Encina / The Baltimore Sun August 9, 2016 Kevin Gausman certainly pitched well enough to win on Monday night on the road against the Oakland Athletics, but his misfortune away from Camden Yards continued. The Orioles right-hander has not won a start on the road in nearly two years, dating back to Aug. 17, 2014. That draught continued with the Orioles’ 3-2 loss to the Athletics on Monday night on front of a sparse announced crowd of 10,407 at Oakland Alameda Coliseum Despite holding the A’s to two runs on six hits over six innings, Gausman is now 0-8 in 12 road starts this season. One day after scoring 10 runs for rookie Dylan Bundy in Chicago, the Orioles, with a change of scenery, couldn’t duplicate that kind of offense in the series opener. A’s right-hander Kendall Graveman flummoxed the Orioles. “He pounds the strike zone,” center fielder Adam Jones said of Graveman. “That’s what I’ve seen out of him the first start against him, looking over tape. He just pounds the strike zone. He uses his sinker, he uses his infield, and tonight we hit some balls on the button, but right at them. We had some opportunities, just didn’t come through.” The Orioles handed Graveman his shortest outing of the season back on May 8, chasing him from the game after 2 2/3 innings when he allowed six runs – including four homers. But on Monday night, the Orioles scraped just one run off Graveman over seven innings. Graveman induced 14 groundball outs and no fly-ball outs. “He wasn’t sinking the ball [then] like he was tonight,” manager Buck Showalter said of the first meeting. “… If you see a lot of groundballs and everything, you’ll know he’s on top of his game, and he was.” Gausman – who has been the victim of poor run support throughout the season – has received an average of just 2.4 runs per game. “It’s just part of the game,” Jones said. “It’s crazy. Yesterday we scored 10 runs. Today we scored two. Sometimes you think we wished we could have used some runs from yesterday, but it’s just how the game works. He’s been throwing the heck out of the ball. Tonight, threw the heck out of the ball. He’s controlling what he can control, and that’s on the mound. As an offense, we’ve got to clean it up when he’s out there starting because he’s been giving us some really, really good quality starts.” The Orioles' best scoring opportunity against Graveman came in the third inning, when they loaded the bases with three consecutive one-out singles, but only managed one run in the inning. After loading the bases that inning, Graveman (8-7) retired 14 of the final 16 hitters he faced. Gausman (3-9) took a tied game into the sixth inning before a leadoff walk to Stephen Vogt led to the go-ahead run. Gausman allowed a pair of two-out singles, the latter an RBI single by Billy Butler that scored Vogt. Vogt tied the game a 1-1 in the fourth inning, opening the frame with a solo homer to right field on a 1-2 fastball from Gausman that caught too much of the plate. “I was trying to throw a fastball up,” Gausman said. “I felt like I had him set up for it and didn’t get it up there. Kind of left it middle-middle, really, and I think he was looking for a fastball and obviously didn’t miss it.” The A’s scored the eventual winning run off right-hander Logan Ondrusek, a reverse-split reliever who entered the game to face a lefty-heavy top of the Oakland order in the seventh. But a leadoff walk to No. 9 hitter Ryon Healy hurt Ondrusek, who allowed a two-out RBI single to Vogt to give Oakland a 3-1 lead. Machado power surge continues: Third baseman Manny Machado followed his three-homer game Sunday in Chicago with another home run in the eighth inning Monday. Machado – who received boos from the crowd during every at-bat from fans still angry about the dustup he had with former A’s third baseman Josh Donaldson two years ago – punished a 3-2 pitch from Oakland reliever Ryan Dull and sent it an estimated 446 feet deep into the elevated left-center field of the Coliseum. Machado, who now has 26 homers this season, homered in each of the first three innings on Sunday. “Since he’s come up to the big leagues, he’s been quite an impressive player,” Jones said of Machado. “He’s only going to get better and better. That’s the scary part.” Orioles score unlikely run on infield popup: It’s rare that a run scores on a popup to the first baseman, but there’s so much foul ground at Oakland Coliseum that that’s how the Orioles plated their first run in the third inning. The Orioles loaded the bases against Graveman with three straight one-out singles by J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones and Hyun Soo Kim. Manny Machado then lifted a foul ball that Oakland first baseman Yonder Alonso tracked down in foul ground near the Orioles bullpen. Hardy tagged from third base, beating Alonso’s throw home to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. http://m.orioles.mlb.com/news/article/194431834/athletics-edge-orioles-in-opener-at-coliseum/ Machado homers again, but O's fall to A's By Mark Chiarelli and Rick Eymer / MLB.com August 9, 2016 OAKLAND -- Kendall Graveman threw seven strong innings, Stephen Vogt snapped out of a slump with two RBIs, and the A's held on to beat the Orioles, 3-2, on Monday night to snap a three-game losing streak at the Coliseum. The loss dropped Baltimore (63-48) into a tie for first place in the American League East with the Blue Jays after Toronto beat the Rays, 7-5. Oakland (49-63) won for just the second time in its past 10 games, and did so behind the suddenly reliable Graveman, who won his career-high eighth game. The sinkerballer allowed one run on six hits over seven innings and is 7-1 over his past 13 starts. Baltimore mounted one serious threat against the righty, scoring a run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Manny Machado after loading the bases with one out, but Chris Davisgrounded out to end the inning.

  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 12, 2019 THIS DAY in REDS HISTORY 1888-The Reds Begin a Six-Week Exhibition Tour Through Texas, Louisiana and Alabama
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 12, 2019 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1888-The Reds begin a six-week exhibition tour through Texas, Louisiana and Alabama MLB.COM Duke returns to Reds on one-year deal Cincy designates right-hander Lopez for assignment in corresponding move By Mark Sheldon MLB.com @m_sheldon Feb. 11th, 2019 GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- This past offseason featured multiple trades by the Reds, but Monday officially marked their first free-agent acquisition, when lefty reliever Zach Duke signed a one-year, $2 million contract. To make room for Duke, right-handed pitcher Jose Lopez was designated for assignment. Duke, who will turn 36 in April, agreed to terms with Cincinnati on Feb. 2. The club will get added veteran presence in its bullpen. He is a 14-year Major League veteran. In 72 games combined for the Twins and Mariners last season, Duke was 5-5 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Over 52 innings, he allowed 57 hits including one home run with 21 walks and 51 strikeouts. Left-handed hitters batted .220 against him, compared to .311 by right-handed hitters. But the Reds do not view the ground-ball pitcher as a one-out left-handed situational reliever. "He's a guy that likes to pitch a full inning and expects to be in there to pitch a full inning," Reds president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "He's had a lot of success against lefties, but we are comfortable that he's not necessarily going to be a one-out guy." Duke is returning to the Reds after pitching for them during the 2013 season, a stint that helped turn his career around after being released by the Nationals earlier that year.
