Baltimore Orioles

Gunnar Henderson's homer and three hits and Grayson Rodriguez's eight shutout innings end Baltimore's four-game losing streak.

The Orioles' magic number to earn a playoff spot is down to one.

The Orioles have lost four straight, including the first two in their key series against Tampa Bay.

The Baltimore Orioles brought back fan favorite Adam Jones for a retirement ceremony, thawing what was a frosty relationship after the five-time All-Star left in 2019.

On Friday, the Orioles will honor Jones with a retirement ceremony before they take on the Rays in a crucial AL East matchup.

The Orioles lose their third straight game, and their magic number remains four.

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones will officially retire on Friday, but you’ll still be able to see his face — pieing someone else’s — on a local salt box.

Mountcastle may return quickly from shoulder soreness, while Kjerstad's major league debut may be fleeting.

Kerry Watson, who served as MGM’s regional vice president of government affairs for the last three years, will join the Orioles to oversee the franchise’s governmental affairs, communications, community development and creative content, The Baltimore Banner has learned.

When Shintaro Fujinami made the transition from Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan to Major League Baseball in America, his friend, Yuhi Hattori, decided to join him.

The second overall pick in the 2020 draft had his early career derailed by injuries, but Kjerstad hit .298 with 10 home runs and an .886 OPS in 76 games with Norfolk.

The magic number for Baltimore (91-54) to make the playoffs remains at four. To win the division, it is 15.

Mountcastle, who has hit .328 with seven home runs since returning from a bout with vertigo, will have imaging done Thursday.

Orioles batting practice pitcher Rubén Francisca has shown the two most desired qualities for someone in his role: the ability to throw strikes, and the ability to throw for hours on end.

Orioles pitcher John Means made his first start since undergoing Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery last year.

Means endured the Orioles’ lean years and was an undisputed ace going into last season, when Adley Rutschman and the fruit of the rebuild was set to arrive. Then, an elbow injury cost him more than a year. He finally returns tonight, ready to help with the final push to the playoffs.

Félix Bautista has reason to trust the Orioles, and Mike Elias has evidence that pitchers can be effective after a UCL injury. But fans should still be cautious when they envision what’s next for the All-Star closer.

Regardless of what happens in any other games Monday night, the Orioles need only four wins to secure a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

The All-Star has been out since injuring his UCL on Aug. 25, and the team was monitoring his progress.
