- With a home run Wednesday, Trey Mancini matched Frank Robinson in 1969 and Chris Davis in 2013 for the most home runs by an Orioles batter through the team's first 12 games with six.
- As Chris Davis’ season-long struggles at the plate continued to spiral, the short-term solution Friday night was one the Orioles tried previously, giving the first baseman a day off to serve as a mental reset.
- Orioles closer Brad Brach had a pair of saves in less than 24 hours to continue a strong run at the back end of the bullpen, reversing his rough start.
- Orioles center fielder Adam Jones has had a challenging stretch in center field over the past week or so, but manager Buck Showalter said it's not at the point where he or Jones needs to change anything.

Back on 'the right path,' Alex Cobb delivers best start as Oriole to win series opener vs. Mets, 2-1
In his 10th start with the club, Alex Cobb finally showed himself to be the pitcher the Orioles signed him to be. - Washington slugger Bryce Harper hit a broken-bat home run an estimated at 406 feet to right-center field. Perhaps even more surprisingly, the struggling Nationals rallied to cool off the Mets.
- Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner pitched five strong innings in a 4-4 tie with the New York Mets Friday, and continued to show manager Buck Showalter he's on track for a good season.
- Orioles shortstop Manny Machado said the tampering charges against Yankees star Aaron Judge were overblown as he continued to swing a hot bat in a 4-4 tie with the New York Mets.
- The club has just three left-handed hitters and one switch hitter on the 40-man roster.
- The Orioles hit just .222 against right-handed pitching in September
- The Orioles manage just two runs Sunday night, making it four total in a three-game sweep by the streaking Indians.
- It’s imperative that we all do what we can to help out in this situation.
- Most of the Orioles' starting lineup is set, even though the batting order remains unclear. Unless an injury hits the starting rotation, the addition of right-hander Yovani Gallardo gives the Orioles their five starters. The burning questions entering the Grapefruit League schedule center around the team's starting corner outfield spots, the composition of the back end of the bullpen and how the Orioles round out their bench.
- The Orioles still appear likely to enhance their outfield depth, which should be less complicated now that there are no more free agents tied to draft-pick compensation.
- The Orioles collectively attempted to move on from the Dexter Fowler fiasco on Friday, one day removed from being blind-sided by news that the veteran outfielder was remaining with the Chicago Cubs instead of joining the Orioles. Now, the club is left with more questions than answers.
- Outfielder Dexter Fowler spurned the Orioles for the Chicago Cubs, and has spurred plenty of reactions from people trying to make sense of it.
- The Orioles most likely don't have enough to trade for an all star quality outfielder.
- Here is our annual All-Star break edition of five questions facing the Orioles, with the best answers we can provide at this confusing, murky point in the club's year.
- The Orioles had five hits -- all singles -- to score four runs in the first inning against Reds right-hander Mat Latos and then held on for a 5-4 win in front of an announced 15,021 at Camden Yards.
- The Orioles were well represented Friday when finalists for this season's AL Gold Glove awards were named.
- All three of the Orioles' All-Star starters were acquired in trades, by former president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail.
- Orioles outfielder Chris Dickerson is the CEO and co-founder of Players for the Planet, a coalition of nearly 90 professional athletes who partner to promote environmental awareness.
- Orioles: Buck Showalter says Brian Matusz might have to learn to pitch with decreased velocity. Orioles manager indicates starter might not regain ability to throw as hard as he had in past.
- Derrek Lee smacked a solo homer off Jose Arredondo in the 12th inning, ending the Orioles' 5-4 victory over the Reds in front of an announced 45,382, the second sellout crowd this season.
