Baseball Roundup: Machado Homers O’s to Win

Baltimore — Manny Machado homered before making an early exit, Adam Jones hit a three-run double and the Baltimore Orioles rallied past the Texas Rangers, 6-5, on Sunday.

Machado was removed in the fifth inning by manager Buck Showalter after a 26-minute rain delay, taking the All-Star shortstop off a sloppy field. The last-place Orioles are entertaining offers for Machado, who is expected to be dealt before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

After being replaced by Jace Peterson, Machado sat in the dugout, wearing a sweatshirt and joking with his teammates.

Tigers 6, Astros 3

Houston — John Hicks hit one of Detroit’s four home runs off Justin Verlander, and the Tigers snapped a six-game losing streak.

Verlander (9-5) struck out 12 in six innings in his first start against his former team. But he allowed a season-high six runs while dropping his third straight decision.

Cardinals 6, Reds 4

St. Louis — Matt Carpenter and Dexter Fowler homered for St. Louis, making interim manager Mike Shildt a winner in his first game.

Shildt took over for Mike Matheny, who was fired late Saturday after six-plus seasons at the helm.

Indians 5, Yankees 2

Cleveland — Michael Brantley homered leading off the eighth inning, and the Indians beat the Yankees for a split of their four-game series.

One of six Cleveland players who will be in Washington for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, Brantley broke a 2-2 tie by belting a pitch from Chad Green (5-2) into the seats in right for his 12th homer.

Cubs 7, Padres 4

San Diego — Jon Lester won for the eighth time in nine starts, Jason Heyward drove in two runs and the Cubs completed a three-game series sweep.

The Cubs jumped to a 5-0 lead after two innings against rookie left-hander Eric Lauer (5-6), who came within one out of his first complete game in a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in his previous start.

Pirates 7, Brewers 6 (10)

Pittsburgh — Josh Bell hit a two-run double in the 10th inning, giving Pittsburgh a five-game sweep of Milwaukee and its sixth straight win overall.

With rain falling, Gregory Polanco and Colin Moran singled to put runners on the corners for Bell, who drove a pitch from Dan Jennings (3-3) into the gap in right-center. The relay throw beat Moran home but trickled through the legs of catcher Erik Kratz.

Dodgers 5, Angels 3

Los Angeles — Yasmani Grandal and Enrique Hernandez homered, leading the Dodgers to the split in the Freeway Series. Each team won three games in the season series, with four decided by one run.

Rockies 4, Mariners 3

Denver — All-Star Trevor Story led off the ninth inning with his 20th homer, closing out Colorado’s three-game series sweep.

Athletics 6, Giants 2

San Francisco — Stephen Piscotty homered for the fifth time in nine games, leading Oakland to the victory.

Braves 5, Diamondbacks 1

Atlanta — Julio Teheran pitched 6⅓ scoreless innings, and the Braves used a four-run third inning to get the win.

Marlins 10, Phillies 5

Miami — Brian Anderson hit a three-run homer in Miami’s eight-run fifth inning.

Nationals 6, Mets 1

New York — Daniel Murphy and Trea Turner each hit a two-run single in Washington’s five-run seventh inning.

Twins 11, Rays 7 (10)

Minneapolis — Brian Dozier hit a grand slam for Minnesota in the 10th inning, capping a testy, back-and-forth finish that featured four lead changes from the bottom of the seventh on.

White Sox 10, Royals 1

Chicago — Daniel Palka and Yoan Moncada homered, Lucas Giolito tossed two-hit ball into the seventh inning and the White Sox won for the third time in four games.

Moncada had three hits and scored three times a day after leaving Saturday’s 5-0 loss with a bruised right knee. Palka also had three hits and drove in two runs.

Adalberto Mondesi homered leading off the eighth for the last-place Royals, who are 2-11 in July. Burch Smith (0-1) allowed two runs and three hits in two innings.

Giolito (6-8) permitted just two hits in 6 1/3 scoreless innings.
