Gunnar Henderson got hot again at the plate. His .234/.303/.405 August was followed by nine hits in 19 at-bats prior to yesterday, with a double, three home runs, seven RBIs and four walks. The tater total is two shy of last month’s output in 28 games and one more than he hit in 24 games in July. And he was robbed of a three-run shot yesterday on J

PITTSBURGH – It’s hard to sweep a doubleheader. It’s even harder when your Game 2 starter can’t get out of the fourth inning, you have to ask four relievers who already pitched in Game 1 to come back and do it again five hours later and you have to ask a lineup loaded with inexperienced hitters to mount a ninth-inning rally against Aroldis Chapman.

Zach Eflin has provided a huge lift to the Orioles since his arrival in a trade with Tampa Bay. It was their turn to pick him up. They owed him. They had numerous chances. They didn’t do it. Eflin served up leadoff home runs to Yandy Díaz in the first inning and Taylor Walls in the third, and the Orioles couldn’t deliver in the clutch in a 7-1 loss

The Orioles have made the following roster move:  Agreed to terms on a 2024 Minor League contract with INF/OF Terrin Vavra.

PITTSBURGH – The Nationals got the job done in Game 1 of today’s doubleheader against the Pirates. DJ Herz tossed five no-hit innings before departing with his pitch count at 87. Dylan Crews homered, doubled and drove in two runs. The bullpen hung on, with Kyle Finnegan barely surviving another harrowing ninth inning to close out a 5-3 victory. Now

PITTSBURGH – There may come a day when DJ Herz is given the opportunity to make history. That day will come once the 23-year-old left-hander has some more experience, has proven he can pitch a bit more efficiently and gives the Nationals sufficient reason to take the reins off him. That day wasn’t today, not in Herz’s 16th big league start, not wit

Riding a small winning stretch - with four wins in the last five games - the Orioles will get another series win today if they can beat the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park. The Orioles (82-60) pitched their ninth shutout of 2024 in winning 2-0 Friday night on a four-pitcher three-hitter with 12 strikeouts. In winning four of five, O's pitchers h

PITTSBURGH – There are only three weeks left in the Nationals' season. Trevor Williams is determined to make sure he pitches for them again before everyone heads home for the winter. The right-hander, out since late May with a flexor strain in his elbow, believes he’s on track to do just that. He’s faced live hitters twice in the last week-plus, an

Emmanuel Rivera is playing third base today as the Orioles try for the series win against the Rays at Camden Yards. James McCann is catching, with Adley Rutschman serving as designated hitter. Jackson Holliday is batting seventh. Zach Eflin is facing his former team for the second time this season. He shut them out on four hits in seven innings on

PITTSBURGH – And we’re back. After Friday’s rainout – FYI, it didn’t even start raining until about 9 p.m. – the Nationals and Pirates reconvene for what’s going to be a very long Saturday afternoon and evening. It’s a day-night doubleheader, the first game starting at 1:35 p.m., the nightcap starting at 6:40 p.m. as initially planned. Both of Frid
