Henderson and Cowser receive monthly honors

The Orioles won three of four games from the Yankees, they lead the division, and they just claimed two monthly awards. This is a team on a roll. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson was named the American League’s Player of the Month and outfielder Colton Cowser was chosen Rookie of the Month. Henderson batted .291 (34-for-117) with three doubles, three tri
Just as the Orioles drew it up when this series began Monday night at Camden Yards. OK, probably not. Even though they lost a starter in Grayson Rodriguez to injury during the Yankees series and now we know that Craig Kimbrel didn’t pitch once in the series, they would still shutdown a Yankees team that had scored 15 runs each on Saturday and Sunda
35,000 FEET ABOVE AMERICA – Good morning, everyone! As you read this, I'm en route from Dallas to Washington, returning home following the Nationals' three-game series against the Rangers. It was a frustrating series in many ways, but it still included an impressive win and some very impressive pitching performances. The Nats open a five-game homes
Austin Hays grabbed his spikes yesterday and walked out of the Orioles’ clubhouse. He had another box to check. Hays ran the bases for the first time since landing on the 10-day injured list on April 22 with a strained left calf muscle. He sprinted from third to home and wasn’t favoring the leg. That was only part of his workout. The Orioles didn’t
ARLINGTON, Texas – One of these days, perhaps in the near future, perhaps in the not-so-near future, the Nationals will reach the .500 mark and win their next game so they can proudly declare they are a winning baseball team for the first time in three years. That day isn’t today, though. Because presented with their third opportunity this season t
Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish fired a 96.3 mph two-seam fastball to Yankees leadoff hitter Anthony Volpe for a called strike. And not only was Game 4 of this series underway, but so was Bradish’s first big league outing since last October’s American League Division Series. He was activated today off the 15-day injured list after dealing with a
Fans invited to attend home games at no cost The Orioles’ year-round baseball operations continue in Sarasota, Fla. with the Florida Complex League (FCL) Orioles, who begin play on Saturday, May 4, at Ed Smith Stadium. The FCL O’s are scheduled to play 30 home games between May 4 and July 25, with potential playoffs from July 27-30. The FCL, which
ARLINGTON, Texas – This wasn’t how Jacob Young envisioned the streak coming to an end. If he was finally going to be thrown out trying to steal a base, he didn’t want it to be the result of an overslide. “You’d rather get thrown out by six steps than have something like that happen,” the Nationals rookie said with a laugh. “But in my mind, it was g
The Orioles and Yankees wrap up their four-game series this afternoon at Oriole Park before the O’s head to Cincinnati to begin their next road trip. The Orioles won by 2-0 and 4-2 scores the first two games. The Yankees held them to three singles in a 2-0 win last night. The Orioles were shut out for the first time in 2024. The Orioles (19-11) hav
The Orioles set their rotation for the series against the Reds in Cincinnati. Albert Suárez isn’t in it. Cole Irvin starts Friday night and John Means makes his 2024 debut the following night. Dean Kremer gets the ball Sunday afternoon. Suárez moves to the bullpen. He’s listed today among the relievers after posting a 2.35 ERA in three starts. “It’
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Nationals have another chance to win a series this afternoon, another chance to climb over the .500 mark. To do that, they’re probably going to have to score more than one run. It certainly wasn’t enough in Tuesday’s opener. It somehow was enough in Wednesday’s game. The odds of it being enough again today are slim. If nothin
