Michael Morse entered Wednesday hitless as an Oriole at Camden Yards.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter admitted that one of his relievers has been dealing with a physical ailment.

Tuesday night¿s game -- and the momentum of the Orioles' September push toward the postseason -- both took a turn for the worse in the eighth inning of Baltimore 7-5 loss to the Yankees at Camden Yards.

The Orioles entered the sixth inning of Tuesday night¿s loss with a 4-1 lead, but the game unraveled because the bullpen was shorthanded and manager Buck Showalter felt he had to leave rookie Kevin Gausman in for a second inning against the heart of the New York Yankees lineup.

Orioles top position prospect Jonathan Schoop has been with the major-league club for parts of the past two spring training camps, but Tuesday marked his official first day in the big leagues.

Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen had never thrown fewer than four innings or given up more than seven runs in any of his starts as a major leaguer. He picked a particularly inopportune time to do both.

While many Orioles haven't had the chance to look through the outline of the proposed instant replay installation released by Major League Baseball on Thursday, some still feel the much-talked-about subject will ultimately be a positive for the game.

While the Orioles bullpen has received its share of work over the course of the club's eight-game road trip to San Diego, San Francisco and Arizona, manager Buck Showalter says he isn't worried about his relievers tiring.

Despite Chris Davis' majors leading 43rd homer of the season and a gritty rally in the ninth, the Orioles dropped their series opener to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-6, with a walk-off loss in front of an announced 18,889 at Chase Field.

The Orioles rallied from an early two-run deficit to score 10 unanswered runs for a 10-2 victory Sunday afternoon in their series finale in San Francisco in front of an announced sellout crowd of 41,622 at AT&T Park

Before a sold-out home crowd on Saturday night, the Orioles lost a 7-3 contest to the Boston Red Sox, a game in the standings and chunks of their visiting dugout phone.

As promising as the Orioles¿ seven-game road trip to Texas and Kansas City was through their first four games, this was not the way they wanted it to end.

Reliever Francisco Rodriguez joined the Orioles before Wednesday's game in Kansas City still a little surprised he was suddenly wearing a Baltimore uniform after having been acquired in a trade.

Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel is hoping for a fresh start tonight when he makes his first start after the All-Star break against the Kansas City Royals.

Buck Showalter doesn't know how many wins it will take to win the American League East this year. The Orioles manager said he had a recent discussion about it, but couldn't come up with a ballpark figure.

Right-hander gives up six runs, 10 hits in six-plus innings against Toronto

As much focus has been placed recently on the Orioles starting rotation¿s inability to consistently carry the team deep into games, right-hander Miguel Gonzalez has been a steadying force throughout.

Everything unraveled for the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth inning of Monday night's game at Camden Yards. Sixth-inning struggles are nothing new for the Orioles. It has been their least-successful inning this season.

Scott Feldman was forced to watch from the dugout as the Texas Rangers opened up the game with a six-run sixth inning, charged with a season-high seven runs over 5 1/3 innings as the Orioles dropped a 8-5 decision to Texas in the series opener in front of an announced 24,619 at Camden Yards.

Scott Feldman gives up seven runs in his first start as an Oriole at Camden Yards.

The greatest closer of all-time, the New York Yankees' Mariano Rivera, served up a one-out, two-run homer to Adam Jones that basically handed the Orioles a 2-1 win and helped them avoid the sweep.

Over the course of a 162-game season, some wins can get lost, but the Orioles' 4-2 victory over the Yankees on Sunday night was one that will likely resonate in the hearts of fans in Baltimore for a while.

Despite the success of left-hander Wei-Yin Chen's rehab start at Double-A Bowie on Saturday night, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the organization is still deciding whether or not he needs another rehab start before rejoining the team.

Double-A Bowie outfielder Henry Urrutia and Class-A Frederick left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez have been selected to play for the World Team in the All-Star Futures Game on July 14 at CitiField.

Making just his fourth start this month, Casilla hit his first homer of the season ¿ and his first since last August ¿ a three-run shot off Cleveland right-hander Justin Masterson in the seventh inning to give the Orioles a 6-3 win over the Indians.

Orioles manager Buck Showater is never one to overanalyze his players, so it was interesting to hear him say that right-hander Jake Arrieta was ¿lucky¿ that the Orioles¿ 5-1 loss to Detroit was being played in Comerica Park¿s expansive outfield and not Camden Yards.

The way Friday night's game played out, it was the same opponent, the same deficit and the same scenario as the night ¿Orioles Magic¿ was born.

TORONTO ¿ Some of you are wondering why Orioles manager Buck Showalter stuck with closer Jim Johnson in the ninth inning of the Orioles¿ 6-5 loss to Toronto on Sunday afternoon.
