Miguel Gonzalez and Caleb Joseph comment after loss to Seattle

Miguel Gonzalez and Caleb Joseph comment after loss to Seattle
Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph said he'd like to have one pitch back tonight. It was a changeup on a 1-1 count from Miguel Gonzalez to Robinson Cano with two men on in the fifth inning. The game was tied 1-1 at the time and runners were on second and third. Cano hit his 29th career homer off O's pitching to break the game open and Seattle went on to earn a 6-3 win. "It cost us the game," Joseph said. "We had a base open there and he's a dangerous hitter. We've done the best we can to...

Robinson Cano's three-run homer leads Seattle past O's

Robinson Cano's three-run homer leads Seattle past O's
Orioles fans have seen it before - Robinson Cano with a big home run at Camden Yards. This time it was a three-run shot in the fifth inning tonight that lifted the Seattle Mariners to a 6-3 win over the Orioles. The Orioles fall to 61-48, but with Toronto's 8-2 loss to Houston, they maintain their 2 1/2 game lead on the Blue Jays atop the American League East. Seattle came up in the fifth of a 1-1 tie against Miguel Gonzalez. Austin Jackson singled with one out and went to third on Dustin...

O's game blog: Miguel Gonzalez on the mound in Game 2 against Seattle

O's game blog: Miguel Gonzalez on the mound in Game 2 against Seattle
The Orioles have won four of their last five and six of eight games. They are 24-12 in their last 36 games. They are 10-3 in their last 13 home games. They'd like all that winning to continue tonight at home against Seattle when Miguel Gonzalez (5-5, 3.77 ERA) faces 24-year-old left-hander James Paxton (2-0, 2.25 ERA). Gonzalez is pitching very well recently. He's given up two or fewer earned runs in four straight starts and seven of his last 10. He is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.82 in the past...

Tillman's take: Right-hander provides his thoughts on O's improved pitching

Tillman's take: Right-hander provides his thoughts on O's improved pitching
This is quite a good trend for Orioles pitching. The staff ERA has improved during each month this year. The ERA went from 4.49 in March/April to 4.00 in May to 3.46 in June to 2.96 in July. That July mark was the fourth-best team ERA in the majors for the month and best July ERA by an O's pitching staff since the 1976 team posted a 2.90 ERA. It was the best ERA in a full month (minimum 20 games) by any O's squad since the 2.90 mark from May 1981. For the season, the Orioles' 3.69 team ERA...

Chen was good again and the O's starting pitching roll continues

Chen was good again and the O's starting pitching roll continues
So I would think the Orioles and their fans could get used to this starting pitching. The Orioles rotation is on a roll with no end in sight. Wei-Yin Chen was the latest with a strong start as he gave up one run and five hits over 7 1/3 innings last night. On a night the O's scored just two runs, Chen's outing helped put them in the win column. Chen was facing the same team in back-to-back starts. In the two outings against Seattle, he pitched 15 1/3 innings, giving up 10 hits and one run....

Andrew Miller on his O's debut and the crowd reception, plus other clubhouse quotes

Andrew Miller on his O's debut and the crowd reception, plus other clubhouse quotes
Even before he was introduced into the game tonight, Andrew Miller got a big reception from Orioles fans in the eighth inning as he was about to throw his first pitch for the team. He made his O's debut and it was a success, as he protected the club's 2-1 lead with two groundouts around a walk to Robinson Cano. "Real exciting reception," Miller said. "I was a little amped up at first. But the goal is to hand the ball off to the next guy with the lead. Bridge the gap between an excellent...

O's beat Seattle 2-1 in club-record tying seventh straight one-run game
Get a solid pitching performance and win a close game. It's a formula the Orioles are using a lot these days. They used it again tonight to beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in front of 39,487 in the opener of the weekend series behind Wei-Yin Chen. This was the Orioles' club-record tying seventh straight one-run game and they are 5-2 during that stretch. The Orioles improved to 61-47 for the season to match their season-high at 14 games over .500. They are now 20-11 against the American...

O's game blog: Looking for offense as the Seattle series begins

O's game blog: Looking for offense as the Seattle series begins
The Orioles started off the Angels series by scoring 11 runs in the first two games. But they got blanked over 13 innings last night and have not scored in their last 17 innings as their series with Seattle begins tonight. Even in winning six of 10 on their West Coast trip, the Orioles hit just .202 as a team and scored 36 runs. A look at some O's hitters recently: * Nelson Cruz is 0-for-17 over his last five games and 2-for-29 over his last eight. Over his last 18 games, Cruz is 7-for-65...

Britton on Miller, Machado on robbing Pujols of hits

Britton on Miller, Machado on robbing Pujols of hits
As Andrew Miller joins the Orioles bullpen tonight, he gives the team another power lefty for late in the game. Zach Britton is ready to welcome Miller to the team and the 'pen. "He'll be a good addition," Britton said this afternoon. "We watched him throw for Boston and everything we've heard from our hitters, he's a tough at-bat for lefties and righties. "Anytime you have a tall lefty with the angle that he gets with the velocity and movement on the slider, it's a very...

Andrew Miller: "Clearly they are doing something right here"

Andrew Miller: "Clearly they are doing something right here"
New reliever Andrew Miller was asked today what he thought of the Orioles when he was watching them from the Boston dugout. "Admired playing against them," Miller said at his first O's press conference. "Someone asked if this was a big change and if I had any animosity toward Baltimore. Definitely not. "Clearly they are doing something right here. Last couple of years they've been one of the best teams in what I believe to be the best division in baseball. To be up there is an...

Brach on his outing, cheering section, plus reaction to the Andrew Miller trade

Brach on his outing, cheering section, plus reaction to the Andrew Miller trade
Right-hander Brad Brach has been pitching very well for the Orioles and that continued at Camden Yards last night. In the Orioles 1-0 loss in 13 innings to the Angels, Brach pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings on just 21 pitches. He retired all six batters he faced with three strikeouts. "When you go out there in a tie game, you just want to get the outs as quick as you can and get the team back in to hit," Brach said. "That is all I was focused on, to put up zeroes for the...

Webb on the loss, plus Norris and Joseph comments

Webb on the loss, plus Norris and Joseph comments
There were 12 pitchers used between the two teams tonight but Ryan Webb certainly was disappointed to be the only one that was scored on. He gave up an RBI single to Albert Pujols in the top of the 13th inning of the Angels' 1-0 win over the Orioles. "You never want to be the one to give it up," Webb said. "A game like that, 12 or 13 innings without giving up a run. It (stinks). You can't walk the leadoff guy, especially with those guys coming up. I went out and did it in four pitches....

Angels break scoreless tie to beat O's 1-0 in 13 innings

Angels break scoreless tie to beat O's 1-0 in 13 innings
Someone finally scored. Usually something good happens to the Orioles when the game reaches extra innings, but tonight the Los Angeles Angels broke the long, grueling scoreless tie and beat the Birds 1-0 in 13 innings. Albert Pujols, who had been robbed of hits twice tonight by Manny Machado, lined an RBI single to center to break the 0-0 tie in the 13th inning. Kole Calhoun led off the inning with a walk off Ryan Webb, and Mike Trout's single sent him to third. Pujols knocked in his 67th...

O's game blog: Orioles look for a three-game sweep against the Angels
The Orioles will try to complete their first three-game home sweep against the Angels tonight since Aug. 3-5, 2010. The Orioles have won back-to-back one-run games to take the first two games of this series and they are 9-3 against the Angels since 2013. The Orioles are 19-10 (.655) against the American League West, which is the best record in the league against that division. Bud Norris (8-7, 3.94) gets the start tonight against Angels' lefty Tyler Skaggs (5-5, 4.49 ERA). In five career...

A take on the Andrew Miller-Eduardo Rodriguez deal

A take on the Andrew Miller-Eduardo Rodriguez deal
Dan Duquette called Andrew Miller a left-handed reliever that can dominate left-handed batters and be very effective against right-handed batters as well. In the end, it appears the Orioles were just not willing to pay the price to get a starter like Jon Lester or David Price, so they strengthened the back-end of their bullpen. As Duquette mentioned today, a lot of postseason games are decided late by the performance of the bullpens. Miller is having one strong season. He is 3-5 with a 2.35...

Eduardo Rodriguez reacts to being traded by the Orioles

Eduardo Rodriguez reacts to being traded by the Orioles
He's been with the Orioles since the day he was signed by former Oriole pitcher Calvin Maduro out of Valencia, Venezuela in January 2010. But now, 21-year-old left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez is leaving the organization after being traded today to Boston for reliever Andrew Miller. Reached by phone today in Binghamton, New York where the Double-A Bowie Baysox play tonight, Rodriguez said he was surprised by the news. "They called me and said you got traded. I just have to keep doing my...

Britton's sinker, Jones' Camden Yards homers and a take on Jon Lester

Britton's sinker, Jones' Camden Yards homers and a take on Jon Lester
Zach Britton got another save for the Orioles last night. It was No. 21 and he is now 3-2 with a 1.65 ERA, 21 saves in 24 chances and a .187 batting average against. Britton said again last night that while the impression may be that he's never thrown a sinker as well as he's throwing it this year, that is just not true. "I felt like when I was healthy in the minors this is kind of what it was doing," he said. "Not at this velocity, but the movement of course. This is probably the best...

Gausman, Britton and Jones comment after the O's beat the Angels
Kevin Gausman retired the first 14 batters he faced tonight, but he walked three in a row and they all scored in the top of the fifth. But he was pleased that he rebounded from that poor inning to get Los Angeles out in the sixth and seventh to complete his outing as the Orioles beat the Angels 4-3. "I was pretty mentally drained after that fifth inning," he said. "Just tried to continue to lock in. Dave (Wallace) and everyone on the bench just said try to live pitch by pitch and focus on...

Gausman goes seven for win, Jones homers as O's beat Angels
Kevin Gausman pitched six very good innings and one shaky one. The O's offense camp up big early and then got quiet. It still added up to another Orioles victory. Gausman picked up the win and Adam Jones hit another first-inning homer as the Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 at Camden Yards. The Orioles' last five games have all been decided by one run and the O's are 4-1. Los Angeles is 16-7 in its last 23 games, going 1-4 versus the Orioles and 15-3 against everyone else. The Orioles...

Ubaldo Jimenez on his night in Aberdeen and that postgame spread

Ubaldo Jimenez on his night in Aberdeen and that postgame spread
We don't know yet when Ubaldo Jimenez will return to the Orioles, but we do know his sprained right ankle passed a test in Aberdeen last night. Pitching for the short-season Single-A IronBirds, Jimenez went 4 2/3 innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run with three walks and strikeouts against Tri-City. Jimenez, who went on the disabled list July 13 (retroactive to July 8), was back in the Orioles clubhouse this afternoon. "Feel good," he said. "I was able to get on the mound without...
