The Orioles third-round draft pick, right-hander Dan Klein, picked up a save in the College World Series on Monday night. He pitched a shutout ninth inning as his UCLA squad beat TCU, 6-3. It was his tenth save of the season as UCLA improved to 2-0 in the series. Klein, showing a 93-MPH fastball, along with a change and curve, gave up a one-out single but nothing else in closing out the win. The Orioles will not be talking contract with Klein or the other two players they drafted from UCLA...

This Potomac Nationals third baseman wears #11, and his dad is a General in the United States Air Force, but 25-year-old Robby Jacobsen is making a name for himself in Woodbridge with his outstanding play. Jacobsen is truly a homegrown talent. The 6'1", 205-pounder was drafted by the Nats in 2006 and went to school, played baseball and is now an offseason volunteer coach at George Mason University. Robby's father, Kevin J. Jacobsen, is a general in the United States Air Force and in...

Brad Bergesen has completed four innings tonight at Triple-A Norfolk, allowing one run and three hits, with no walks and two strikeouts. Bergesen retired the first eight Lehigh Valley batters before surrendering three straight singles (with two stolen bases mixed in). Bergesen has thrown 63 pitches, 46 for strikes. He threw 65 in 2 2/3 innings in his last start. Norfolk leads, 4-1. Josh Bell is 2-for-2 with two doubles and an RBI. Rhyne Hughes added a two-run double, and Nolan Reimold is...

Here are a couple of roster moves from the Orioles farm system today: *RHP Zach Clark goes from Bowie to Norfolk. *LHP Chris George goes from Norfolk to Bowie. *SS Pedro Florimon joins Aberdeen on an injury-rehab assignment.

The 23-year-old Florimon has struggled this year at Bowie in his first full season at the...

The schedule has teased the 40th anniversary celebration of the 1970 World Series Championship team for months, but the Orioles announced the details of that celebration today, letting you know just what you have to look forward to. The celebration will take place this Saturday, June 26, prior to and during the O's 4:05 p.m. game against the neighboring Washington Nationals.

On another Monday off day for the O's, we take a closer look at another piece of the Yard before the Birds finish up their nine-game homestand and fly north to Boston for the weekend. This week, you'll see a familiar image, but with the text that would have given the picture's identity away removed and/or blurred out of the photo. But as usual, take a look at the photo below and let me know what the item is and where it's located in or around Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Don't forget...

Felix Pie went 0-for-4 today in his first injury rehab game with the Gulf Coast League Orioles. He was removed for a pinch-hitter - hopefully because he was only slated to receive four at-bats. Update: I received a text message from a team official stating that Pie is fine and received the desired amount of at-bats. Pie grounded to second, third and short, and reached on an error. He left for a pinch-hitter with two outs and a runner on second base in the bottom of the ninth inning. First...

Hope you all survived the heat at Nationals Park this weekend. I'm sporting a new bright red shade that I hope will fade before I have to attend a wedding this weekend. Anyway, on to baseball. Here is this week's challenge photo. Can you identify where it is? Some additional bonus point options for this week. Tell me something about the subject in the picture. And/or take your picture at this spot and post it to our MASN Facebook page. Reminder Wednesday marks the last day for...

On August 9th, Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman will host a star-studded event at Nationals Park to benefit the ziMS Foundation. The event will feature special performances by world renowned magician David Blaine and recording artists Amos Lee and Mutlu. During the inaugural Zims Foundation event in Washington, Nationals Park will be transformed into an intimate concert hall with a special stage on the outside concourse of the Presidents Club. Dress is cocktail attire and the doors...

Brad Bergesen will work on short rest tonight when he takes the mound for Triple-A Norfolk's game against Lehigh Valley. Bergesen started Thursday night against Toledo, but lasted only 2 2/3 innings. He was removed after 65 pitches and three runs, allowing him to come back tonight. The Orioles need a starter Saturday night against the Nationals, so Bergesen is lined up to make his return to Camden Yards. But it won't happen if he's shelled tonight. Trust me, you don't want to be shelled...
