BALTIMORE -- Colton Cowser is developing a knack for providing moments of déjà vu. Remember last month when the Orioles’ center fielder hit walk-off home runs on back-to-back days? (May 24 vs. the Tigers and May 25 vs. the Rays). Well, Cowser is back at it again this week, only

BALTIMORE -- The story of 11-year-old Declan Lefevre’s youth baseball career is inspirational. When Declan was about 4 years old, a doctor noticed his legs were different lengths.

BALTIMORE -- As the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline keeps drawing closer, rumors will continue to circulate, particularly on social media. Naturally, some will have more merit than others.

BALTIMORE -- The 2025 version of Trevor Rogers appears to be back in Baltimore. After a difficult start to 2026, Rogers has been putting everything back together in mid-June.

ANAHEIM -- The 18.9 mph dribbler off the bat of the Angels’ Logan O’Hoppe slowly rolled down the third-base line, before Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo jumped up out of his crouch and retrieved it within 15-20 feet of home plate. At that point, the 21-year-old rookie backstop had to immediately
