The final out was made in the bottom of the third inning tonight and Orioles chairman and CEO John Angelos and Governor Wes Moore appeared on the video board in center field. They were applauding. Big smiles on their faces. Huge news printed below them. The Orioles, Moore and the State of Maryland, and the Maryland Stadium Authority agreed to a dea

The Orioles will take the field tonight at Camden Yards to open a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox. They need one win to clinch their 10th American League East division championship and first since the 2014 season. The Orioles (99-59) can also become the sixth team in club history and first since 1980 to win 100 games. Last night the clu

The last two spots in the Orioles rotation this weekend remain vacant in case they clinch the division title early and manager Brandon Hyde can tweak it. Perhaps hold back Kyle Bradish, whose next turn is Sunday. Maybe give Jack Flaherty a start. Go against where it normally would flow. Hyde knows that a win tonight or Friday, when John Means is li

When asked today when he saw a light at the end of the tunnel, and when center fielder Cedric Mullins thought the Orioles had turned from a losing team into a winning one, he cited an 11-day period in July during the 2022 season. From July 3-13, 2022, the Orioles won 10 games in a row. A stretch that included seven wins by two runs or less and thre

A win tonight gives the Orioles their 10th division title and first since 2014. It’s that simple. The magic number is one and the Orioles are entering a four-game series against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. A 100th victory would match their total in 1980. Ryan Mountcastle returns to the lineup and is playing first base. He was reinstated from the 1

From 110 losses to 100 wins in two years is pretty remarkable. The Orioles haven't done it yet, but their next win, and they would love for it to come tonight, will put them at 100 wins and also wrap up the American League East championship. The Orioles have won AL East titles previously in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1979, 1983, 1997 and 2014. 

Nationals' general manager Mike Rizzo likes to create competition. It’s something he talks about every spring training. Whether it’s bringing in an experienced veteran, a struggling journeyman or a rising prospect, the longtime GM has always believed the more competition the better, He has brought that philosophy to the minor league farm system, as

While picking the brain of a scout from outside the organization about the Orioles’ farm system, which players stood out to him, which ones graded highly, I noticed how he paused the minor league analysis and headed straight to Baltimore. “Of course, your big league club is loaded. It’s loaded,” he said. “I mean, you guys are impressive.” And then,

BALTIMORE – The Nationals have been this version of the Orioles before, a team loaded with young talent cruising toward a division title with visions of October glory on the horizon. And the Orioles have been this version of the Nationals before, a team trying to climb the mountain again, enduring growing pains now in the hopes they’ll be rewarded

One more night. Maybe that’s how much longer the Orioles must wait to clinch the American League East for the first time since 2014. A night when they don’t need anyone’s help. Adley Rutschman homered, singled and drove in three runs, the bullpen retired all 10 batters behind starter Grayson Rodriguez, and the Orioles won 5-1 before an announced cr
