With 16 games played, the Orioles’ 2021 season is about 10 percent complete. That means, if you extrapolate, Trey Mancini’s three home runs and 11 runs batted in would be 30 homers and 110 RBIs, numbers that might be expected of him. On the other hand, his 19 strikeouts extrapolate into 190,...
The most surprising Oriole news this weekend wasn’t that the team won its second series of the season after losing six of seven at home. Nor was it that they’re 6-3 on the road and that they were a run away from a .500 record after 16 games. No, it was that...
Nate Lowe’s 10th-inning bases-loaded single gave the Texas Rangers a 1-0 victory over the Orioles on Sunday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. In the bottom of the 10th, Charlie Culberson, the Rangers’ automatic runner at second, was thrown out when Eli White’s bunt was fielded by Travis Lakins, the Orioles’...
Orioles starter Jorge López entered Friday night’s game against the Texas Rangers with an 11.42 ERA in his first two starts. López pitched five strong innings and was backed by home runs from DJ Stewart and Rio Ruiz in the Orioles’ 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers in Baltimore’s first game at...
Manager Brandon Hyde hopes that outfielder Austin Hays, who has been on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right hamstring since April 5th, can return to the team on Sunday in its final game of the three-game weekend series in Texas or on Tuesday in Miami. Hyde said that Hays...
The Orioles ended the first two weeks of the season with a 5-8 record. Few conclusions can be drawn from less than 10 percent of the 162-game season. A year ago, the Orioles ran off to a 12-8 start. That was vastly different. It was one-third through a 60-game season, and there...
BALTIMORE—The first Orioles homestand of the season is over. It’s one they’d like to forget. They lost six of seven games, including both ends of a doubleheader to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. They scored just three runs in the two games, wasting solid starting pitching from Matt Harvey in Game 1...
BALTIMORE—The Orioles had a fast start in the first inning of the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Mariners, but their offense sputtered after that. Trey Mancini hit a two-run home run in the first, and the Orioles did nothing offensively after that. Reliever Tanner Scott gave up two runs in...
BALTIMORE—It’s still early enough in the season that Ryan Mountcastle saw his batting average rise significantly after going 3-for-6 in Tuesday’s doubleheader. Entering the first game of the Orioles’ doubleheader against Seattle, Mountcastle was batting .184. He’s now he’s at .227. Mountcastle, who had hit fourth in eight of the first nine...
BALTIMORE—The Orioles’ game against the Seattle Mariners was postponed on Wednesday. It’s the second rainout for the teams in three days. Monday’s game was rained out and made up as part of a doubleheader on Tuesday. The Orioles lost Game 1, 4-3, in eight innings (seven innings are played in doubleheaders) after...
