All-Star Manny Machado snapped a 1-1 tie with a three-run homer in the fifth inning and the Orioles went on to improve to 3-5 on their nine-game road trip.

The precocious shortstop then hustled for a triple on his drive down the right field line off Odrisamer Despaigne (0-1) in the seventh.

Machado, a newly named All-Star starter who turns 24 on Wednesday, sent a 2-2 pitch from Maeda into the upper corner of the left-field pavilion, putting the AL East-leading Orioles ahead 4-1.

With the large number of pitches Gallardo threw, Showalter was vexed.

Baltimore jumped on Urias for three runs in the second inning, including Hardy’s two-run double. “It’s not hard. Obviously, I would like to be here”.

“It was just good to see us respond”, Roberts said.

Norris was 3-7 with a 4.22 ERA with the last-place Braves, but he posted a 2.15 ERA in five starts since returning to the Atlanta rotation and held Colorado to two hits over six scoreless innings in his Dodgers debut on Friday. “I know he puts a lot of emphasis and a lot of pride into it”. Kind of over-officiating something that’s not there. Better be 100 percent sure before you make that. “But they called me early and said, ‘Hey we have a hole in our rotation and we’re looking for a veteran guy.’ …”

The Orioles were just 2-for-20 off Dodgers pitching after they took the 5-2 lead.

Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton homered twice to match his career high with five RBIs, powering the Marlins to a 5-2 victory that end the New York Mets’ five-game streak. Jansen ranks second among NL relievers with 25 saves.

The crowd laughed, the bird showed us what being American really mean, and we learned that even dumb birds don’t want to watch mid-season baseball. The big thing is trying to fix what’s going wrong and just working and moving forward. Knowing him, he wanted to come and prove a point today.

Seager extended his hitting streak to 18 games with the double, tying Bill Sudakis (July-August 1969) for the second-longest rookie hitting streak in franchise history.
