DOS A CERO

If Poch finds a way to win this I’ll be buying a button-down, double pocket fishing-esque shirt in his honor

Balogun is unreal. Come to West Ham (joking)

The Nationals and Orioles have completed a trade for the first time in Washington’s history. The Orioles acquired minor league infielder Randal Diaz from the Nationals in exchange for right-hander Kyle Nicolas.

Senegal has been robbed here

Ryan Helsley experiences right elbow discomfort warming up in Orioles win

I love watching Telemundo because the announcer rolls the r on Declan Rice

You know what’s worse for a team than angry fans? Apathetic fans. Beware, Orioles

A beautiful moment for Cody Gakpo

From the couch: All the best to the fans who stuck around to watch that

Will attempt to not completely crash out on this here website

Anton is allowed to stand, and claiming he fouls the Paraguayan goalie is weak. Ridiculous fifa protection of goalies continues. Anton doesn’t hold, push, anything

Banner Baseball Show with @jonmeoli.bsky.social & @afkostka.bsky.social 📉 #Orioles drop series to Angels, then Nats 🛠️ Fixing issues with fundamentals 🧐 Making sense of Gunnar's struggles New episode ⤵️

Since last season, there has been a low-humming trade buzz around Adley Rutschman. Mike Elias countered the speculation, saying he wanted to keep Adley “forever.” Here’s why I actually see the sense in holding on — at least past this trade deadline: app.thebaltimorebanner.com/ZQYGXAE5HRGR...

Programming note: I’m off this White Sox series. I’ll catch you in Cincinnati

Can Japan sub on Ohtani already?

Gunnar Henderson is putting in the work, but the results aren’t coming in a "frustrating" year. “I don’t even know how to describe it,” Henderson said. www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Haha, Yankees - Red Sox delivered

Oh man, a rough two innings for Wilyer Abreu

Contact Play Worked

Luis García Jr.’s 2-homer game powers Nationals past Orioles, 6-4

The Nationals beat the Orioles, 6-4, to win the series. Kyle Bradish walked five batters, the Orioles managed three hits against Zack Littell in five innings, and Baltimore falls to 39-46

Jackson Holliday cranks a two-run homer against Mitchell Parker. He followed Colton Cowser's two-out single. The Orioles are back in this, down 6-4 to the Nationals in the seventh

Luis García Jr. is a force for the Nationals, today and this season. A three-hit game, with two homers and a double. His latest solo shot puts Washington ahead of Baltimore, 6-2, in the seventh

vroom, the planes www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

For as poorly as the Orioles defense has played at times -- very poorly -- Colton Cowser has done well in center. He robbed a homer earlier, and now he threw Keibert Ruiz at second as he tried for a double

Tyler Wells allowed a two-run shot to Luis García Jr. But later in the inning, Colton Cowser robs a potential two-run shot. Nationals lead, 5-2

After a leadoff walk of James Wood to begin the fifth, the Orioles are pulling Kyle Bradish. In comes Tyler Wells. An uncharacteristically wild day from Bradish, who walked five batters in his four-plus innings

Orioles are playing through the airshow, which was the plan, but home plate umpire Jansen Visconti wisely called time thrice before a pitch this at-bat to allow for the sound to dissipate. It gets pretty loud on passes. That has to be distracting for pitcher and hitter

Kyle Bradish forced what could've been an inning-ending grounder. But Coby Mayo bounced the throw to first (choosing that over tagging Luis García Jr.) and Samuel Basallo can't pick it. Nationals lead, 3-2

Kyle Bradish allowed a pair of two-out walks, and he had Luis García Jr. in a 1-2 count as well. But García worked the count full, then split the left-center gap for a two-run double. Bradish retired the first 8 Nationals in order before those walks and a double to make it 2-2

The airshow in Baltimore just jetted by Camden Yards, streaming red, white and blue smoke. That was pretty neat

Adley Rutschman singles in his first plate appearance back from a concussion, and that sets up Pete Alonso's two-run homer to center field. Orioles ahead early on the Nationals, 2-0

Next time you go to Camden Yards, consider Las Chamas De Baltimore, the Venezuelan food truck at the Sunoco across the street on Russell. This arepa means business

Jackson Holliday has a new glove from Rawlings that features a photo of himself and his dog, Coconut. Coconut’s name is stitched on it as well. Holliday said he’s not using this in a game; it’s for warmups. But it’s cool. “I just wanted to do something fun,” he said

The Orioles reinstate outfielder Dylan Beavers and catcher Adley Rutschman from the injured list. To make room, they optioned Jeremiah Jackson and designated Sam Huff for assignment

Craig Albernaz said the Orioles had the contact play on third to "force them to make a play." "It's a tough play for Abrams. He made a great play. It's one of those things where the infield's drawn in, you got to go on contact, read, force them to make a play."

Nationals avoid bullpen disaster, hold on to extra-innings win over Orioles www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

The Nationals beat the Orioles, 4-3, in 10 innings. Baltimore had a runner thrown out at the plate in the 10th, then left bases loaded

CJ Abrams snares a grounder from Taylor Ward, and Jeremiah Jackson, running from third on contact (as if the Orioles' way, and most teams' way) is thrown out at the plate. Nationals lead, 4-3, with two outs in the bottom of the 10th

The Nationals bullpen blows a lead. Samuel Basallo lines a first-pitch RBI single to level the score, 3-3

Pete Alonso lines an RBI double to the left field wall, and the Orioles now trail the Nationals 3-2 in the eighth

A double error from Blaze Alexander — first when fielding the grounder, next on the throw to first — put Jorbit Vivas on second and set up Drew Millas' RBI single. That put the Nationals ahead 3-1. Washington could've had a 4th but O'Neill-Jackson-Tromp relay brought third out at the plate

I think this new Corona bar robbed Luis Garcia of a Eutaw Street homer

Luis Garcia Jr. demolishes a Brandon Young fastball on a 3-0 count. That appeared to reach Eutaw Street. It gives Washington a 2-1 lead in the fifth

Brandon Young strands a pair of Nationals in scoring position to end the fourth inning, and he does so by striking out James Wood. Young already has a career-high 19 whiffs, with nine of those from his splitter

Three live games at once

VAR robs DR Congo (and the fans) of a banger

Chadwick Tromp comes through in his first start since returning to the Orioles. He drives an opposite-field single to score Jeremiah Jackson from second. Orioles and Nationals knotted at 1-1 in the second
