The Orioles improved to 10-24 with Wednesday's 5-2 win over Seattle. The O's are the last team in the Majors to get to 10 victories. The O's went 4 for 10 with runners in scoring position and are batting .394 with RISP in their ten wins and .123 with RISP in the 24 losses. O's record when scoring four or more: 8-4 O's record when scoring less than four: 2-20 It was the Orioles first win this year vs. the Mariners and they are now 1-4 in the season series. Runs scored in 2010 vs....

Here are more comments from the O's clubhouse after tonight's 5-2 win over the Mariners. Here are some quotes from winning pitcher Brad Bergesen and Luke Scott, who had a double and homer. Bergesen on his good outing: "Tonight felt good, all the pitches felt comfortable and the defense played great behind me. As a starting pitcher you always want to stay in the game but it was the right call to bring the bullpen in. The sinker is my best pitch and I felt comfortable throwing it...

Ty Wigginton's right wrist is sore and he had it wrapped after tonight's game, but he said he feels certain he can play on Thursday afternoon vs. Seattle. "It got me on the wrist, little bit of swelling. I should be good to go tomorrow. "It hurt worse than getting hit by pitches but it's better now and I should be ready to go. There's a bruise, but we'll be good to go." Wigginton was sliding into second trying to break up a double play in the second inning when a throw from...

One of the first things I noticed upon arriving at the ballpark today was the Orioles taking early batting practice. Look for that trend to continue. "We're probably going to continue having early hitting every day until we get everybody where they should be," manager Dave Trembley said. "It seemed like guys were a little more relaxed tonight. (Nolan) Reimold got sent out, so that takes some of it off some of the other guys who I think have been scuffling." Dave Trembley talks with the...

Tonight's attendance: 11,448. Adam Jones has three hits and an RBI. Luke Scott has homered and doubled. Some guys really want to stay up here. Plate umpire Joe West, on a crusade to speed up the games, grew agitated with Orioles third baseman Miguel Tejada in the sixth inning. Tejada had the nerve to walk to the mound between outs so he could dig the mud out of his spikes and say a few words to Brad Bergesen. West yelled at Tejada, who returned to third base, and stared him down after the...

On the day that Nolan Reimold was sent to the minor leagues, Luke Scott and Adam Jones both have two hits. I'm just sayin'. This is my career high for shortest blog entry. Update: Jones' RBI single to right in the sixth is his third hit tonight, matching his season high. It's his fourth, three-hit game of 2010 and the last was April 30 vs. Boston. May no longer be my shortest post.

Brad Bergesen hasn't recorded a strikeout for the second consecutive start, and it means absolutely nothing. Just thought I'd mention it. Bergesen is shutting out the Mariners on three hits over five innings, giving him 11 2/3 scoreless innings over his last two games. He's walked two and struck out none - the same as his last start. Bergesen escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the fourth and retired the Mariners in order in the fifth. He's thrown 61 pitches. SPOILER ALERT: Still no...

Corey Patterson is the catalyst of this offense. Somebody had to say it. Patterson grounded a single into right field leading off the third inning, took second on Adam Jones' single to left and scored on Miguel Tejada's one-out double. Jones also motored home. Orioles 2, Seattle 0. Matt Wieters singled with two outs, but Seattle center fielder Ryan Langerhans threw out Tejada at the plate. Update: Luke Scott knocked Ryan Rowland-Smith out of the game with a home run leading off the...

Paco Figueroa is joining the Norfolk Tides to fill Corey Patterson's roster spot at Triple-A. Figueroa, a ninth-round O's pick from 2005, will be playing at that level for the first time. He was batting .306-1-10 in 28 games at Double-A Bowie with a .757 OPS where the 27-year-old righty hitter had played second and third base and left and right field. After hitting .361 in April, Figueroa's bat had cooled this month as he was 7 for 36. Once Nolan Reimold reports to Norfolk, the Tides...

Ty Wigginton broke up a double play in the second inning. Let's hope that's all he broke. Wigginton was nailed in the right hand by a throw from Mariners shortstop Josh Wilson while sliding into second base. He immediately jumped to his feet and ran into the dugout with his arm hanging at his side. He didn't retreat to the clubhouse or the trainers room. He's still in the dugout, showing the hand to head athletic trainer Richie Bancells. That's one tough guy. Instant update: ...
