It's been a weird stretch for the Nationals. One week ago, they were feeling really good about themselves, having just won series over both the Mariners and Braves. Since then, they've lost a series to the Guardians, been swept by the Mets and lost Thursday night's series opener to the Braves despite the fact Mitchell Parker carried a no-hitter int

TORONTO – For an Orioles team that hit seven homers and scored 17 runs in the first two games of the Toronto series, it was disappointing when the team then went a stretch of 12 innings without a run until the sixth inning yesterday. Four late runs – two in the eighth and ninth innings – turned a 6-1 loss into one where the score was 6-5, Toronto.

The mailbag won’t enter Canada unless it’s the postseason, but Florida is fine. The Orioles begin another four-game series tonight at Tropicana Field and hope to do better than a split. The bar is raised. It wasn’t that long ago that winning twice against the Blue Jays would have been cause for celebration. Let’s get to the latest sequel to the bel

Having already passed just about every test thrown his way in his first two months in the majors, Mitchell Parker stared down a new challenge tonight: Face an opponent for the second time, and ideally try to beat that club again. Parker did everything he could to pass the test, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning against the Braves and a shu

The Nationals’ offensive identity this season was established early in April. Knowing they weren’t likely to hit for much power, they decided their best chance at scoring runs was to get on base and then use their speed abilities to get around the bases as quickly as possible. Two months later, the Nats lead the majors with 95 stolen bases, with fo

TORONTO – Lefty Cade Povich’s big league debut began in fine fashion on a sunny afternoon in downtown Toronto. He retired the first three batters he faced on just nine pitches. He fanned his first batter, left fielder Davis Schneider, swinging at an elevated 92 mph fastball. Facing a Toronto Blue Jays lineup not as feared as it once was, Povich - r

This homestand started off in miserable fashion for the Nationals, who were swept by the Mets and didn’t look particularly good in the process. They now have to try to salvage things with a four-game series against a team that on paper is far more intimidating in the Braves. The good news: The Nats just took three of four in Atlanta last week, so t

TORONTO - O's fans get to see a major league debut today as lefty Cade Povich gets the start for the Orioles in the fourth and final game of their series in Toronto. Povich has gone 5-1 with a 3.18 ERA in 11 Triple-A starts this season with Norfolk. Over 56 2/3 innings he has allowed 42 hits, including five home runs, and recorded 21 walks and

TORONTO – Reporters' daily interest about the upcoming Orioles rotation naturally led to questions about what that rotation could look like for the upcoming Tampa Bay series. Manager Brandon Hyde today said that, as of now, the Orioles are yet to be determined for that entire series, which begins Friday night in St. Petersburg. But he also, when as
