Orioles held to one run for second straight night in loss to Angels

Orioles held to one run for second straight night in loss to Angels
The Orioles came into this game with a record of 5-8 in May and were scoring just 3.1 runs per game this month. They couldn't even hit that total tonight. Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker, whose ERA was 6.61 at gametime, shut down the Orioles and Mike Trout homered as Los Angeles beat the O's 6-1 at Camden Yards. In falling to 15-19, the Orioles are four games under the .500 mark for the first time this season. They have lost the first two games of this series, scoring two runs on eight...

Adam Jones on O's 15-18 start: "It is about personal accountability"

Adam Jones on O's 15-18 start: "It is about personal accountability"
At 15-18, the Orioles are now three games under the .500 mark for the fifth time this year. They have never fallen four games under .500 and need a win tonight to avoid that. That is quite a change for a team that is coming off a 96-win season. The Orioles had four more wins at this point last year and, at 19-14, were in first place. They begin play tonight tied for last in the American League East and four games out. O's outfielder and team leader Adam Jones this afternoon assessed the team...

Bowie right-hander Bobby Bundy will have knee surgery, miss rest of season
Bowie right-hander Bobby Bundy, Dylan Bundy's older brother, is going to have right knee surgery on Monday and will miss the rest of the 2015 season. Bobby Bundy was pitching in a game May 5 against Akron when he fielded a ball to the third base side of the mound and felt something in the knee. He had ACL surgery on that same knee in high school.This is tough news for Bundy, who overcame three procedures to return to pitch this year for the Baysox and he was 1-0 with a 4.20 ERA in eight games....

Chen was good again, but the offense has headed south (plus minor league notes)

Chen was good again, but the offense has headed south (plus minor league notes)
So what has happened to the Orioles offense? After their 3-1 loss Friday night to the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles have scored three runs or less in seven of their last 13 games, going 5-8. On May 1, the Orioles began a home series on the road against Tampa Bay. At that point they led the major leagues, averaging 5.6 runs per game. They had scored six runs or more in 10 of their first 20 games. That has happened just twice in the last 13 games. O's offense this season: April: .286 average,...

Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles' 3-1 loss to the Angels

Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles' 3-1 loss to the Angels
The Orioles saw their starter give up just five hits and two runs in seven innings tonight. But it didn't lead to a win. Jered Weaver allowed just three hits and one run over 7 1/3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Orioles 3-1 at Camden Yards, dropping the O's record to 15-18. "He's the same guy he's been for a number of years," Chris Davis said. "He moves the ball around and throws a lot of strikes. Tough guy to face, man. "He's a guy that if you go up there and try to get...

Pujols homers and Weaver holds O's to three hits as Angels take series opener
Heading into his start last Friday night, Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jered Weaver had an ERA of 6.29 through his first six starts of this year. But whatever he found in his most recent start, a six-hit shutout of Houston, carried into tonight as Weaver pitched the Angels to a 3-1 win over the Orioles in front of 35,470 in the series opener at Camden Yards. Weaver went 7 1/3 innings, allowing just three hits and one run with one walk and three strikeouts to improve to 2-4 and lowering his...

The Orioles host the Los Angeles Angels tonight to start a three-game weekend series.

Darren O'Day on the bullpen improvement and more

Darren O'Day on the bullpen improvement and more
The Orioles' bullpen has gotten on a bit of roll and is putting up numbers that fans have come to expect from the pitchers after a slow start. Since April 29, the bullpen ranks second in the majors (behind Detroit) with a 1.41 ERA and ranks first in opponent batting average at .161. Right-hander Darren O'Day got the save Wednesday, getting the last four outs. He has not allowed an earned run over his last 11 appearances and 10 innings and has an 0.69 ERA for the year.

Talking strikeouts with Chris Davis

Talking strikeouts with Chris Davis
Chris Davis led the American League in strikeout rate in 2014, and he leads the league again in 2015, with the whiffs coming even more frequently. But along with his 50 strikeouts, he is batting .246 with eight homers and 21 RBIs. He is slugging .509 with an .821 OPS. Through Wednesday's games, he was tied for sixth in the league in homers and tied for 12th in RBIs. I asked Orioles manager Buck Showalter if the strikeouts were more acceptable because they are coming with a decent level of...

Slump breaker: Alejandro De Aza has two hits in O's win over Toronto, plus other notes

Slump breaker: Alejandro De Aza has two hits in O's win over Toronto, plus other notes
After batting .293 in 20 games for the Orioles last season after they acquired him Aug. 30, outfielder Alejandro De Aza got off to a fast start this year. He hit safely in his first six games of the season, batting .333. But his bat soon trailed off and he came into last night's game batting just .211 for the year, and just .122 (5-for-41) over his last 12 games. But De Aza's bat finally got going a bit in last night's 6-1 win over Toronto. He went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI...

Ugly loss leads to more questions about defense for the Orioles

Ugly loss leads to more questions about defense for the Orioles
Tuesday night was an ugly loss for the Orioles as they lost a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning and saw a 2-2 tie turn into a 10-2 loss last night against Toronto. It got quite ugly in the seventh and eighth innings as the Orioles made three errors and had a passed ball that scored a run. They gave up two-run homers each inning. It was ugly, disheartening, depressing and a lot of other negative words you could probably think of. It only counted as one loss but felt like more than that. Whatever...

In the quiet of the Orioles clubhouse, Manny Machado talked about the latest loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Tonight's 10-2 defeat was marked by three errors, a passed ball and four unearned runs. "That wasn't us. That wasn't us," Machado said. "Then it kept rolling. That was an inning where we lost the game. We collapsed and they took advantage of it. We have to keep our head up high and come out tomorrow. "They are swinging the bat well and we are not. They are hitting in key...

Ugly loss: Down 2-0 early, Toronto scores eight late runs to beat the Orioles
It started well for the Orioles. They had a 2-0 lead and Chris Tillman needed just 29 pitches over the first three innings. But that feel-good vibe didn't last and it did a 180. Toronto scored four runs in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and added four more in the eighth amid more Orioles errors and mistakes. In the end, Toronto had an easy 10-2 win to improve to 17-17. In losing for the sixth time in eight games, the Orioles fell to 14-17 for the season and to 2-6 against the Blue Jays....
