DENVER—The Orioles were hoping for their first series win in more than a month and their first road series win since the season’s first week. They hadn’t even won consecutive games since May 4-6. They took a 7-6 lead coming into the ninth after three-run rallies in the seventh and eighth. Branden...
DENVER—The Orioles placed first baseman Chris Davis on the 10-day injured because of inflammation in his left hip. The move was made less than an hour before Sunday’s game and is retroactive to May 25. “CD has been sore for a few days,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said before the start of...
DENVER—Orioles manager Brandon Hyde knew he had to rest reliever Mychal Givens. What wasn’t certain was who Hyde would use in relief of Andrew Cashner. Hyde did some major improvising, and the Orioles broke their seven-game losing streak with a 9-6 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. Cashner left with...
DENVER—Gabriel Ynoa will be the Orioles’ starter on Monday, when the Orioles return home to play Detroit. Manager Brandon Hyde, who decided to put struggling Dan Straily in the bullpen for now, said that Ynoa was the best choice. Ynoa has seven major league starts, including four for the Orioles in 2017....
DENVER—It’s been a horrible week for reliever Mychal Givens. For the third time in five games, Givens fell apart in the ninth inning, and the Orioles suffered another difficult loss.

DENVER–Keon Broxton, who was acquired by the Orioles from the New York Mets on Wednesday, was batting sixth and playing center field on Friday night. Broxton had been designated for assignment by the Mets, for whom he hit .143 in 34 games and traded for $500,000 in international bonus money. He described...
FREDERICK—One of the best stories in the Orioles’ minor league system is the return of Cody Sedlock as a prospect. In 2016, the Orioles made Sedlock, who will turn 24 on June 19, their No. 1 draft choice from the University of Illinois. Injuries and ineffectiveness ruined his 2017 and 2018 seasons,...
BALTIMORE—For a while, it felt like primetime Orioles baseball in the afternoon. A large, lively crowd, and a tight game. In the end, though, it was a familiar result. Orioles closer Mychal Givens allowed four straight baserunners after striking out the first two batters of the ninth. The fourth forced in the...
BALTIMORE—Oriole fans are probably wondering why their favorite team’s pitchers insist on pitching to Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez. Torres has 12 home runs, 10 against the Orioles, while Sanchez has 15, nine against Baltimore. Again, home runs were the difference in the Orioles’ 7-5 loss to the New York Yankees on...
BALTIMORE—The Orioles acquired centerfielder Keon Broxton from the New York Mets on Wednesday, and general manager Mike Elias is confident he’ll help the team.
