Orioles reset: Camden Yards could be the site of unprecedented home run displays this summer
It will probably be a while before another team allows more home runs to open the season than these Orioles, who’ve given up a major league-record 57 in their first 23 games. It's an astonishing rate befitting of the experience and quality of their pitching staff, albeit one that's being done no...

Orioles' late comeback bids fall short in 4-3 loss to Twins, sealing second home sweep of season

Orioles right-hander Mike Wright was designated for assignment Sunday, ending the organization’s longest-running roster saga the way it always appeared fated to finish.

Orioles reset: In young pitchers, rebuilding club seeing growth exactly where it should

Orioles right-hander Dan Straily carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning and was as good Monday as he was bad in his first two appearances with the team, helping the club secure an 8-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Patriots’ Day at Fenway Park. Straily, who allowed two home runs both in his...

Orioles rookie Richie Martin's grandfather played with Jackie Robinson. On Monday, he wears Robinson's number
On Jackie Robinson's first and only Opening Day in the Negro Leagues, he hit third and played shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs. Batting second in right field that day was Walter "Bancy" Thomas, whose grandson, Orioles shortstop Richie Martin, will be wearing Robinson's No. 42 on Monday on...
