Miguel Tejada just hit a three-run homer to left in the last of the seventh to give the Orioles a 10-4 lead. It was Tejada's first homer since April 30 vs. Boston and ended a career-high 205 at bats between homers for him. It was his 5th of the year. Tejada entered this game with just one RBI over his previous 23 games and 99 at bats and now he is 4 for 5 with a homer and 4 RBI. He had just one RBI over 86 at bats in June coming into this game. His 4-RBI night ties his season best. He...

That's a pretty nice power surge by center fielder Adam Jones, who homered again tonight to give the Orioles a 6-4 lead going into the top of the sixth inning. Jones raised his home run total to 11, four of them coming in the last eight games. He's 2-for-3 tonight, giving him five straight two-hit games, and seven multi-hit games in his last 10. Felix Pie is 2-for-3 with an RBI as Single-A Frederick's DH and leadoff hitter. Double-A Bowie's Chorye Spoone is shutting out Reading on four...

Adam Jones came up with his second homer in two nights and 11th of the year. Jones solo shot in the fifth extends the Orioles lead on Florida to 6-4. He ripped a liner 356-feet to left center on an 0-1 pitch from Alex Sanabia. It was Jones' third homer in five games, his fourth over eight contests and his fifth in the last 15 contests.

The O's scored five runs on seven hits in the last of the third to take a 5-3 lead on Florida. This time the Marlins have blown the early lead. The five runs is one off their biggest inning of the year and seven hits is the most in any inning this year. Their previous best was six hits in one frame. The inning saw Miguel Tejada drive in a run with an RBI single. He began tonight with just one RBI over his last 23 games and 99 at bats. The streak reached 100 when he flied out in the top...

Coming into tonight's start, Kevin Millwood had allowed 18 runs over the first innings of his last six starts. His first-inning ERA on the year was 10.20. Then, the Marlins, looking to sweep this series, got two runs on four hits off him in the top of the first. Hanley Ramirez, still tormenting O's pitching and Dan Uggla came up with RBI singles. Millwood's season has taken a downturn despite him getting his first win of the year last weekend at San Diego. Over his first seven starts...

O's skipper Juan Samuel did not actually say the words that Brad Bergesen will be his starting pitcher on Saturday, but he did say Bergesen will join the team tomorrow. I think it's a pretty safe assumption at this point that Bergy takes the mound here Saturday at 4:05 p.m. Samuel was asked about Bergesen returning so soon, after just two Triple-A outings this time when he went back, covering 7 2/3 innings. "The report is he threw the ball okay in his starts and then his bullpen session...

They're old and retired, but barely a few days old. You've probably seen them at the Yard and wondered if they're here to stay. They're the retired number discs dotting the upper deck in left field at Camden Yards. As part of a series of ongoing upgrades and enhancements to Oriole Park, the Orioles have fixed all six retired Orioles numbers, as well as a blue and white 42 for Jackie Robinson, to permanent perches in the seating bowl. The retired number statues peppering Edward...

O's interim manager Juan Samuel said today that Brad Bergesen will join the Orioles tomorrow and that Koji Uehara could be activated as soon as Saturday. The O's will then likely be facing two roster moves over the next few days, to activate Bergesen to make Saturday's start and another move to get Uehara back active. Samuel today said those moves would probably involve removing one pitcher and one position player from the 25-man active roster. Koji pitched a simulated inning today,...

Chris Tillman has turned in two perfect innings for Triple-A Norfolk today, striking out one and throwing 16 of his 22 pitches for strikes. Nolan Reimold is making his third consecutive start at first base. He singled in his first at-bat. As expected, outfielder Felix Pie is reporting to Single-A Frederick today to continue his injury rehab assignment. He'll move up to Double-A Bowie next week. Pie was 1-for-8 with a run scored in two games with the Gulf Coast League Orioles. He served as...
