Caleb Joseph ties a club record as the Orioles beat Toronto
Caleb Joseph homered again to tie an Orioles club record and Miguel Gonzalez pitched a solid six innings to get the win tonight as the Orioles edged Toronto 2-1 at Rogers Centre. The Orioles took two of three in the series between the two top teams in the American League East. They leave town leading Toronto by five games.

O's game blog: Orioles look for another AL East series win

O's game blog: Orioles look for another AL East series win
The Orioles have had solid success this season playing within the American League East. In fact, they have not lost an AL East road series this year and they'd like to keep that record intact tonight. The Orioles have won six and tied one road series in the division in 2014. They have lost just three AL East series overall on the year, going 8-3-2 and they have lost just one of their last 11 series, going 8-1-2. That was when they went 1-3 at home against Tampa Bay at the end of June. The...

Minor league notes on Luis Gonzalez and Jason Esposito

Minor league notes on Luis Gonzalez and Jason Esposito
Yesterday, the Orioles named minor league pitcher Luis Gonzalez the organizational Pitcher of the Month for July. That is a nice honor for a player who has barely been in the organization for a year. The 22-year-old left-hander from the Dominican Republic was originally signed by the Phillies, but they released him. On July 18, 2013 the Orioles signed him as a minor league free agent. "Our Latin American program did a really good job of finding this guy as a released player in the...

Machado talks defense and the O's ponder the next move for Jimenez

Machado talks defense and the O's ponder the next move for Jimenez
So does Manny Machado get more satisfaction from a big hit or a great defensive play? "I don't know, they are both up there," Machado said. "Big hit you help your team, big play you help your team. It's a win-win situation." Well, that's true. Defense doesn't go into a slump. Well, it almost never goes into a slump. I can remember a time earlier this year when both Machado and J.J. Hardy seemed a bit off their game with the glove, but it didn't last long. Recently we saw Machado...

Hutchison dominant in Toronto's 5-1 win over Orioles

Hutchison dominant in Toronto's 5-1 win over Orioles
He had not pitched that well recently and struggled at home this year. But right-hander Drew Hutchison has pitched well against the Orioles and he did again tonight. Hutchison pitched one-hit ball over 8 2/3 innings as Toronto beat the Orioles 5-1. He retired 22 consecutive batters before issuing a two-out walk in the ninth. Casey Janssen got the last out. Hutchison walked one and fanned eight, throwing 115 pitches. He improves to 8-9 with an ERA of 4.39. He retired the first four tonight,...

O's game blog: A look at tonight's match-up and other O's notes
Enjoying a five-game lead atop the American League East for the first time since Sept. 20, 1997, the Orioles look to go a season-high 17 games over the .500 mark tonight at Toronto. The Orioles beat the second-place Blue Jays 9-3 last night and they now have a current winning record against every AL East team. The O's are 6-5 against Toronto, 7-6 versus Boston, 6-3 against New York and 8-4 against Tampa Bay. The Orioles are 16-7 in AL East road games and have lost just one of their last 11...

The bats looked good in Toronto, so did Dylan Bundy in Frederick

The bats looked good in Toronto, so did Dylan Bundy in Frederick
That escalated quickly. I'm talking about the Orioles' offense. Now the runs are coming in bunches. They were coming in a slow trickle. Through the first 16 games out of the All-Star break, the Orioles were batting just .202 and scoring 3.3 runs per game. Going into Monday's game at Washington, they had scored 10 runs in five games. Now, they have 16 in their last two games. In the Seattle series, the Orioles scored six runs on 21 hits in three games. Over the last two nights, they scored...

Dylan Bundy talks about his outing tonight in Frederick
FREDERICK, Md. - For the second time in three outings, Dylan Bundy did not allow a run for Single-A Frederick. Bundy went 4 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in a strong outing. Frederick went on to beat Carolina 7-3 in front of 4,504 at Harry Grove Stadium. After five outings on the road for Frederick, tonight was Bundy's 2014 home debut. The 21-year-old right-hander, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery in June 2013, pitched to an ERA of...

Luis Pujols and Kennie Steenstra on Dylan Bundy (Bundy with 4 1/3 scoreless in Frederick)

Luis Pujols and Kennie Steenstra on Dylan Bundy (Bundy with 4 1/3 scoreless in Frederick)
FREDERICK, Md. - He had three very strong starts for short-season Single-A Aberdeen, but since he moved to Single-A Frederick, right-hander Dylan Bundy has not pitched as well. Tonight, the Frederick fans get their first in-person look at Bundy. He has made five starts for the Keys, all on the road, but he takes the mound here tonight against Carolina. Bundy went 0-1 with an 0.60 ERA in three Aberdeen starts. In five Frederick starts, he is 1-2 with a 5.73 ERA. Over 22 innings with the Keys,...

FREDERICK, Md. - The first-place Orioles and second-place Blue Jays begin a key three-game series tonight with the O's (63-48) leading Toronto (60-53) by four games atop the American League East. Toronto is the only AL East team that the O's do not have a winning record against, but they are .500 at 5-5, including 2-1 at Toronto. The Blue Jays have outscored the Orioles 48-38 in the season series. The Orioles have been solid in division games with a 26-18 record and a 15-7 road record in...

Coaches helping pitchers: Tillman, Norris on Wallace and Chiti

Coaches helping pitchers: Tillman, Norris on Wallace and Chiti
Late last October the Orioles made a move that would have a big impact on the 2014 season, even if maybe we didn't completely realize it at the time. They hired Dave Wallace as pitching coach. Wallace had been the minor league pitching coordinator for four seasons for the Atlanta Braves. He would bring plenty of experience to the Orioles. He had been a pitching coach for four major league teams - the Houston Astros (2007), Boston Red Sox (2003-06), New York Mets (1999-2000) and Los Angeles...

Pitchers helping pitchers: Tillman and Norris on the staff's improvement

Pitchers helping pitchers: Tillman and Norris on the staff's improvement
Going into last night's game, the Orioles were 10-6 since the All-Star break. They had achieved that record against a tough schedule, while last in the American League in batting average, and 12th in runs scored since the break. They had achieved that record mostly behind a pitching staff that ranked third in the league with an ERA of 2.78 since the All-Star Game. That strong pitching continues a pretty remarkable trend for the 2014 Orioles. They have lowered the team ERA every month of this...

The O's offense breaks out in 7-3 win over Washington
The offense came to life. Kevin Gausman battled his way through six innings. The Orioles came from behind to win. The O's scored three runs in the top of the seventh tonight and added two more in the eighth to rally for a 7-3 win over Washington with a 14-hit attack in front of 42,181 at Nats Park. The Orioles improved to a season-high 15 games over .500 at 63-48. They gained a half-game on idle Toronto and moved four games ahead of the Blue Jays heading into their key series that begins in...

The teams in the American League East have stepped up their games a bit since the All-Star break. That includes the Orioles, who just concluded a 16-game stretch against the AL West going 10-6. The Orioles led the division by four games at the break and lead Toronto by 3 1/2 games heading into tonight's makeup game at Washington.

Andrew Miller on his success since leaving the rotation (Bowie's Davies honored)

Andrew Miller on his success since leaving the rotation (Bowie's Davies honored)
New Orioles pitcher Andrew Miller has made two impressive relief appearances for his new team. He got two key outs Friday night against Seattle in his O's debut and had a real strong outing Sunday. He came on in the eighth to protect a 1-0 lead and retired the side in order on 10 pitches with two strikeouts. He had some overpowering stuff. Like two other left-handers in the Orioles bullpen in Brian Matusz and Zach Britton, Miller is a former starter. But he didn't pitch nearly as well in...

Hunter Harvey talks about his injury, remains upbeat about the future

Hunter Harvey talks about his injury, remains upbeat about the future
For Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey, it had to feel strange. He had never been injured or had any arm problems before. But as he pitched for Single-A Delmarva on July 25 in Rome, Ga., that changed. "In my last start, it didn't really hurt, it just felt tight. It actually feels really good now," Harvey said. "No issues before that, felt pretty good all year. But I felt it four or five times throughout that start." At that point, the Orioles were not going to take a chance with a...

Markakis on reaching 1,500 hits, Tillman on Markakis and the win

Markakis on reaching 1,500 hits, Tillman on Markakis and the win
Nick Markakis supplied an answer you would expect today when he was asked about reaching 1,500 career hits. He noted the achievement, but the win meant more. "It's pretty cool," Markakis said. "Lot of hard work, time and dedication and it pays off, but I don't look at things like that. The scoreboard is the main outcome. We won whether I got no hits or three hits, it's a victory." It was the first time in club history that the Orioles won a 1-0 game on a leadoff homer. It was the 28th...

Tillman deals, Markakis homers and O's top Seattle 1-0
Given just one run to work with today, Chris Tillman made it stand up, once again beating the team that drafted him in the second round in 2006. Tillman pitched seven scoreless innings as the Orioles edged Seattle 1-0 this afternoon on a Nick Markakis leadoff homer in the first inning. It is the first time in club history that the Orioles won 1-0 on a leadoff home run. In winning for the seventh time in 10 games and the 20th time in 29 games, the Orioles concluded a 4-2 homestand and...

In the series and homestand finale today at Camden Yards, the Orioles host Seattle with Chris Tillman (7-5, 3.97 ERA) facing right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma (9-5, 3.06 ERA). Tillman is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.45 in five career starts against Seattle. Four of his five starts have been quality starts. He last faced the Mariners on Aug. 2, 2013 and got the win at Camden Yards. He went 5 1/3 innings, allowing eight hits and six earned runs. Tillman has now gone six straight starts without a win,...

While the offense has struggled, the Orioles have continued to win

While the offense has struggled, the Orioles have continued to win
You have to wonder how much longer the Orioles can count on their pitching to carry them. They are not scoring many runs but have continued to win and lead the American League East by 2 1/2 games with Toronto's loss last night. In the last 20 games, 12 times the Orioles have scored three or fewer runs. They are batting just .213 in those games and scoring 3.2 runs per game. Yet they are 12-8 in that stretch due to strong pitching. Maybe that goes to show that pitching is every bit as...
