Playing in front of one of their larger crowds of the year that included a slew of franchise greats, the Orioles put on a performance Saturday that has become all too familiar this season. Camden Yards drew an announced crowd of 30,078 on the night the Orioles inducted five-time All-Star Adam Jones into their Hall of Fame, but the standing ovations eventually gave way to smatterings of boos. The club officially welcomed Jones, fellow outfielder Joe Orsulak and longtime broadcaster Joe Davis into the Orioles Hall of Fame in an on-field ceremony before the game. Among those in attendance were former manager Buck Showalter and players such as Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Palmer, Chris Davis, Nick Markakis, Jim Johnson, Al Bumbry and Melvin Mora.

The Athletics placed ace Luis Severino on the injured list Saturday and called up Hogan Harris from Triple-A.

Tomoyuki Sugano (9-5), a 35-year-old rookie from Japan, allowed one run and five hits in seven innings. Yennier Cano yielded a run in the eighth before Keegan Akin closed it out with a scoreless ninth for his second save. Gunnar Henderson drew a two-out walk from rookie J.T. Ginn in the first and Rutschman followed with his ninth home run. Mountcastle hit his third homer after being activated from the 60-day injured list prior to the game.

Fans are becoming increasingly vocal in their displeasure with the owners of their favorite teams.

Sitting at 90 pitches through 7.0 innings, Jacob Lopez was finally given the green light to come back out for the eighth Thursday afternoon. The new challenge proved to be a tall one for the Athletics' 27-year-old southpaw, but not one he couldn't handle. Nathaniel Lowe led off the eighth inning for the Washington Nationals, initially keeping his bat on his shoulder as Lopez delivered one ball and two strikes. Lowe fouled off three pitches before taking ball two, fouling away another, then taking ball three.

Colby Thomas hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire since making his big league debut on June 30.

The rookie sent the ball 406 feet to center field, clearing the fence for his first career MLB home run. Thomas came through with a sacrifice fly in the fourth that made it a 4-0 ballgame.

Wednesday's start was a long time coming for Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli. The former first-round pick in 2020 made his first Major League start since 2022 when he took the ball against the Athletics at Nationals Park. Then, he suffered an elbow injury that led to Tommy John surgery, and he needed 2023 and 2024 to fully recover. The Nationals didn't want to push him this season, so they kept him in the minor leagues until Wednesday.

Nick Kurtz made his MLB debut less than a year atter being drafted fourth overall by Athletics. Kurtz has 23 home runs, 61 RBIs and a 1.035 OPS in his first 75 games. WASHINGTON — Nick Kurtz's dominance has been so startlingly sudden, so consistent and enduring that it's challenging to pinpoint exactly when the Athletics realized just what they had on their hands. It'd be understandable if that moment came in spring training, when the 6-5, 240-pound Kurtz showed up just seven months after he was drafted fourth overall out of Wake Forest and immediately displayed a mindset beyond his years, and a plate approach more suited to a player a decade into his major league career.
