Happy homecoming: O's hit three homers to back Ubaldo Jimenez and beat Toronto

Happy homecoming: O's hit three homers to back Ubaldo Jimenez and beat Toronto
In their first home game with fans in attendance since April 26, the Orioles gave a Camden Yards crowd of 20,468 something to cheer about tonight. After losing five of the last six games on a road trip, they had a happy homecoming in a 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays to start a three-game series and nine-game homestand. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched well again against Toronto. Over seven innings, he allowed six hits and two runs with two walks and a season-high nine strikeouts. He improves to 3-2...

O's game blog: Orioles begin nine-game homestand against Toronto tonight

O's game blog: Orioles begin nine-game homestand against Toronto tonight
The Orioles have allowed 10 or more runs in three games this year and each time it happened against Toronto. As the clubs begin a three-game series and the Orioles open a nine-game homestand at Camden Yards tonight, the O's will look to start pitching better against the Blue Jays. The O's team ERA is 8.29 as they have lost five of six to Toronto with games allowing 10, 12 and 13 runs. The Orioles have been outscored 47-33 in the season series. The Blue Jays are batting .298 with an OPS of...

At 13-16, is this just a slow start or glimpse into troubling future for Orioles?

At 13-16, is this just a slow start or glimpse into troubling future for Orioles?
On April 24, the Orioles fell to 7-10 and were three games under .500. Then they won five of six games, were 12-11 and won that series of home games that was moved on the road to St. Petersburg. It appeared the club had handled well the disruption to its schedule which even included an impressive win over Chicago's Jeff Samardzija in the no-attendance game. But now the Orioles are back at three games under .500 at 13-16 following a 1-5 stretch against the Mets and Yankees. Right now the team...

O's hitters set club record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game with loss to Yankees

O's hitters set club record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game with loss to Yankees
Orioles hitters got dominated today by New York right-hander Michael Pineda. Meanwhile, Bud Norris was knocked out in the fourth inning. That was not a good combination for the Orioles, who lost 6-2 to the Yankees. In winning three of four in this series, New York won its first series against the Orioles since Sept. 9-12, 2013. The Orioles lost for the fifth time in six games to fall to 7-12 on the road and 13-16 for the season. Pineda struck out 16 Orioles over seven innings without a walk. He...

O's game blog: It's Norris against Pineda in Yankee Stadium series finale

O's game blog: It's Norris against Pineda in Yankee Stadium series finale
After hitting three homers and scoring six runs in a win over the Yankees on Saturday, the Orioles have a chance to even the four-game series today. But they'll have to get past right-hander Michael Pineda (4-0, 2.97 ERA). Pineda has pitched to an ERA of 1.27 over his last three starts for New York and leads the American League with a strikeout-to-walks ratio of 12.67, with just three walks to 38 strikeouts over 39 1/3 innings. In his last start in a win over Toronto on Tuesday, Pineda pitched...

Some notes after a much-needed win

Some notes after a much-needed win
It all looks so much better when the Orioles combine a solid pitching performance with a few home runs. Saturday's win was much needed and today the Orioles look to salvage a four-game split in this series. A win today would give the Orioles a 4-3 record on the road against Tampa Bay and the Yankees mixed in with an 0-2 record against the Mets. Wei-Yin Chen began yesterday with the lowest ERA (2.83) among qualifying major league starting pitchers that were winless this season. He finally got...

O's turn to longball to back Chen and beat Yankees 6-2

O's turn to longball to back Chen and beat Yankees 6-2
In need of a victory to end a four-game losing streak, the Orioles turned to a familiar formula today: Get solid starting pitching and hit a few homers. Wei-Yin Chen went seven innings and the Orioles backed him with a three-homer game as they beat New York 6-2 at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles had scored just 10 runs during the losing streak but they broke out today in improving to 13-15 for the season and handing New York just its sixth loss in the last 22 games. Jimmy Paredes got the offense...

O's game blog: Orioles look to snap losing streak this afternoon at Yankee Stadium

O's game blog: Orioles look to snap losing streak this afternoon at Yankee Stadium
While the New York Yankees are surging and have opened a three-game lead atop the American League East, the Orioles need a win today to avoid their second five-game losing streak of the 2015 season. In 2014, the Orioles never lost more than four in a row. Today, the 2015 Orioles try to avoid another five-game losing streak just 28 games into the season. New York has posted 4-3 and 5-4 wins the past two nights over the Orioles. One more win the next two days would give them a series victory over...

A look at Chris Davis' season, both the strikeouts and the run production

A look at Chris Davis' season, both the strikeouts and the run production
Chris Davis has been striking out a lot. Anyone notice that? Does it come up much? Davis has become the whipping boy for some of you and the guy to blame whenever the Orioles do not score many runs. The more he strikes out, the more venom and snark come with the comments. Some just want him gone and are ready to drive him to the airport. To that last group and those that focus only on the strikeouts, I say this: Production-wise, Davis is having his second-best season as an Oriole so far and...

One run short again: O's fall at Yankee Stadium as losing streak reaches four

One run short again: O's fall at Yankee Stadium as losing streak reaches four
For the Orioles, it was another frustrating night in New York and another one-run loss. Their rally from five runs down came up short as the Yankees beat the Orioles 5-4 in front of 38,731 to take the first two games of a four-game series. The O's losing streak has reached four in a row and they have been outscored 17-10 during the streak. The Orioles lost by one run for the third time in the last four games. They fall to 12-15 for the season, matching a season low by falling three games under...

O's game blog: The Orioles have scored six runs during a three-game losing streak
The Orioles head into tonight's game at Yankee Stadium at 12-14 and trying to break a three-game losing streak. They have fallen four-and-a-half games behind first-place New York in the American League East. They have been three games under .500 just once before in the 2015 season at 7-10. During the three straight losses, the Orioles have scored just six runs, going 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position. Since they scored 18 runs on Sunday April 26 against Boston, and eight in their next...

Vent fest: Three-game losing streak doesn't sit well with some fans

Vent fest: Three-game losing streak doesn't sit well with some fans
A three-game losing streak against two different New York teams. The O's have scored six runs total in those games. Another mental mistake when Jimmy Paredes was picked off first base. Just when it looked like the Orioles' season was trending up, they took another downturn. Reading some comments here and on Twitter, the fans generally didn't deal well with a one-run loss to the Yankees. The Orioles had a five-game losing streak earlier and have dropped three in a row now. Tonight provides...

Frustrating loss: O's one run short at Yankee Stadium as losing streak reaches three

Frustrating loss: O's one run short at Yankee Stadium as losing streak reaches three
The Orioles switched ballparks but suffered yet another frustrating loss in New York tonight. Alex Rodriguez hit career homer No. 661 to move to fourth on the all-time list, and Chris Tillman gave up four runs and 10 hits as the Yankees beat the Orioles 4-3 at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles fell to two games under .500 for the season at 12-14. They are now 6-10 on the road, 2-2 against the Yankees, 3-5 in one-run games and 2-8 in series-opening games. This back-and-forth game saw the O's lead 1-0...

O's game blog: Orioles look to get the bats going in series opener in the Bronx
After going 13-6 against the New York Yankess last year - and winning the season series for the first time since 1997 - the Orioles took two of three when the teams met for the first time this year. The Orioles are 6-0-1 in their last seven series against New York since losing three of four Sept. 9-12, 2013. Adam Jones is 5-for-11 with two homers and four RBIs against the Yankees in 2015. Delmon Young is 4-for-6 with an RBI, while Caleb Joseph went 7-for-11 with a triple and two RBIs in that...

The O's offense hits a bump in the road at Tampa and New York

The O's offense hits a bump in the road at Tampa and New York
Will the real Orioles offense stand up? Pitching staffs with Tampa Bay and the New York Mets have been tough on O's bats recently. The Orioles' torrid stretch of producing runs has reached a five-game stretch with a lack of runs. The Orioles have scored just 11 runs their last five games. Before that, they had scored 26 runs the previous two games, 42 over five games and 59 over a nine-game stretch. Heading into the weekend series last Friday against Tampa Bay, the Orioles were leading the...

J.J. Hardy after Bowie game: "My shoulder is ready"

J.J. Hardy after Bowie game: "My shoulder is ready"
BOWIE, Md. - After three games and 12 at-bats each with Double-A Bowie for J.J. Hardy and Ryan Flaherty, it appears the next stop for this duo is New York to rejoin the Orioles on Thursday at Yankee Stadium. Hardy can be activated at any time and Flaherty can be activated off the DL on Friday. Hardy has been on the DL all year with a left shoulder strain. But after tonight's game, speaking outside the Baysox clubhouse, he said he's ready to return to the Orioles. "My shoulder is ready," he...

J.J. Hardy singles in first at Double-A Bowie, Flaherty homers in the second
BOWIE, Md. - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy contines to hit the ball hard as he gets closer to a return to the team. He singled in the last of the first inning at Double-A Bowie tonight. He could possibly rejoin the Orioles as soon as tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium, and Ryan Flaherty could join him. Hardy playing short and Flaherty playing second base make up the Bowie double-play combo for a third night in a row tonight at Prince George's Stadium. Batting second for the Baysox, Flaherty flied...

O's game blog: It's Ubaldo Jimenez against Jacob deGrom at Citi Field tonight
The Orioles have a .500 record (12-12) for the eighth time already this year. But that will end at least for one day after tonight's game, the second of their brief two-game series at Citi Field against the New York Mets. Bartolo Colon gave up just one run over 7 2/3 innings last night, pitching the Mets to a 3-2 win. It was just the second loss in the last seven games for the Orioles, who fell to 2-7 in series-opening games. After getting swept by the Mets in 2010 and again in 2012, the...

With or without big league help, Bowie Baysox are playing well
Two players on major league rehab assignments will play again tonight with the Double-A Bowie Baysox. Since J.J. Hardy and Ryan Flaherty showed up, the Baysox are 2-0, but they were playing good baseball even before they arrived. With last night's win, Bowie is now 15-10 and has moved to within one game of first place in its division of the Eastern League. The Baysox have won four in a row, seven of their last eight and 11 of the past 15 games after a 4-6 start. Under manager Gary Kendall, the...
