News
The Red Sox withstood two home runs by Nick Johnson in a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Johnson's first multi-homer game since May 28, 2006, was not enough to prevent the first-place Orioles from losing for the third time in four games. With the potential tying run on second base in the eighth, Johnson ended the inning with a strikeout. He finished 2 for 3 with three RBI and one walk. Talking about his homers, Johnson said, "Fastballs. Got some pitches. They were in the middle of the plate and I put some good swings on it."

Tolleson put the Orioles on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer off starter Felix Doubront. It was his first homer of the season and first in an Orioles uniform. It was his second career homer. Tolleson went 1 for 3 in the game with a walk and is batting .313 on the year.

News
Orioles starting pitcher Jake Arrieta dropped a third straight decision during Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox. Arrieta (2-5) was locked in a 2-all game before surrendering a solo homer to Daniel Nava in the sixth inning. Arrieta was lifted after allowing a Scott Podsednik single. He was replaced by Luis Ayala, who immediately served up a two-run homer to Kelly Shoppach. Arrieta was charged with four runs on eight hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out two. "Well, I think four out of my six innings I allowed the leadoff guy on base," Arrieta said. "When you're pitching with a guy on and no outs to start off an inning, you put yourself in a tight situation."

News
Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel had his knee drained earlier in the week but showed no signs of the injury on Friday night against the Royals. He worked six scoreless innings, giving up five hits while striking out seven in the 8-2 win. The right-hander threw 68 of his 104 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 2.78. Hammel also walked one while picking up his sixth win of the season.

News
Baltimore closer Jim Johnson converted yet another save opportunity on Tuesday night against the Red Sox. Johnson went 1-2-3 in the ninth and needed only eight pitches to do so for his 16th save of the season. Johnson currently leads the majors in saves with 16. His ERA is at 0.87 on the year.

News
When Orioles starter Brian Matusz is on his game, he can be very good for Baltimore. When he’s bad, he can be very bad. Tuesday night against Boston, the former top prospect came out to pitch as Matusz was extremely sharp against the Red Sox. Matusz recorded a season-high nine strikeouts and his only issue was throwing too many pitches and lasting just one out into the seventh inning in the victory over Boston. Matusz needed 101 pitches to go 6 1/3 innings, but was quite good in improving .500 at 4-4 on the year. Matusz allowed just one earned run on two base hits – including one homer – and one walk over his time on the mound. His ERA is now at 4.86 on the year after the solid outing. "Just having confidence with all my pitches," he said. "Attacking the zone, letting guys put it in play. That's been the key."

News
The Baltimore Orioles and outfielder Adam Jones are close to an extension that would give him the most lucrative contract in franchise history, CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman confirmed. FoxSports.com was the first to report the deal on Friday that would exceed Miguel Tejada's six-year, $72 million contract he signed in 2004. Nick Markakis is currently the highest paid with his six-year, $66.1 million pact from 2009.

News
Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts started his Double-A rehab assignment with Bowie on Wednesday night against Richmond. Roberts started at second base and led off in his first baseball game of any kind since May 16, 2011. Roberts had two plate appearances and walked both times. He didn't even swing the bat as he saw just one strike. He scored a run and had two defensive assists in the field with no issues as he was removed in the fourth inning, as expected. Roberts said he felt fine immediately following the performance, reports MASNsports.com.
