Machado powers Orioles

-

BOSTON — Manny Machado slugged a long home run out of Fenway Park, drove in two runs and made three solid plays at third base in his first game against Boston since a dustup with the Red Sox just over a week ago, carrying the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-2 victory Monday night.

Caleb Joseph added an RBI double for the Orioles, who beat Boston for the fourth time in six games this season.

In the teams’ last meeting at Camden Yards, reliever Matt Barnes sent a pitch that whizzed behind Machado’s head and hit the slugger’s bat. Barnes was suspended four games and fined. Machado had irked the Red Sox with a late slide into second baseman Dustin Pedroia’s left leg two days earlier.

Dylan Bundy (4-1) took a shutout into the eighth inning before being pulled after a run on three straight hits. He allowed two runs and five hits, walking four and striking out two.

REDS 4, PIRATES 3 (10): Billy Hamilton hit an RBI double in the 10th inning to lift host Cincinnati. Tucker Barnhart walked with one out in the 10th. Hamilton lined a double to right with a man on second, giving the Reds consecutiv­e wins for the first time since completing a four-game winning streak on April 12.

BREWERS 7, CARDINALS 5 (10): Travis Shaw and Jonathan Villar each hit a tape-measure home run, and visiting Milwaukee won in 10 innings.

BLUE JAYS 7, YANKEES 1: Ryan Goins hit a two-run sacrifice fly, the first in Toronto’s 40-year history, to go along with a two-run homer that led Marco Estrada and the Blue Jays over host New York for their season-high third straight win.

TIGERS 7, INDIANS 1: Tyler Collins hit a three-run homer and Daniel Norris gave up only one run, helping host Detroit open the series with a win.

METS 7, BRAVES 5: Michael Conforto homered and drove in three runs, and visiting New York scored five times in the fourth inning off Atlanta’s Julio Teheran.

RAYS 4, MARLINS 2: Jake Odorizzi returned from the disabled list to combine with four relievers on a four-hitter and help Tampa Bay prevail on the road.

ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 1: Eric Hosmer and Jorge Bonifacio hit two-run homers, and host Kansas City snapped a nine-game losing streak.

PHILLIES 10, CUBS 2: Tommy Joseph hit an early three-run homer, Aaron Altherr had three RBIs and visiting Philadelph­ia routed Chicago.
