David Hernandez got off to a rough start giving up two first inning home runs. The first was a two-run bomb to Dustin Pedroia and the second was a solo to Kevin Youkilis. Hernandez seemed to battle his control in the first inning. However, he seemed to regroup in the second before giving up another solo home run to Alex Gonzalez. Chris Lambert, just recalled Tuesday, has entered the game with the O's down 5-0. Hernandez threw 83 pitches. His final line: IP 2.2, 4 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 4...

Chris Lambert was greeted with a three-run home run by J.D. Drew increasing Boston's lead to 8-0. Clay Buchholz is still stifling the O's holding them to two hits and no runs. In addition, Buchholz has walked only one Oriole all night. The Birds, on the other hand, have used five pitchers. David Hernandez, Lambert, Brian Bass, Alberto Castillo and Chris Ray have all seen action against Boston. The pitchers have allowed five walks through six innings and continue to trail Boston 9-0.

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Orioles 10-0 on the strength of six home runs and a strong start by Clay Buchholz. Buchholz only allowed three hits to the Orioles batters and walked one. Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia hit two of Boston's six home runs in the game.

Xavier Avery and L.J. Hoes were drafted out of high school by the Orioles last year. They both then went on to play solid ball in the Gulf Coast League last summer. This season, the O's brass decided to see how the pair would handle the full-season with the Delmarva Shorebirds in low Class-A ball. At just 19, the pair played to rave reviews in the South Atlantic League. Neither hit .300, nor did the O's expect them to. They just made solid, steady progress which should lead to them...

Don Werner is in his seventh season in the Orioles' organization and in his third year as the O's minor league catching instructor. Werner oversees the instructing of catchers at all levels of the organization. He played seven seasons in the Majors and on June 16, 1978 caught a Tom Seaver no-hitter. Werner recently answered several questions about top catching prospect Caleb Joseph and some of the other catchers on the O's farm. What are your impressions of Caleb Joseph? "He's been...

Each season, OriolesREACH hosts thousands of underprivileged youth as part of the Gameday Experience Program. Groups of kids who likely wouldn't get to take in a game at Camden Yards on their own are brought to the ballpark and treated to a game of O's baseball and some fun giveaways--and the best part is that these kids are able to come here and participate thanks to a group of the O's themselves. Players like Adam Jones, Melvin Mora, Danys Baez, and Gregg Zaun sponsor the program...

They weren't drafted by the Orioles or acquired in a trade from another team. They weren't signed as free agents. They don't wear uniforms or play second base or bat leadoff or cleanup. They don't occupy a spot on the 25-man. In fact, they aren't men at all. But they are connected with the Orioles and they do often have an impact on the city of Baltimore. "They" are the Orioles wives, the women alongside the players we recognize on the field, who frequently fill their hours...

The Orioles take on the Boston Red Sox tonight at 7:05 to try to avenge yesterday's 10-0 loss and split the short two-game series. Jason Berken takes the hill tonight for the Orioles, looking to cool down the Red Sox bats and earn his fifth win of the year. His counterpart, 13-year veteran Paul Byrd, will look to earn his second win. The Red Sox look to follow up on their six-homerun performance yesterday to stay a game-and-a-half up on Texas for the wild card lead. Jason Berken has looked...

During this Orioles-Red Sox series, OriolesREACH is hosting groups of underprivileged kids at Camden Yards as part of the Gameday Experience Program. On top of that, OriolesREACH, the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation and the Taylor Hooton Foundation hosted groups of local young athletes at Oriole Park today for the 2009 National Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) Campaign. From 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today, players from the 13-15 year old division of the Baltimore RBI League...

The Orioles got two runners on with two outs in the 1st, but Melvin Mora flew out to center to end the threat. They could have used those two runs. After two walks by Jason Berken in the bottom half of the 1st, David Ortiz fought off a 3-2 pitch and it rolled down the third-base line for a hit. Jason Bay then did what Mora couldn't do with two outs, drive in two of the runners on base. The Orioles had another shot to take the lead in the 2nd, but couldn't capitalize once again. After...
