DETROIT – The storyline for the game tonight at Detroit in the series-opener for the Orioles was not just would their offense finally get going. It was would they get a hit or even a baserunner? Their batters who had scored just 15 runs their past seven games, were going down quickly and too many times taking called third strikes. They were getting

It has flown under the radar a bit, but DJ Herz has turned into the Nationals’ best starting pitcher over the last two months. Since returning from a brief stint at Triple-A Rochester around the All-Star break designed to give him some extra rest, the rookie has taken the mound 10 times. And in those 10 games, he now owns a 2.76 ERA and 1.082 WHIP,

DETROIT - The Orioles tonight play game No. 148 and for the first time in 2024, they will play the Tigers. The clubs open a three-game series at Comerica Park. The teams will meet six times in the next nine games, playing back-to-back weekends in Detroit and Baltimore. While the O's have not played well for most of the last couple of months really,

CJ Abrams won’t get a chance tonight to see if he can continue his recent power surge at the plate. The Nationals shortstop was scratched from the lineup after reporting a sore left shoulder, the result of a diving play during Thursday night’s 6-3 loss to the Marlins. Abrams made a nice play diving to his left to snag Connor Norby’s sharp grounder

DETROIT - As he began his pregame media session in the visitor's dugout ahead of tonight's series-opening game in Detroit, O's manager Brandon Hyde was asked to provide an update on his various injured list players. “Is this a two-hour program?" Hyde quipped. Then he used the next few minutes to provide numerous updates on this list of players. Jor

DETROIT - Looking for wins and now two games back in the American League East race, the Orioles play at Comerica Park tonight. They open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers, Major League Baseball's winningest club since Aug. 11. The O's lineup tonight shows Gunnar Henderson leading off, Cedric Mullins batting third and Adley Rutschman hi

Thursday was not a good night for the Nationals, who did so many things wrong during the course of a 6-3 loss to the Marlins that really should have been a win based on the way the game began and based on the way Mitchell Parker pitched. But it’s a new day, so they’ll try to bounce back tonight and win game two of the four-game series, with another

It’s too late for Keibert Ruiz’s season totals to become respectable. The Nationals catcher dug himself into such a deep hole in April and May, he simply wasn’t going to be able to climb all the way back and finish with offensive numbers that look decent on the back of his baseball card. But anyone who has watched Ruiz over the entirety of the seas

The Orioles will wrap up their next-to-last road trip of the season this weekend when they play three games in Detroit at Comerica Park. The Orioles have not played the Tigers all year and now they will see them in back-to-back weekends and in six of their next nine games. While the Orioles have struggled lately going 1-2 at Boston to start this tr

The Orioles had an off-day in Detroit yesterday because Passaic, New Jersey was booked. OK, let’s get serious. The penultimate road trip of the season is close to a wrap – I’ll be on the next one - and the Orioles are two games behind the Yankees. They have three against the Tigers beginning tonight and three more next weekend at Camden Yards after
