Lineups, pitching matchup and how to watch Sunday's Orioles game vs. Astros

Orioles rookie David Hess ended his season with a seven-inning, one-run outing against the Astros.

Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini grabbed a piece of the league lead with two outfield assists in Monday's 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox, giving him six for the year and keeping the Orioles ahead in the tense middle innings.

The Orioles ended their Rule 5 experiment with left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr., who was designated for assignment one day after he yielded a second grand slam within a week.

Reliever Nestor Cortes Jr. gave up his second grand slam this week in the Orioles' 7-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy has allowed just one earned run in 13 innings this season.

Chris Davis sat Wednesday after starting the season 1-for-20 in his first five games while hitting from the leadoff spot.

The Orioles bullpen allowed seven runs as the team's first offensive eruption of the season goes to waste in a 10-6 loss to the Astros.

Trey Mancini couldn't come up with Carlos Correa's first-inning fly ball, and a crazy bounce led to the first inside-the-park homer the Orioles had allowed since 2014.

Chris Tillman delivers another solid outing in O's loss to Astros

The Orioles face the Astros at Camden Yards.

Adam Jones spent the early part of his Sunday playing the Boston Red Sox. He ended it cosplaying the bodyguard for the "Million Dollar Man."

Orioles starter Alec Asher gives up six runs in the second inning, squandering a three run lead in an 8-4 loss to the Houston Astros.

Whether it's a fourth outfielder or new designated hitter, the Orioles can find one on non-tender market.

Free agency is starting to heat up, and the market makes it likely the Orioles wait it out again.

The Orioles have been interested in free-agent outfielder Josh Reddick for several years, including each of the past two trade deadlines.

Ventura also ignited tension in three straight starts, spanning two weeks, last April.

Right-hander Chris Tillman suffered through another bumpy first inning, but the once-slumbering Orioles offense erupted with a season-high six home runs to

Two nights, two walk-off homers for the Orioles. It¿s mid-August and this enigmatic club isn¿t dead yet. One night after Manny Machado hit a two-run homer to give the Orioles a win in 13 innings Friday, Chris Davis provided the heroics on Saturday, a solo homer to right in the bottom of the ninth to give the Orioles a 4-3 victory.

Wei-Yin Chen will pitch Wednesday afternoon as the Orioles try to win the series in Oakland.

After rookie right-handers Tyler Wilson and Mychal Givens combined to allow just two runs in a win against the Oakland A's on Monday night, Orioles manager Buck Showalter made a point to reporters that he has stressed several times over the last year or so.

The Orioles were well represented Friday when finalists for this season's AL Gold Glove awards were named.

When Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez hit a game-tying homer in the bottom of the seventh inning on Monday, changing momentum in Game 4 of the American League Division between Detroit and Oakland, a lot of Orioles fans were surely taken back to 1996.

Buck Showalter said in pre-game media briefing that the Orioles are still considering their options with designated hitter Wilson Betemit, but there really isn¿t a lot they can do.

Leading by five runs in the sixth, the Orioles appeared to be cruising to their first four-game sweep of the Oakland A¿s in Oakland Coliseum in 26 years.

Wei-Yin Chen didn't leave things to chance in the Orioles' 3-0 victory over the Oakland A¿s on Friday night.

Starter Jason Hammel pitched six solid innings, leadoff hitter Nate McLouth continued his recent torrid streak and all nine Orioles starters had at least one hit in a 10-2 win over the Oakland A's.

Before "Moneyball" hit the best sellers list and before Brad Pitt brought Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane to the big screen, Dan Duquette's Montreal Expos were perhaps the first incarnation of the Moneyball concept.

The Orioles rotation looks like it's set up pretty nicely for a potential ALDS with Jason Hammel, Miguel Gonzalez and Tillman in line for the first three games. But who takes the ball to get them there?

Down the stretch is a daily Orioles Insider blog that will set up the coming night for the O's and their American League competition as the push for the postseason continues.

Orioles set-up man Pedro Strop, who was supremely effective for most of this season, has struggled with his command for a few weeks, leading to speculation that he's getting worn down by the grind and spotlight of a major league season.

After scoring just four runs in their first two games in Oakland, the Orioles' offense resurfaced Sunday -- thanks in part to two solo homers by Matt Wieters -- with 13 hits in a 9-5 victory.

If there's one thing that separates the Oakland A's and the Orioles, the American League¿s two upstarts, it¿s that the A¿s young pitching has been a tick better this season. On Saturday, in Oakland's 5-2 victory, A's 23-year-old right-hander Jarrod Parker was a whole lot better than 24-year-old lefty Zach Britton.

Wei-Yin Chen both major league and Orioles club records in a 6-1 win over the A's in front of an announced 19,698 at Camden Yards.

The Orioles' series opener with the Oakland A's dragged out longer than an Olympic Opening Ceremony, a four-hour marathon that included five lead changes.

The Orioles rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth against A¿s closer Grant Balfour, keyed by catcher Matt Wieters¿ two-run double off the left-field wall and capped by Wilson Betemit¿s first career walk-off homer, to give them a 5-2 win.

In Friday's 5-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics, Orioles starter Jake Arrieta stumbled early and couldn't pitch deep, the second consecutive time he has failed to get through the sixth. But it was plate umpire Jeff Kellogg's tackle of a fan that was the biggest hit of the night.
