CLEVELAND – Drew Millas was sitting in the dugout in Rochester during Saturday night’s game against St. Paul, not in the Red Wings lineup and not having any reason to think his manager was about to start yelling at him. And then he heard Matt LeCroy bellow out: “Millas, come down here!” Not sure what this could possibly be about, the young catcher

It has not reached triple digits, like the Orioles' sweepless streak in the regular season that finally ended at 106 straight in St. Louis. But it’s impressive in a different kind of way. In an American League East division where the Orioles finished 48 games behind in 2021, 49 back in 2019 and were 61 games out at the end of the 2018 season, the O

The May 8 game in D.C. seems so long ago. Worlds away for the closer with the fifth-most saves in baseball history. Craig Kimbrel didn’t make it out of the ninth inning again for the fourth time in five tries. He allowed two runs with a hit and a pair of walks, and his ERA swelled to 4.73. Manager Brandon Hyde spoke with him about a reset, with his

Walking along Eutaw Street may require protective headgear. Anthony Santander launched a baseball over the flag court in right field yesterday and Gunnar Henderson splashed down this afternoon with his 19th home run and sixth leading off the first inning. Zack Littell got a called strike with his sinker and regretted the slider that followed. Hende

CLEVELAND – The schedule has not been kind to the Nationals through the season’s first two months, from far more games on the road (35) than at home (23) to a current stretch of 17 consecutive games without a scheduled day off to a number of series against some of the top contenders in both leagues. How have the Nats handled it all? Maybe they have

The Orioles have recorded four series sweeps of three or more games this season and can record a fifth today if they beat the Rays at Oriole Park. The Orioles (37-19) have posted weekend wins by 3-1 and 9-5 over the Rays to get to a season-best 18 games over the .500 mark. The Orioles have won three in a row by a combined 18-7 score and are 8-1 ove

CLEVELAND – The Nationals swapped out backup catchers this morning, optioning Riley Adams to Triple-A and recalling Drew Millas from Rochester, hoping the latter can provide a more potent bat in the big leagues while the former tries to rediscover his swing (while also getting playing time at another position) in the minors. Adams got off to a hot

Austin Hays is in left field this afternoon as the Orioles close out the series against the Rays and their homestand. Cedric Mullins is in center and Anthony Santander is in right. Just like the old days. Jordan Westburg is the third baseman and Adley Rutschman is serving as the designated hitter. Colton Cowser has posted a 1.009 OPS when batting s

CLEVELAND – The Nationals need a win in today’s series finale to avoid getting swept by a Guardians team that has won 14 of its last 17 and is absolutely rolling right now. Both games this weekend have been competitive, with Friday night’s opener turning ugly late when the Nats bullpen gave up five runs and Saturday’s affair a tight one-run loss th

The Washington Nationals recalled catcher Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester and optioned catcher Riley Adams to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Millas, 26, joins the Nationals for the third time this season after hitting .308 with six doubles, five home
