Zach Eflin will pitch in front of much larger crowds and with a lot more at stake. He won't always watch his battery mate bleed at home plate and refuse to leave. Today’s debut with the Orioles unfolded in the mid-afternoon opener of a doubleheader, a makeup from the May 14 rainout. Empty seats were spread at every level throughout the ballpark. Th

A straight doubleheader is coming up today at Oriole Park as the Orioles (62-43) host Toronto (49-56) to begin a four-game series. The Orioles beat San Diego 8-6 on Sunday to avoid being swept three in a row as they snapped San Diego's seven-game win streak. Even with that win the Orioles are 1-4 their past five series. They have lost five of seven

ST. LOUIS – Anyone who has followed the Nationals since 2021 understands the stress that accompanies the trade deadline for a team more interested in dealing major leaguers than acquiring them. Nothing will ever top the stress of July 2021, when Max Scherzer, Trea Turner and six other veterans were shipped off in less than 36 hours, kickstarting th

When it comes to O’s infielder Connor Norby, ranked as the club’s No. 5 prospect by MLBPipeline.com and No. 7 via Baseball America, there are differing opinions on his defense. Baseball America provides Norby a slightly below average 45 grade on the 20-80 scouting scale for his fielding and a 40 for arm. MLBPipeline goes 50 and 50 for both - essent

The increasingly unusual nature of baseball’s trade deadline, where teams can behave like buyers and sellers depending on which direction the wind blows, sets up the Orioles to do what used to be unthinkable. Shaking up a first-place roster like it’s a snow globe. The club will undergo changes by Tuesday evening, but just how drastic is the mystery

That hit proved far more elusive in the daylight than it did the previous two evenings. An

The crowd erupted today in the top of the first inning when Padres leadoff hitter Luis Arraez lifted a popup that Gunnar Henderson ran down in foul territory. No collision or dropped ball. Fans hadn’t forgotten yesterday’s blunder. Henderson ranged past second base in the second inning and made a sprawling stop and throw to retire David Peralta. Th

ST. LOUIS – As Jesse Winker was speaking to New York media members at Citi Field, Alex Call was unpacking his bags at Busch Stadium, taking over the locker Winker occupied only 12 hours earlier. And next door in the manager’s office, Davey Martinez was filling out a lineup card with a new No. 3 hitter and a new regular designated hitter. At least f
