the most part scored a major league-best 5.6 per...

Missed scoring chances hurt O's in 5-2 loss at Miami as Marlins take series

Missed scoring chances hurt O's in 5-2 loss at Miami as Marlins take series
It was another frustrating day for the Orioles. They fell behind early, scored just two runs and lost a series to a team that had a seven-game losing streak when they got to town. After being shut out over 13 innings last night, they didn't score today until the sixth inning in a 5-2 loss to Miami. The Orioles fall to 19-22 on the year and to 7-20 all-time against the Marlins, including a 2-13 mark in Miami. Right-hander Tom Koehler retired the first 13 Orioles he faced today. To that point,...

Miami is 17-27 and ended an eight-game losing streak Saturday night. It was just the second win in the last 13 games for the Marlins. The Orioles were shut out for the...

Tough loss: Prado's single gives Miami a 1-0 win in 13 innings
After two rookies combined for 10 scoreless innings, another pitcher was ejected and both teams had runners thrown out at the plate, the Marlins finally won the game in the bottom of the 13th. With the bases loaded and two outs after the O's intentionally walked Giancarlo Stanton with runners on first and third, Martin Prado singled to right-center off T.J. McFarland and Miami beat the Orioles 1-0. The O's missed a chance to get to .500 and fell to 19-21, while Miami ended an eight-game...

O's game blog: Wright makes second big league start, Paredes takes lead in batting race
The last time the Orioles were at the .500 mark was May 5, when they were 12-12. They can get to 20-20 if they win tonight at Miami in the second game of a three-game series. The Orioles are 4-1 in their last five games and now are 8-12 on the road and 5-9 in series-opening games after Friday's 8-5 win over the Marlins. Miami is 16-27 and has lost eight in a row and 11 of its past 12 games. Since the Orioles scored just five runs in a three-game series last weekend against the Angels, they...

Mike Wright on his velocity, his time on the farm and more
He struck out Mike Trout for his first big league strikeout. He pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings on just 90 pitches. He was throwing in the high 90s at times both early and late in his outing. Mike Wright's major league debut last Sunday at home in a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels was sensational. Tonight, he makes his second big league start when he takes the mound in Miami against the Marlins. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Wright became the first pitcher in Orioles franchise history...

O's rally to beat Miami and post first Friday win of the 2015 season
The Orioles won on a Friday night in Miami. What were the odds of that? Beginning the night 0-6 this year on Fridays and 1-11 all-time in Miami, the Orioles rallied from an early three-run hole to win tonight 8-5 over the Marlins to open a weekend series. In improving to 19-20, the Orioles are now one game away from getting back to .500 for the first time since they were 12-12 on May 5. The O's have won four of their last five games. Last weekend, the Orioles scored five runs total in three...

O's game blog: Jimenez on the mound in Miami series opener
The Orioles have not fared well this year in series-opening games. They play another one tonight in Miami. The O's are 4-9 in the first game of their 13 series in 2015. They did go 2-1 in series openers on their just completed 5-4 homestand. But in road series openers this year the Orioles are just 1-5. The Orioles are 7-12 overall on the road.

Minor league notes on Kline, Snyder, Marin, Murphy and more

Minor league notes on Kline, Snyder, Marin, Murphy and more
Double-A Bowie right-handed pitcher Branden Kline is having an MRI today in Baltimore. He left his start Wednesday in the second inning with right elbow discomfort and felt some tenderness in his flexor mass area. Kline, the Orioles' second-round pick in the 2012 draft out of the University of Virginia, went 1 2/3 innings in that start, allowing one hit and no runs. He had thrown 20 pitches when he exited the game. He is 3-3 with an ERA of 3.66 in eight starts for the Baysox. The 23-year-old...

The O's bullpen carried a heavy load, plus other notes and minor league results

The O's bullpen carried a heavy load, plus other notes and minor league results
They may not have known it heading into yesterday's game, but the Orioles bullpen would be quite busy in Thursday's 5-4 win over Seattle. After a rain delay of two hours and five minutes, starter Chris Tillman did not return after pitching the first three innings. So, the O's bullpen had to cover six innings, and six different pitchers were used to get the 18 outs. Tommy Hunter pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the eighth to keep the game tied 4-4. When J.J. Hardy drove in the...

Clubhouse comments after the Orioles beat Seattle

Clubhouse comments after the Orioles beat Seattle
After a long day and a blown lead, getting the win was rather important for the Orioles. J.J. Hardy, batting just .190 at gametime, singled in the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning as the Orioles beat Seattle 5-4 after an early 4-0 lead turned into a 4-4 tie. "We needed that," Hardy said. "To get the series win, that was a big game for us, we felt it. It was a long game, had to mentally stay focused. Kept reminded myself to stay focused." His hit scored Chris Davis, who slid in ahead of...

O's lose lead but not game as Hardy's tiebreaking single provides 5-4 win
For the Orioles, a long afternoon of baseball and rain ended with a win. The Orioles took a 4-0 lead early on before a rain delay of two hours and five minutes after the top of the third. They lost the lead and were tied 4-4 after the delay, but J.J. Hardy's RBI single in the eighth broke the tie and lifted the O's to a 5-4 win over the Mariners at chilly Camden Yards. After Seattle had tied the game in the seventh, Chris Davis led off the eighth with an infield single off Danny Farquhar and...

O's game blog: Nelson Cruz on Jimmy Paredes and more on today's game
Because of the rain, today's game will start a few minutes late as the Orioles have announced a start time of 12:45 p.m. for the series finale. The Mariners' Nelson Cruz was a teammate of Jimmy Paredes last year with the Orioles and saw him do pretty well. This year he is seeing more of the same, maybe even better. Cruz and Paredes are from the Dominican Republic and they trained together this winter in a group that also included the Mariners' Robinson Cano. Cruz has been a bit of a mentor...
