Orioles’ choice of Stewart over Mountcastle was a logical one for now
BALTIMORE—After the Orioles added DJ Stewart to their major league roster, many fans wondered why they added Stewart, who had a disappointing minor league season, instead of Ryan Mountcastle, who had a superior offensive year.

Orioles allow 10 runs in third inning, get only one hit in loss to Oakland
BALTIMORE—It was hard to watch. For just the second time this decade, a team’s first 11 batters of an inning reached base on a hit, walk or hit by pitch before making an out. And that team wasn’t the Orioles. The first 11 Oakland Athletics reached base, and 10 of them scored...
