Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles beat Yankees

Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles beat Yankees
Here is a sampling of some of the quotes from around the O's clubhouse after their comeback, 4-3 win over the New York Yankees tonight: Nate McLouth on his homer in the seventh: "It was a breaking ball, elevated, pretty much down the middle. I'm sure he didn't want to throw it there, but was able to put a good part of the bat on it." McLouth on the team win: "(Kevin) Gausman came in and I'm sure he hadn't come out of the bullpen yet in pro ball and that is not easy. It's totally...

McLouth hits go-ahead homer, Gausman gets first major league win as O's top Yankees

McLouth hits go-ahead homer, Gausman gets first major league win as O's top Yankees
Nate McLouth doesn't start much against left-handed pitchers but he came through tonight against a southpaw, CC Sabathia. Kevin Gausman is not usually a reliever, but he came through tonight out of the 'pen. And the Orioles rallied to beat the Yankees 4-3 in front of 40,041 at Camden Yards. After the Yankees scored three runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings off starter T.J. McFarland, Gausman came on the third and shut down the Yankees after that to get his first major league win. McLouth...

How will T.J. McFarland do against the Yankees tonight? (Gausman comes on in third)

How will T.J. McFarland do against the Yankees tonight? (Gausman comes on in third)
Tonight T.J. McFarland gets a big opportunity. It's his first chance to show the Orioles what he can do as a starting pitcher as he takes the mound against the Yankees. McFarland is 1-0 with a 4.14 ERA, and the Rule 5 pick has been effective in a long relief role. But he's been a starter most of his minor league career. He made 116 career appearances before this season and 107 were as a starter. Every outing he had the last two years came as a starter, with most of those at Double-A and some...

Nate McLouth on the home crowd, facing Sabathia and more (draft picks head to Aberdeen)

Nate McLouth on the home crowd, facing Sabathia and more (draft picks head to Aberdeen)
It was after one of the late season games last season when the Orioles' Nate McLouth compared the Camden Yards fans to a college football crowd. He thought the home-field advantage was that good then. McLouth would like to see the same turnout this weekend, when big crowds are expected for all three games of the Yankees-Orioles series that starts here tonight. "I can just speak on what I'd heard that Camden Yards seemed to be a place in the past where a lot of New York fans would come and...

ESPN's Buster Olney on the Orioles-Yankees rivalry

ESPN's Buster Olney on the Orioles-Yankees rivalry
The Orioles turned around several years of losing to the Yankees in 2012, the year they ended their long playoff drought. After going 5-13 against New York from 2009-11, the Orioles went 9-9 vs. the Yankees in the regular season last year. They lost the first four games the teams played and are 12-8 in the last 20 regular season games. The teams have split six games this season with New York scoring 22 runs to the O's 20. ESPN's Buster Olney, who will be in town this weekend for the...

Adam Jones talks about the AL outfield All-Star voting

Adam Jones talks about the AL outfield All-Star voting
The last time it happened in the American League was in 2005. That was the most recent time that teammates started in the All-Star game in the AL outfield through the fan-elected vote. Boston's Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez were voted to start that game. The Orioles' Adam Jones and Nick Markakis are bidding to do it this year. When the most recent voting was released last weekend, Jones was still first among AL outfielders, just ahead of Mike Trout, and Markakis was third in the...

Manny Machado talks about his first major league ejection (Jones, Gonzalez comments also)

Manny Machado talks about his first major league ejection (Jones, Gonzalez comments also)
Manny Machado said he had been ejected one time before, in the minor leagues, but he could not remember exactly when. His first big league ejection came tonight in the fifth inning of the Orioles' 7-3 win over Cleveland when he struck out and later was ejected by home plate umpire Will Little. "Swung at a bad pitch and thought I fouled it off," Machado said. "Obviously, looking back on the replay I didn't. Something I said wrong to the umpire and I have to pay the consequences for it....

O's five-run fifth features Machado ejection but leads to comeback win

O's five-run fifth features Machado ejection but leads to comeback win
One productive, but very strange, half inning sent the Orioles to a rain delayed 7-3 victory over Cleveland tonight and to a split of this four-game series in front of 33,086 at Camden Yards. The game was halted by rain, leading to a delay of an hour and 18 minutes before the last of the seventh. The Orioles went to the last of the fifth trailing the Indians 3-2 but scored five runs on six hits in an inning which saw Manny Machado get ejected and Adam Jones get called out for leaving second...

After two seven-inning outings for O's, Gonzalez goes for a trio tonight (updated)

After two seven-inning outings for O's, Gonzalez goes for a trio tonight (updated)
Can the Orioles get another long outing from another starting pitcher tonight? For the first time all year, O's starters have gone seven innings or more in back-to-back games with Chris Tillman and Jason Hammel doing that on Tuesday and Wednesday vs. Cleveland. Miguel Gonzalez (5-3, 3.75 ERA) makes his 14th start tonight and he's a good candidate to get deep into the game. For one, Gonzalez is pitching pretty well right now and he's gone seven or more twice in his last three...

Orioles planning to move Eduardo Rodriguez to Double-A (plus Gomez's milestone win)
He is having quite a year at just 20 years old in the Carolina League pitching for the Single-A Frederick Keys, but now the Orioles are set to move left-handed pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez to the Double-A Bowie Baysox. Rodriguez just yesterday was named to pitch representing the Orioles in the Futures Game for the World Team. The native of Valencia, Venezuela was a spring training invitee to the Orioles' major league camp at Ed Smith Stadium, where he was shown some of the big league...

After nearly leaving the organization, Ishikawa trying to make it with the Orioles

After nearly leaving the organization, Ishikawa trying to make it with the Orioles
Just a few days ago, Travis Ishikawa was a player possibly headed out of the O's organization. Tonight he will make his fifth start with the team and third at first base. When you are a reserve, your roster spot is far from secure, but the veteran is here now after opting out of his minor league contract June 16 and forcing the O's to either bring him to the major leagues or risk losing him to another club. They added him to the 25-man roster and he is 2-for-13 with an RBI in his first five...

To no one's surprise, O's aren't winning the same percentage of the close ones this year

To no one's surprise, O's aren't winning the same percentage of the close ones this year
Those of you who said the Orioles couldn't possibly play as well as they did last year in close games were right. Those of you who said the O's bullpen couldn't pitch as well as it did last year, it is looking like you will be right. Last night's loss was the Orioles' sixth on the year when they were leading after eight innings. That is the most losses in the league in those games. This stat is not good: The Orioles are now 35-6 when leading after eight innings. That loss total matches...

Jim Johnson talks about Cleveland's two-run rally in the ninth (plus Hammel, Jones)

Jim Johnson talks about Cleveland's two-run rally in the ninth (plus Hammel, Jones)
Jim Johnson had recorded 12 saves in his last 12 chances, but No. 13 got away from him and the Orioles tonight as Cleveland scored twice off him in the ninth to win 4-3. "The leadoff walk, that is pretty much what led to the whole inning. Lately, that is uncharacteristic and something I need to work on," Johnson said. He walked Michael Brantley on four pitches, Jason Giambi doubled and Cleveland's comeback was on. "It was not a good quality pitch (to Giambi), but the whole inning started...

Cleveland matches O's rally, scores two in the ninth off Jim Johnson to win 4-3

Cleveland matches O's rally, scores two in the ninth off Jim Johnson to win 4-3
They rallied, but then so did Cleveland. After the Orioles scored twice in the last of the eighth tonight to get a 3-2 lead, Cleveland scored twice in the ninth off Jim Johnson to post a 4-3 win. It was the fifth blown save for the O's closer, who had saved 12 in a row since a blown save May 26 at Toronto. Johnson, seeking his 28th save, issued a four-pitch walk to Micheal Brantley to start the ninth and Jason Giambi doubled. An intentional walk followed and back-to-back ground balls scored...

A return to 2012 form by Jason Hammel would be big for the Orioles

A return to 2012 form by Jason Hammel would be big for the Orioles
Tonight would be a good time for Jason Hammel to pitch better than he has in recent outings. Hammel went 8-6 with a 3.43 ERA last year and while he is 7-4 this year, his ERA is up there at 5.30. Hammel has allowed four runs over six innings in each of his last two outings and in his most recent four starts, he is 0-2 with an ERA of 6.23. His last win came May 27 against Washington. His hits per nine innings are up and his strikeout rate is down. Hammel has been able to put together...

Valencia wants to be latest Oriole to contribute off bench (O's send two to Futures Game)

Valencia wants to be latest Oriole to contribute off bench (O's send two to Futures Game)
Maybe it won't be as dramatic as what Alexi Casilla did last night, but Danny Valencia would like a repeat. Last night, Casilla, who hasn't had much playing time recently, hit a key three-run homer in an Orioles win. It can be hard to sit for a while as a reserve and then start and come up big for the team, but that is the role of the bench player to try and stay ready when he gets a chance. Valencia gets his shot tonight batting eighth against Cleveland in the DH spot. "You go through...

Urrutia's defense starts to catch up to his bat and promotion could be coming (Baysox All Stars)

Urrutia's defense starts to catch up to his bat and promotion could be coming (Baysox All Stars)
It was April 19 when Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia joined the Double-A Bowie Baysox. Before long, the hits came ringing off his bat. It wasn't much longer after that, that fans start wondering if the Orioles would promote the hot-hitting Urrutia to Triple-A - or even the majors, at some point. In early May, O's director of player development Brian Graham said Urrutia, who hadn't played much in two years, had to show the organization more than just offense to get promoted. He needed to be...

Wieters on Casilla and other notes on victory that ended losing streak

Wieters on Casilla and other notes on victory that ended losing streak
On Monday night, Zach Britton took a two-hitter and two-run lead into the sixth and didn't make it through the inning. Last night, Cleveland's Justin Masterson took a three-hitter and two-run lead to the seventh inning but couldn't make it through that frame. Two pitchers seemingly rolling along and then - boom - they give up the lead and lose the game. Masterson rolled into the seventh inning with a 3-1 lead and the Orioles looked well on their way to a fifth loss in a row. Then Chris...

Casilla and Davis on their homers and the comeback win

Casilla and Davis on their homers and the comeback win
He was an unlikely homer hitter, but Alexi Casilla put one big swing on the ball in the last of the seventh tonight for the Orioles. His three-run homer broke the 3-3 tie and sent the team to a 6-3 win over Cleveland. Casilla asked to use an interpreter for the postgame interview and O's coach Einar Diaz helped out. "I felt great after I hit the home run," Casilla said. "After we lost four games in a row, the team had it coming. Wanted to do something for the team. "I struck out twice...

O's use two longballs to end one losing streak

O's use two longballs to end one losing streak
They needed that. Held without a single baserunner through four innings tonight by Cleveland's Justin Masterson and trailing 3-1 as they headed to the bottom of the seventh, the O's offense rose up to produce a big inning that ended their four-game losing streak. The five-run seventh lifted the Orioles past Cleveland 6-3 at Camden Yards as Chris Tillman went seven innings to improve to 9-2. Masterson took a three-hitter into the seventh, but hit Adam Jones with the innings's first pitch...
