On Saturday, Buck Showalter's resurgent Orioles will face the Tampa Bay Rays with the first pitch scheduled for 4:10 p.m. Southpaw Brian Matusz is scheduled to take the mound for the Orioles. The game will be televised by Fox as part of Major League Baseball's national broadcast package with Fox Sports. Viewers should tune in to their local Fox affiliate to watch the Orioles game, as the Fox agreement with Major League Baseball preempts regional sports networks from covering the...

The complete game has almost disappeared in Major League Baseball. Where Jim Palmer once had 25 complete games all by himself, in 1975, last night's two-hitter for Brad Bergesen was just the O's second route-going effort all year and the first to go nine innings. Kevin Millwood was credited with an eight-inning complete game on April 21 in a losing effort at Seattle. Bergesen needed just 102 pitches to get his CG and he got there by getting quick outs throughout the night. He needed just...

The Orioles today announced that they have extended working agreements with their minor league affiliates in Norfolk, Bowie and Frederick through the 2014 season. The Triple-A Norfolk Tides are in their fourth season as an Orioles affiliate, and both the Double-A Bowie Baysox and Single-A Frederick Keys have been affiliated with Baltimore since their inaugural seasons in 1993 and 1989, respectively. "We are very pleased to continue our working agreements with the Norfolk, Bowie and Frederick...

Norfolk has been the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate for the past four seasons. Double-A Bowie and Single-A Frederick have been with the Orioles since 1993 and 1989, respectively.

Jeremy Guthrie will kick off the community appearances next week by visiting the Official Orioles Team Store in the York Galleria Mall on Tuesday, August 17. Guthrie will meet with fans and sign autographs from noon to 1:00 p.m., so don't miss your chance to meet the O's...

The deal is not completely done, but the Orioles are closing in on an agreement with their third-round draft pick, UCLA pitcher Dan Klein. The 22-year-old Klein was a redshirt sophomore for the Bruins, who made the College World Series this year. He was the 85th overall selection in the draft. This season for the Bruins, Klein was 6-1, 1.90 and ten saves. Over 52 innings he gave up 39 hits with 11 walks, 55 strikeouts and a .204 batting average against. The Orioles have said they would...

The Orioles don't return home to Baltimore until Monday, August 16, but O's fans can head to Camden Yards for a good cause even earlier than that. On Saturday, August 14 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., OriolesREACH and the American Red Cross will host an American Red Cross Blood Drive at Oriole Park. If you can make it out to donate blood and benefit a good cause, you'll also have the chance to meet former Orioles Rick Dempsey and Boog Powell while you're at the Yard. But that's not...

Check out this video of the Syracuse Chiefs visiting the Golisano Children's Hospital on August 9th. Andrew Kown, Josh Wilkie, Pete Orr, Chase Lambin, Jeff Mandel, Adam Carr and Seth Bynum were among the players who took time away from their busy schedules to lift the spirits of a few Syracuse area children coping with medical problems. Bynum even plays the piano in the clip. "This is a great opportunity for our players to make a positive impact on the community," said Chiefs General...

Former Ravens cornerback Frank Walker is headed to Miami? I bet the receivers get there ahead of him. If you woke up feeling a little different, it's probably because the Orioles are 40-74 and the Pirates are 39-74. That's what happens when one team goes 8-2 in its last 10 games, and the other goes 3-7. Interesting observation from West Coast O's Fan: Orioles starters have been victimized by only one bad inning in the last nine games. Jake Arrieta allowed five runs in the fourth inning...
