John Means is the first homegrown Orioles starter to make the All-Star team since Mike Mussina and the club's only representative July 9 in Cleveland.

Former Orioles pitcher and 2019 Hall of Fame inductee Mike Mussina threw out the first pitch against the Cleveland Indians.

The Orioles are 20-45, tied for the majors' worst record. Are enough of those losses close that switching half to wins would put them "right in the mix"?

The Orioles opened their three-game series on a very positive note Friday, but didn't really show up in the final two games of their series against the Giants

The $300 million infielder was greeted with loud boos and chants of “Over-rated!” on Monday in his first visit to New York since free agency.

It wasn't the usual shower of home runs, but the outcome remained the same. The Yankees ran their winning streak at Oriole Park to 12 with a 6-5 victory.

The Orioles have allowed at least five home runs seven times, an AL record, and have done so in 49 games.

Tuesday night’s Orioles-Yankees game was postponed, the second straight meeting between the American League East foes called off because of weather.

Orioles left-hander John Means continued his upstart beginning to his rookie campaign with seven innings of one-run ball in Monday night’s 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards.

With Pedro Severino out of minor league options, the Washington Nationals had to pass him through waivers once they decided he wasn’t going to make their roster this spring. The Orioles claimed him, and a little more than a month into the season, both they and Severino are better for it.

A start such as the one right-hander Dylan Bundy delivered in the Orioles’ 3-0 victory over the Rays was a long time coming. The 26-year-old right-hander hadn’t completed seven innings since July 29 of last season

Rio Ruiz faced a four-man outfield in the Orioles' previous series against the Tampa Bay Rays, and with the Rays visiting Camden Yards for a series this weekend, it’s possible he’ll see it again. Ruiz emphasized the key to succeeding against such a shift is to avoid changing his approach.

Orioles slugger Chris Davis is a lot like the rebuilding team itself — largely dismissed, more-than-occasionally mocked and with nothing to do but simply go out every night and try and win in the face of it all.

Former Orioles had some fun this week.

Dylan Bundy's home run problems last year were all his own. This year, they fit alarmingly well with the rest of the Orioles' pitching staff.

Monday's Orioles-Athletics game had an announced attendance of 6,585, the lowest for an Orioles game at Camden Yards in which fans were admitted.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde pulled right-hander David Hess in the seventh inning of a no-hit bid that the Orioles led 6-0 at the time, only to cling to a 6-5 win to improve to 3-1.

If there's anything worth taking away from the Orioles' series win in New York to start the season, it's not how often they'll be able to replicate it, but that they're unburdened from anything but that day's game and can actually enjoy it.

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was left out of the lineup for the second game of the season against tough left-hander James Paxton, but manager Brandon Hyde said it won't always be the case.

The Orioles' long rebuild comes with the hope that one day they can compete with the Yankees. Opening Day showed how hard that will be this season.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde made sure he took in every part of his first Opening Day in charge of baseball's most daunting rebuilding project, showing the balance of competitive fire and compassion that made the team hire him.

New Orioles manager Brandon Hyde knows he is in for a very challenging season, but he seems well prepared to make his debut as a major league manager.

As the Orioles rebuild rolls on behind the scenes, the major league team will be playing with a mandate of competing, and might actually play in a way that past Orioles teams frustrated by not doing.

Just because the Orioles are projected to finish dead-last in Major League Baseball doesn't mean Baltimore should despair (well, not completely anyway).

The Orioles are trying to lift themselves from the ashes of their historically bad 2018 season, and — win or lose — they can lift up their troubled city if their effort sends the right message to the fans.

New York Yankees guest instructor Lee Mazzilli was struck in the head by a ball in batting practice Wednesday and taken to a local hospital.

Mike Wright Jr. became the first Orioles pitcher to go three innings Saturday and delivered his third straight scoreless appearance in a lopsided victory over the Red Sox.

Orioles catcher Chance Sisco hit two homers and drove in five runs in a 3-for-3 performance against the Boston Red Sox.

When he learned about Manny Machado’s reported $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres, young Yankees fan Jacob Carpenter argued he was glad the former Orioles star would not be suiting up in pinstripes, as some in New York had hoped.

Veteran pitcher Nathan Karns signed with the Orioles after missing the entire 2018 season and says that he did it to return to the toughest division in baseball.

For the rebuilding Orioles, it's all about the kids, but the thirty-somethings on the roster still have a lot to offer,

Orioles fans aren't going to have much to cheer about if they concentrate the won-loss column this year, so they have to reset their expectations this spring.

A pair of MLB Network analysts who faced Mike Mussina plenty — Hall of Famer Jim Thome and Kevin Millar — feel strongly that this should be the year Mussina is enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Rick Down, who was the hitting coach when the Orioles set the then-major league record with 257 home runs in 1996, is dead at 68 after a long illness.

As long as the American League continues tipping toward New York and Boston franchises, a Baltimore team is doomed to second place or worse.

The Orioles introduced their new general manager, Mike Elias, on Monday. Elias emphasized that "the plan is simple. We're going to build an elite talent pipeline."

The Maryland Sports Boosters put on a 1983 World Series reunion gala on Wednesday night in conjunction with the Babe Ruth Museum. There were plenty of players from that team in attendance and many of them were wondering when the Orioles will knock them off that pedestal.

The executive search would be daunting enough, but another round of arbitration in the long-running Mid-Atlantic Sports Network rights dispute with the Washington Nationals also is a major source of concern for the Orioles. Both situations could come to a head this month.

Buck Showalter is on the hook for dismal Orioles season that was result of years of poor long-range planning.

The merciful end of the 2018 season has finally arrived for an Orioles team that might never live down what happened this year.

Just a handful of Astros who won last year's World Series were with the team when their rebuild began, a signal to the Orioles and their fans that they might not see the current players around when the winning returns.

The Orioles ended their season series at Yankee Stadium with a 5-4 record, the only AL park they will have a winning record at in 2018.
