Orioles lose game, series, and momentum with 5-1 defeat against the A’s

Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images

Baltimore’s offense fell flat in another disappointing defeat.

The Orioles had a golden opportunity to keep building momentum today. Baltimore needed a victory against the last-place Athletics to win their eighth game in nine tries and their third consecutive series. Instead, the O’s will fly back east after losing two out of three against one of the worst teams in baseball.

Baltimore fell behind early for the second straight game, but it failed to...

Orioles 'likely' to get Jordan Westburg back by Tuesday

The Orioles have had a rough start to the season to say the least, but they’ve finally begun to turn things around with seven wins in their last eight games.

The Orioles look to win another series with Tomoyuki Sugano on the mound.

The Orioles will look to secure another series victory this afternoon in Sacramento. The Birds let a winnable game slip away on Friday before bouncing back with a 7-4 win last night. Baltimore must take advantage of matchups against losing teams if it hopes to shed the same label, so today feels like a must-win game for the 26-37 Orioles.

Tomoyuki Sugano (5-3, 3.04 ERA) will start for...

Sunday Bird Droppings: The Orioles got a bounce-back win they’ve lacked this year

Now, they’ve got a chance to take a series win.

Hello, friends.

If you went to bed before the end of last night’s Orioles game, you missed seeing something that we haven’t seen from the team very much this year. They bounced back. After Friday’s tough loss, the O’s then were put in an early hole thanks to some rough pitching by Charlie Morton (not helped by some rough defense behind him). Many times this season, a tough loss sent them...

Orioles minor league recap 6/8: Trevor Rogers has another strong start

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images

Three walk-off losses! And one win by the Baysox.

The Tides and Bats were scheduled for a doubleheader today, but game two got rained out and will be played tomorrow instead. The game that was played went just seven innings, as is the rule for minor league doubleheaders.

Trevor Rogers started for the Tides and pitched six shutout innings, then lost the game by allowing four two-out singles in the bottom of...

Orioles ride bullpen, home runs to comeback 7-4 win over A’s

Ramón Laureano, Gunnar Henderson, and Colton Cowser all had big nights at the plate while the bullpen picked up the slack for Charlie Morton’s poor start.

An outstanding performance from the Orioles bullpen and a nice showing from the entire lineup got the Birds back into the win column on Saturday night in Sacramento.

If you watched the first inning of this game and then went to bed, you are likely shocked by the result. That first frame had disaster...

Charlie Morton looks to stay hot and get the Orioles back to winning.

Where one win streak ends another can begin. The Orioles dropped the opener to this series on Friday, but this still feels like games that they should be winning. Let’s hope that happens tonight in Sacramento.

Charlie Morton is back on the bump for the Birds. The 41-year-old has won two consecutive starts, allowing two earned runs over 12.2 innings. It’s just the latest in what has been a...

The Baysox only had two hits in the entire game, but this was...

Saturday Bird Droppings: The win streak is no more

Mountcastle to miss time, Baker impressing, and Blewett is back

Good Morning Birdland,

Well, they say all good things must come to an end. That includes the Orioles six-game winning streak. They lost 5-4 to the Athletics on Friday night, a frustrating game that saw them cough up two different leads and struggle with runners on base.

Dean Kremer did not have his finest outing, although most of his struggles were confined to the third inning, when he gave up a four...

Dean Kremer struggles in Sacramento and the O’s fail at situational hitting in a 5-4 loss to the Athletics

It wasn’t a pretty homecoming for Dean Kremer. | D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images

The Orioles starter allowed five runs for the first time since April and the hitters went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

This was my theory entering tonight: Earlier this week, Adley Rutschman went 7-for-13 with two home runs in his hometown ballpark of Seattle, so by that logic, Dean Kremer, who grew up less than an hour away from Sacramento, in Stockton, CA, would look like an ace and Dylan Carlson,...

Friday night Orioles game thread: at Sacramento, 10:05 ET

The Orioles play the first series in franchise history in Sacramento as they pay a visit to the temporary home of the A’s.

How weird. It’s not often that the Orioles play in a Triple-A stadium, but here we are. And by here, I mean Sacramento, California, at Sutter Health Park, the usual home of the Sacramento River Cats, the Athletics’ former Triple-A affiliate. The A’s are spending the next three seasons in California’s capital as they await the...

Also, reliever Scott Blewett is back, for some reason.

One more Orioles outfielder has made his way back from the injured list this week. On Friday afternoon, the O’s activated Ramón Laureano from the IL, where he’d been placed on May 24 due to a left ankle sprain. Laureano is back after just a couple of games rehabbing with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides. In a corresponding move, the O’s designated outfielder Jordyn Adams for assignment.

It’s not often that the Orioles play in a ballpark and city for the first time in franchise history, but they’ll have that honor this weekend when they take on the No City Athletics in Sacramento. The A’s are spending the next three seasons at Sutter Health Park in California’s...

Podcast: The Orioles pick themselves off of the mat

It’s now been a week since the last time the Orioles lost a game.

What a difference a week makes. This time last Friday, the Orioles were on pace for a 56-win season as they continually lost games for all kinds of reasons on different days. The idea of any kind of prolonged winning streak seemed impossible to achieve for this team. Then, seemingly out of nowhere: Six straight wins, with the chance to extend that against a slumping...
