BALTIMORE—After starting 16 games in June and hitting .246 with his first major league home run and eight RBIs, Coby Mayo has started just two games in July. He’s hitless in six at-bats.

BALTIMORE—While the Orioles don’t have a clear idea on the player they’ll take with their first-round draft choice in Sunday night’s draft, they do know they’ll make seven selections among the first 93 picks and have a record amount of money to spend.

Rogers pitches superbly against former team, but Orioles’ offense is absent in 6-0 loss to Marlins
BALTIMORE–What happened? Against the team that traded him last July, Trevor Rogers threw an excellent 6 2/3 innings. Unfortunately for him, Gregory Soto allowed an inherited baserunner to score, and the Orioles’ offense did nothing to help him.

BALTIMORE–What happened? For weeks, Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino has been insisting that his team still has a chance to contend for a playoff spot. With just two games remaining before the four-day All-Star break, Mansolino’s team is trying to convince skeptics that yes, it is a contender. On Friday night, Dean Kremer pitched seven […] Read More

That’s the same record they had on May 6th, 11 days before Tony Mansolino took over as interim manager. Under Mansolino, they’re 27-22. When he became manager on May 17th, the Orioles were 15-28, and lost four straight. His […] Read More

BALTIMORE–What happened? After trading Bryan Baker, the reliever who led their team in appearances, the Orioles swept a doubleheader from the New York Mets, the first time they’ve won two games in a day since June 25th, 2016.

Peter Schmuck: Is the Baker deal the canary in the Orioles’ mineshaft?
I’ll admit at the outset that at first glance I don’t like the Bryan Baker trade, though I understand the rationale.
