BALTIMORE— For the seventh time in 10 games, the Orioles were held to just one run. Their 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night guarantees a losing season. They’re 22-31, and have lost the first four of a five-game series to the Rays. In the bottom of the first,...
It was the most successful time in Orioles history. Three seasons, three pennants, 318 regular-season wins, three World Series appearances but only one world championship. That came in 1970, a year after they were stunned by the Miracle Mets in the ’69 Series and a year before they would run into Roberto...
BALTIMORE—In six of their last nine games, the Orioles have been held to a single run. Not coincidentally, the Orioles lost each of them. On Friday night, Tyler Glasnow overpowered the Orioles for five innings, and the Rays’ bullpen shut them down for the rest of the game in a 2-1 loss...
BALTIMORE—In less than three weeks, the Orioles’ starting staff has been remade. Gone are Wade LeBlanc, Tommy Milone and Asher Wojciechowski.

BALTIMORE—It was a night Ellicott City’s Bruce Zimmermann will remember, even if he wishes the outcome had turned out differently.

BALTIMORE—Keegan Akin was overpowering in his five innings, earning his first major league win and leading the Orioles to a series victory over a quality offensive club. Akin was so strong that he struck out nine batters, including six in a row at one point, as the Orioles defeated the Atlanta Braves,...

BALTIMORE—Twenty-four hours after the Orioles’ 14-run outburst against the Atlanta Braves, their slumbering offense returned. Last weekend, the Orioles scored just three runs in 33 innings in a four-game sweep at Yankee Stadium. Six Braves pitchers held the Orioles to four hits in a 5-1 win on Tuesday night. It was the...
