The Orioles have now gone 80 consecutive series dating to May of 2022 without being swept in a series. Their win by 7-0 over Toronto last night pushed their incredible streak to 80. No sweep for the Blue Jays and maybe even no series victory if Baltimore can win tonight. The Orioles (78-48) are leading the AL East by two games over Tampa Bay and by

Cole Irvin and Kyle Gibson see nothing wrong with it. Never to be accused of reliever bias in Cy Young Award voting. Give it to the best pitcher, whatever role he fills. Whether he’s on the mound to start the first inning or the ninth. Orioles closer Félix Bautista is aware of the chatter surrounding his candidacy. Irvin dresses only a few lockers

NEW YORK – What was already the Nationals’ worst night in weeks, strictly from a performance standpoint, turned worse in the bottom of the seventh at Yankee Stadium. A 9-1 loss to New York included a disastrous second inning for MacKenzie Gore and a defense behind him that was tough to watch, but that paled in comparison to the sight of Stone Garre

The short notice didn’t reduce Dean Kremer’s effectiveness. The previous back soreness didn’t drain the power from Anthony Santander’s bat. Told yesterday that he’d move up to start tonight, Kremer twirled six scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. Didn’t walk a batter. Didn’t flinch at the assignment.   Santander returned to the lineup and hit h

The Orioles have gone 10 straight American League East series without losing one since April – going 8-0-2 - but they have a challenge to win their current series with the Toronto Blue Jays. After Toronto’s 6-3 win Monday in 10 innings, the Orioles now need two straight wins to take another division series. The Orioles are now 24-15 for the year in

NEW YORK – Though encouraged by the recent return of two key relievers from the injured list, the Nationals recently received bad news about one of their other key bullpen arms attempting to return from the IL. Carl Edwards Jr. has been shut down indefinitely with a stress fracture in his right scapula, a significant derailment of the veteran’s reh

The Orioles aren’t listing starters for Thursday night or the three-game weekend series against the Rockies. The rotation is fluid after the decision to push back Jack Flaherty. Flaherty said he didn’t bounce back after his last start in San Diego. Specifics are scarce. “It was decided yesterday pregame to just give him a little bit extra time,” sa

The Orioles’ farm system has retained its spot at the top in the latest midseason rankings by Baseball America, ESPN, and MLB Pipeline. This marks the second straight year that the Orioles have been ranked as the best farm system in baseball by these three outlets. “The continued recognition of our farm system is a testament to the hard work and ex

When last seen pitching for the Orioles in mid-June, right-hander Austin Voth had allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings over a five-game stretch with a .391 batting average against. That led to a trip to the injured list with right elbow discomfort, and just today Voth has returned to the Orioles' active roster. He was activated from the 60-day IL as M

Jack Flaherty said he was scratched from tonight’s start against the Blue Jays because “sometimes you don’t bounce back the way you want to.” Flaherty is referring to his Aug. 15 start in San Diego, when he allowed seven runs in three innings and came out after 84 pitches. “You just try to make the right decision of making sure that you feel right,
