Elias discusses Orioles’ bullpen, catching, prospects and 2021 draft
The Orioles are on a nine-game losing streak and have the worst record in baseball. Three weeks ago, they had a delightful flight home from Seattle after John Means pitched perhaps the best game in franchise history. Since that no-hitter, the team has lost 16 of 18.

Orioles lose 9th straight; López gives up 3-run homer to Twins in 6th; Elias talks about losing streak

Orioles’ bullpen allows 6-run 8th in 7th straight loss; Means gets no relief after another strong start
Since John Means threw a no-hitter on May 5th, the Orioles have played 16 games. They’ve won just two of them. Means hasn’t won any of his three starts since then, though he’s pitched well enough to win each of them. On Monday night, Means gave up two solo home runs and,...

Hays’ tight hamstring, bad bunt decision; Ruiz claimed on waivers; Orioles wear hockey jerseys

Rule 5 pick Tyler Wells impresses Orioles
The Orioles have used the Rule 5 draft to find talent. This year, they hope they’ve found a pitcher with staying power in 6-foot-8 Tyler Wells, who was one of two selections in last December’s Rule 5 draft. Right-hander Mac Sceroler was the other pick and is on the 10-day injured list...

Orioles lose 5th straight; Zimmermann, Plutko roughed up; Hunter Harvey’s rehab
WASHINGTON—The Orioles’ fifth straight loss and their 12th in the last 14 games wasn’t the fault of the offense. In the previous two losses, the Orioles had managed just three runs on six hits. They scored nine runs and twice had five-run leads, but their pitching undermined them in a 12-9 loss...
