Shane Baz and the Orioles handle the Astros, 5-3

Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen…   Surely, given the depleted […]

Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Astros, 6:35 pm

Tonight begins the third series in a row in which the O’s face a team currently sitting in last place in its division.

So, who on the Yankees is allowed to challenge balls and strikes?

New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Series Preview

Luis Gil torched by Astros, Yankees fail to sweep

The Yankees had already locked up their third-straight series win, but were unable to notch their third consecutive sweep on Sunday in Houston.

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros: Luis Gil vs. Spencer Arrighetti

Last night’s win was driven by […]
