“I’ve been doing it for a long time with him,” Rutschman said. “That’s why I feel like it means so much, just because we’ve had so many BP sessions, so many fake Home Run Derby games — he’s always been the guy.”

At 54-35, Baltimore reaches the break with its best record in 26 years.

Ryan Mountcastle felt the onset of vertigo in early June, and after a month he has returned to the Orioles ready to contribute.

Seven straight Orioles reach base to start the second inning, and that produces all the runs they need.

López, a 2022 All-Star for the Orioles, was placed on the 15-day injured list for his mental health, becoming the fourth player in Major League Baseball to receive that designation.

After a stretch of six losses in seven games, Baltimore is on a three-game winning streak.

When trying to prevent stolen bases, there's far more at play this year than in the past.

”I don’t know, I can’t see in the mind of Colton Cowser,” fellow prospect Jordan Westburg said. "It’s pretty hard to get in there, and it could be a scary place, but to me it seems he’s always able to brush things off. He’s always able to have fun, no matter what’s going on."

Cowser has taken Triple-A Norfolk by storm this season. In the previous 56 games he played, Cowser hit .330 with a .996 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

Rutschman, who grew up in Oregon, saw his first MLB game in Seattle. Now he’ll return there to partake in the most popular part of All-Star festivities.

Baltimore scores twice in the bottom of the eighth after managing only one run in the previous 27 innings.

The Orioles have lost four in a row for the first time this season after Minnesota's victory before the second-largest crowd at Camden Yards this year.

After the Orioles entered the 2022 MLB draft with the No. 1 overall pick, the unknowns are far more pronounced heading into the 2023 edition.

The bad weather over the last week-plus has led to one question: What qualifies as a classic?

Baltimore has the fourth-best record in baseball, but you wouldn't know it when you look at the American League All-Star starting lineup.

Devereaux and Brach are joining as analysts for select games, and Jason La Canfora will host select pre and postgame shows.

Orioles pitchers have developed their own version of a long-popular home run guessing game to pass the time.

Cincinnati goes from small ball to long ball in extra innings to take two of three from Baltimore.

The Reds and Orioles share a unique mutual respect. Both teams withstood the doldrums of a rebuild, and now — finally — can feel the excitement that follows thanks to bright young stars.

The Orioles will have two representatives at the All-Star Futures Game in Seattle on July 8 at T-Mobile Park: Shortstop Jackson Holliday and outfielder Heston Kjerstad.
