Dylan Bundy gets first win as a starter as O's top Cleveland

Dylan Bundy gets first win as a starter as O's top Cleveland
Showing an effective pitch mix from the outset tonight, Orioles rookie right-hander Dylan Bundy picked up his first win as a starting pitcher as the O's beat Cleveland 5-1 in the opener of a three-game series. Bundy's secondary pitches were effective early on as he pitched a career-best five innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run. He did not walk a batter, fanned five and threw 87 pitches. Bundy is 3-2 with an ERA of 3.30. Bundy struck out the side in the first inning around a Jason...

Orioles continue to battle opponents, illness and injury (O's up 5-0)

Orioles continue to battle opponents, illness and injury (O's up 5-0)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter was a lighter shade of green today, so he must be feeling better. The stomach virus is hitting guys hard. Showalter didn't lean on the dugout railing for the entirety of yesterday's game at Yankee Stadium. He kept disappearing into the shade and beneath an air vent. "I don't have to play. Kept reminding myself of that," Showalter said. "Gives you an even healthier respect for the players. We had trouble getting nine on the field yesterday. We had like 10...

Duquette on Harvey and trade market

Duquette on Harvey and trade market
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette indicated today that he still hopes to add a starting pitcher before the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline. However, he also noted how it's a thin market that increases the challenge of upgrading the rotation. Duquette's focus remains on the rotation ahead of the bullpen and outfield despite injuries to Hyun Soo Kim and Joey Rickard. The latter appears to be headed to the disabled list. Dariel Alvarez would be recalled to take Rickard's spot on...

Rickard may be headed to disabled list

Rickard may be headed to disabled list
The Orioles are waiting for the results of the MRI on Joey Rickard's right thumb. However, they're braced for the worst and already have a player ready in case it's a disabled list situation. It sounds ominous for Rickard, who hurt the thumb Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium while trying to catch Brett Gardner's leadoff triple in the first inning. He stayed in the game, but wasn't available yesterday. The Virginian-Pilot reported that Dariel Alvarez wasn't at Triple-A Norfolk today for...

Williams on Barrett option and Cabrera on his new team

Williams on Barrett option and Cabrera on his new team
The Nationals activated infielder Asdrubal Cabrera prior to Friday's game against the Phillies. The team optioned right-hander Aaron Barrett to Triple-A Syracuse. Manager Matt Williams said there were a couple of reasons they decided to send Barrett back to the minors. "(Ross Detwiler's) pitched really well. So we want to get him some higher leverage lefty-lefty situations," Williams said. "Aaron has been in a lot of pressure situations so far and it's not easy for a first-year pitcher...

Williams on Walters' "big potential" in Cleveland, Rizzo on 2011 trade that got him to Nats
The Nationals decided to trade future potential for playoff experience and depth for their infield on Thursday, sending prospect Zach Walters to the Cleveland Indians for veteran infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. Manager Matt Williams said Walters thought he was in trouble when his skipper called him into the office early Thursday to deliver the news. "Shocked as anybody else would (be)," Williams said. "I said, 'No,' " when Walters suggested he might have done something wrong. "We've made...

Zimmerman to DH; Nats lineup tonight vs. Indians

Zimmerman to DH; Nats lineup tonight vs. Indians
For only the fifth time in his career, Ryan Zimmerman will be the designated hitter as the Nationals take on the Cleveland Indians. Ironically, on June 13, 2010, Zimmerman was the designated hitter and batted third as the Nationals beat the Indians, 9-4, in Cleveland. The game was Stephen Strasburg's second start of his career and his second win. The lineup also has Steve Lombardozzi at second base. That means this will be Anthony Rendon's first day off since returning to the roster for a...
