Yanks score seven in 9th in 10-2 win

A close game turned into a last-inning blowout tonight as the Yankees scored seven runs off Jim Johnson and Dennis Sarfate in the 9th and beat the Orioles 10-2 Wednesday. The Yankees sweep the three-game series and have won ten in a row vs. the Orioles for the first time since 1955. Winning pitcher CC Sabathia gave up one run and seven hits over seven innings with nine strikeouts. He improved to 16-7, 3.48. In three starts vs. the Orioles since allowing six runs to the Birds on opening day,...
The Yankees improve to 12-3 on the season vs. the Orioles with 10 straight wins. They have three sweeps of three games vs. the Birds on the year. They are 6-3 vs. the Birds in Baltimore and 6-0 at Yankee Stadium. The last time the Yankees won as many as ten in a row vs. the Orioles was from April 21 to June 29, 1955. Dave Trembley talks with the media after the O's 10-2 loss to the Yankees Berken was solid - O's starter Jason Berken pitched well in getting a no decision. Over 5 1/3, he...
The Orioles have announced a new ticket offer scheduled to start next month on July 12. Now no matter where you're from, O's fans will have the chance to say they reside at 2110 Eutaw Street, at least during Orioles games, by purchasing tickets in the Eutaw Street bleacher section, which will be dedicated to a pair of young O's who hold a lot of the team's future promise in their skillful gloves: Nick Markakis and Adam Jones. The O's have combined Markakis and Jones' uniform numbers...
Not many O's fans will remember Stanton Cameron. But in 1992 he hit 29 homers for the Frederick Keys. His name is worth mentioning in a story about Brandon Waring because Cameron is the only player to ever hit more homers for Frederick than Waring did this year. The 23-year-old Waring, who joined Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, batted .273-26-90 this year with 35 doubles in 128 games for the Keys. (Waring homered and drove in five runs in his first Bowie game Tuesday night). Quite a performance...
In his first year in pro ball, Robbie Widlansky batted .181 for Aberdeen in 48 games in 2007. Now, the 24-year-old lefty hitter is just a few days away from likely claiming the batting title this year in the Carolina League. That's quite an accomplishment for a player that didn't play his first game for the Keys until May 22nd and who right now is not listed among the Carolina League batting leaders because he doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify. Widlansky enters Friday's...
It's finally here. Adam Jones Bobblehead Night. You're excited. You're ready to get here early - or at least you were before the sky opened up into a downpour in downtown Baltimore. And a few of you have even said you know right where you'll put yours. But what goes into a bobblehead night at Camden Yards? - A good bit of time, consideration, photos, and discussion, according to Orioles Director of Public Relations Monica Barlow with input from Manager of Programs and Promotions Stasia...

Before long I'll be heading to the ESPN Zone in Baltimore's inner harbor to check out Nolan Reimold's Q&A session scheduled for noon and spanning an hour over lunchtime to 1:00 p.m. Reimold will take part in an interactive Q&A session with fans led by O's Radio Network broadcaster Joe Angel. Afterward, he'll sign autographs, pose for photos and talk with fans. If you've never been to an Orioles Q&A series event at the ESPN Zone, I'll tell you they're definitely worth your lunch...
Brian Roberts said he probably batted third in college. Tonight, he'll hit third in the Orioles' lineup for the first time ever as a Major Leaguer. "Dave asked me about if I cared, I don't care, it's just a spot in the lineup," Roberts said. "I'm going to try and hit homers," Roberts joked. "No, I'll do what I normally do. The only thing that changes is the first inning." Roberts isn't sure if this will become his spot for the rest of the year or not. "I don't know. It...
When he's sitting down, you don't really notice that Nolan Reimold is a towering 6'4'' and a not-so-lanky 205 pounds. His casual jeans and unassuming gray polo matched his easy demeanor as he worked his way through his first major community appearance at the ESPN Zone this afternoon the way he might work a 3-2 count--on his toes but with a confident eye. With the exception of a few nerves held carefully in check by an even attitude that's carried him through the greater scrutiny and...
RHP Chris Tillman (1-2, 4.24) tonight will make his 8th Major League start of this season, his 4th at home and the 1st of his career vs. Texas. Tillman did not get a decision in his last start, Saturday at home vs. Cleveland. Over five innings and 90 pitches he gave up just one run and six hits. Tillman's first two starts: 6.75 ERA Tillman's last five starts: 3.34 ERA Tillman has recorded three quality starts and has allowed 3ER or less in six of seven starts. The Orioles are 2-5 when...
