An Associated Press analysis found that this year's All-Star starting lineups could be the youngest in major league history.

Albert Pujols deposited two 89 mph Dylan Bundy fastballs into the left-field seats to help the Los Angeles Angels to a 7-2 win over the Orioles.

Chris Tillman gave up five runs and allowed eight of the 11 batters he faced reach base Thursday night in Anaheim.

The Orioles find themselves in an 8-0 hole by the second inning, are no-hit until the sixth and lose to the Los Angeles Angels, 12-3.

Dylan Bundy has allowed 15 runs in his past two games after opening the season with a 1.42 ERA in his first five starts.

Dylan Bundy was great in his first five starts this season, but not so much in his past two.

Angels first baseman Albert Pujols is two hits short of becoming the fourth player in major league history to record 3,000 hits and 600 homers.

Chris Tillman continues to struggle, but he hopes to turn a corner before season's end.

Ubaldo Jimenez has a penchant for giving up big innings. It's submarined his 2016 season.

The traded Tommy Hunter hadn't allowed a hit in 12 combined at-bats against Trout and Pujols.

The Orioles (56-54) have dropped three games behind the Angels (59-51) for the second American League wild card and remain five games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. The Orioles head to Seattle for the last leg of their three-city West Coast swing with a 3-3 record on this trip.

Keep in mind Buck Showalter once ordered an intentional walk to Barry Bonds with the bases loaded, so the decision on Sunday to walk Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to load the bases with two outs in the 11th inning shouldn't have shocked anyone. That doesn't mean I agree with it.

The Orioles were hoping they were getting to Anaheim at just the right time, since the Angels entered the series in a 3-10 slump. Of course, the trouble with slumping teams is that they have to break out at some point.

Although they were playing 3,000 miles away from home and against an American League West opponent, the Orioles had a chance to make some serious headway in their playoff hunt beginning Friday.

Orioles reliever Darren O'Day didn't pitch in Tuesday's All Star Game, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an on-field moment worth crowing about. "I robbed a home run at the wall in batting practice," said O'Day, who said he shagged a would-be homer by Los Angeles Angels outfielder Albert Pujols. "That was one of my goals."

Mike Wright was nothing short of brilliant, mixing in a 97-mph fastball, with a low-90s sinker, and a sharp slider and curve to help the Orioles (16-19) avoid a sweep in a three-game series against the Angels (19-18).

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones and shortstop J.J. Hardy have won Gold Glove Awards at their respective positions in each of the past two seasons. Right fielder Nick Markakis won the award in 2011.

The Angels won Thursday's heart-pounder, 1-0, in 13 innings, thanks to Albert Pujols' RBI single against Ryan Webb.

Rookie right-hander Kevin Gausman's bid for perfection ended in the fifth inning, but he still was pretty good Wednesday night in the Orioles' 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Camden Yards.

A nail-biter against the Los Angeles Angels stretched into extra innings before the Orioles prevailed with a 7-6 victory in the 12th on a walk-off homer by third baseman Manny Machado.

The Orioles bullpen couldn't hold the lead handed to it by right-hander Chris Tillman, though, as the Angels rallied for two runs in the eighth for their major league-leading 31st comeback win.

On Tuesday night, Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez shut down the highest scoring lineup in the major leagues for seven innings and fell one out short of his third straight eight-inning outing in a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels in front of an announced 35,353.

Orioles designated hitter Nelson Cruz has passed David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox as the top All-Star Game vote-getter at his position in the American League, according to results released Monday by Major League Baseball.

The Orioles' Matt Wieters is leading all catchers in All-Star voting despite being hurt.

Chris Davis became the first Oriole to hit three home runs on the road since Cal Ripken Jr. in 1996

MINNEAPOLIS -- In Manny Machado¿s second game back from offseason left knee surgery on Friday night, he recorded his first hit, scored his first run and made his first diving play at third base in the Orioles¿ 3-0 win over the Twins.

The Orioles were victimized by three three-run home runs against the Blue Jays, who the Ravens might draft in the first round, and more in the Coffee Companion

Sports Illustrated's "Baseball's Greatest" book lists Cal Ripken Jr's as the second greatest all-time shortstop, while Brooks Robinson is listed as the fifth-best third basemen in history.

The American League Most Valuable Player award will be announced tonight at 6 p.m. on MLB Network, and one person in the Orioles organization knows two of the finalists -- Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Orioles first baseman Chris Davis -- very well.

Leading off the second inning, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis sent Yankees starter Hideki Kuroda's 2-1 pitch into the left field seats for his major league-leading 31st home run this season.

The Baltimore Orioles are stuck with a struggling Pedro Strop for now.

Leading 4-2 in the seventh, Orioles reliever Pedro Strop allowed a three-run triple to Angels No. 9 hitter Erick Aybar that sparked a six-run inning and quickly changed the momentum of the game.

Twice in two nights, Orioles closer Jim Johnson faced off against one of the most intimidating lineups in the major leagues, and twice in two nights, Johnson notched the save.

One night after Camden Yards was transformed into a slipping, sliding mud bowl by heavy rainstorms, the Orioles played one of their crispest games of the season on a pleasant baseball Tuesday evening in Baltimore.

Consecutive infield singles from Danny Valencia, Steve Pearce and Ryan Flaherty with two outs set up right fielder Nick Markakis¿ two-run single to right-center field.

But the timing was perfect for the Orioles, who scored two runs through monsoon-like rain in the bottom of the sixth, then held on following a two-hour, 14-minute rain delay for a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels that was completed just 10 minutes before midnight.

Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez, who has not pitched since developing a deep blister on his right thumb May 3 in Anaheim, is getting closer to appearing in a big league game.

The Baltimore sports scene is blessed with a bunch of talented bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. This week, we exchanged emails with Matt Taylor, who blogs about the Orioles for Roar From 34.

What was it...two weeks ago that we were all angst-ridden about Chris Tillman and his inability to pitch efficiently enough to get into the seventh and eighth innings?

Chris Tillman's homecoming was a memorable one as he turned in one of his most dominating starts of his big league career, allowing just three hits over eight scoreless innings to lead the Orioles to a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of this four-game series.

In honor of the Roman Catholic Church naming Francis I its new pope, Baseball historian/statistician Bill Arnold put together a list of all-time, home-run leaders under each of the 11 popes since Major League Baseball was officially formed.

Stephen Strasburg surrendered three hits over two innings -- including a single and home run to the first two batters he faced -- in his first action since Sept. 7.

What I want from you is one name -- the one player you think the Orioles will end up with when all of the offseason dust settles. I can¿t imagine they land a Josh Hamilton or Zack Greinke, but if you disagree, then go ahead and make that your choice.

Big night by Giants' third baseman Sandoval proves you don't have to be sleek and quick to play major league baseball

The TBS team of Ernie Johnson, Cal Ripken and John Smoltz was outstanding. Johnson, the play by play guy, sets a table as well as anyone this side of Al Michaels. And he was superb all series long at drawing the best out of Ripken and Smoltz, who provided original and insightful analysis.
