I feel like I’ve written this sentence a lot in recent pieces, but the Baltimore Orioles were once again carried to a series win on the back of their staggering lineup and rock-solid bullpen.
The birds took three out of four from the AL-East leading Boston Red Sox, chopping their lead down to 1.5 games...
Orioles prospect update: Dylan Bundy, Jonathan Schoop

Chris Tillman, Orioles’ Bullpen Silencing Critics As Baltimore Continues to Be Thorn in Red Sox’ Side
So much for those pitching woes.
The Orioles, a team whose 2012 success was due in large part to their bullpen’s dominance, have received inconsistent pitching for much of this season. You wouldn’t know it by watching Baltimore’s back-to-back wins over Boston, though.
Chris Tillman turned in an excellent outing on Friday. He twirled six shutout innings en route to earning his...
Orioles 2, Red Sox 0
There's still more than half a season left to play, so there's no reason for the Baltimore Orioles to become overly excited about their current situation.
Then again, what harm is there in enjoying the moment?
Chris Tillman took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 22nd home run and the Orioles blanked the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Friday...

The man they call “Crush” is at it again.
This time, Chris Davis ended the game not with homerun smashed onto Eutaw Street, but a bloop single the opposite way that was just out of reach of both Red Sox SS Stephen Drew and LF Jonny Gomes that allowed Nick Markakis to score and gave the...

Chris Davis Threatening Miguel Cabrera for Triple Crown As Dangerous Orioles Welcome Red Sox to Baltimore
When the most recent AL MVP betting odds were released, Tigers star Miguel Cabrera was the even-money favorite. That makes sense as Cabrera potentially could be the first player ever to win back-to-back Triple Crowns.
The second-favorite was Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis at 3-1, and he’s making his own Triple Crown case. The lefty slugger trails only Cabrera in batting average...
BRINGING IT BACK
Peter Bourjos robs JJ Hardy of home run
Last June in Baltimore, Mike Trout made an amazing catch to rob JJ Hardy of the Orioles of a home run at the center field wall. This June, it was Peter Bourjos' turn. The Los Angeles center fielder made this remarkable grab of Hardy's deep fly ball in the first inning of Tuesday's Angels-Orioles game, dredging up memories of Trout's insane catch from a year ago. There...
What can the Baltimore Orioles do about their pitching?
Freddy Garcia lasted only 3 innings on the mound last night for the Baltimore Orioles against a Houston Astros lineup that is not exactly filled to the brim with world-beaters. He gave up 6 runs on 7 hits (4 of them HRs) and 2 walks, a far cry from the electrifying performance he put on in his previous start against Washington. But Orioles fans should have seen this coming. The chances...
IS THAT PERMANENT?
Orioles misspell Matt Wieters' name on plaque
Last June, Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters belted a three-run home run that landed on the street in front of the warehouse behind Camden Yards.The feat is no small task. It is had been done just 68 times in the stadium's 21-year history. To commemorate the accomplishment, the team places plaques along the street with the name of the players who hit the street on a fly...
