BOSTON—In the season’s first 16 games, perhaps the Orioles can take some satisfaction in having the same record as the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Both teams are 6-10. However, the Red Sox have a much larger payroll and a panoply of stars. One is left-hander David Price. Price ran...
BOSTON—In the first 15 games of this Orioles season, their starters have pitched fewer innings than their relievers. Andrew Cashner threw five-plus innings in their 9-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, and his three runs give the starters an ERA of 5.35 in 65 2/3 innings Jimmy Yacabonis, Tanner...
BOSTON—Chris Davis’ streak is a thing of the past. By the time, the Orioles’ 9-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday was over, Davis was officially hot, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a single and four RBIs. Entering the game, Davis was 0-for-33 in 2019 and held the major league...

BOSTON—Not terribly long ago, the Orioles were feeling pleased with themselves. They’d won the last two games at Yankee Stadium and their first two in Toronto, and had a 4-1 record. Now, they’ve lost eight of nine, and have a 5-9 record. Starter David Hess gave up three runs in 5 2/3...

BOWIE, Md.—Hunter Harvey is scheduled for his second start on Friday in what he hopes will be his first complete professional season. Harvey, the Orioles’ No. 1 draft choice in 2013, has never thrown as many as 90 innings in a season. He had a difficult first start against Harrisburg last Friday,...
BALTIMORE—Oriole pitchers are giving up home runs at an alarming rate. After surrendering five to the Oakland Athletics, they’ve given up 32 in just 12 games. They’ve allowed at least one in each game. According to STATS, that ties a franchise record. In 1994, the Orioles allowed home runs in their first...
BALTIMORE—Manager Brandon Hyde was hoping starter John Means could give the Orioles four or five innings on Tuesday. Instead, he got three, and the Orioles lost to the Oakland Athletics, 13-2. Means allowed the first Oakland run on three infield singles, and after Josh Phegley reached on an error by third baseman...
BALTIMORE—The Orioles placed Alex Cob on the 10-day injured list for the second time this season on Tuesday. The 31-year-old right-hander, who began the season on the injured list because of a sore right groin, was put back on the list because of a lumbar strain — five days after pitching in...
