Machado Hits 2 HRS for O’s
Carlsbad’s Ross Leads Red Sox
BALTIMORE — Manny Machado thrust himself into the Orioles’ record book in his second major league game, hitting two home runs and driving in four runs to carry Baltimore past the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Friday night.
After going 2-for-4 in his debut Thursday, Machado hit a solo shot in the fifth inning and a three-run drive in the sixth. Both homers came off Luke Hochevar (7-10) and landed in the left-field seats.
At 20 years and 35 days old, Machado is the youngest Oriole to have a multihomer game. Boog Powell was 20 years and 258 days old when he homered twice against Minnesota in May 1962.
RED SOX 3, INDIANS 2: In Cleveland, Clay Buchholz pitched a two-hitter and Carlsbad’s Cody Ross hit a two-run homer as Boston broke a three-game losing streak by beating Cleveland.
Buchholz (10-3) gave up one earned run in his second complete game of the season and fifth of his career.
Ross broke a 1-1 tie with a 420-foot shot over the wall in center field off Chris Seddon (0-1) in the sixth inning.
TIGERS 6, RANGERS 2: In Arlington, Texas, Austin Jackson hit an inside-thepark home run and a triple as Detroit beat West-leading Texas.
Jackson got his first career inside-the-park homer in the seventh inning after right fielder Nelson Cruz made a diving attempt to catch the ball, which bounced in front of him and then over his glove and to the wall. Jackson never slowed and scored easily.
WHITE SOX 4, ATHLETICS 3: In Chicago, Jordan Danks hit his first major league homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Chicago overcame a three-run deficit to beat Oakland.
With two outs in the ninth, Danks sent the first pitch he saw from Pat Neshek (1-1) deep into the right-field seats for a solo shot.
RAYS 12, TWINS 6: In Minneapolis, Matt Joyce hit a tworun homer and a two-run double, and Jose Molina drove in three runs as Tampa Bay beat Minnesota to keep pace in the crowded American League wild-card race with its ninth win in its last 12 games.
Jeremy Hellickson (7-7) won for the third time in his last four starts despite lasting only five innings. He had an 8-1 lead after a six-run second by the Rays, who batted around twice and won their fourth straight.
YANKEES 10, BLUE JAYS 4: In Toronto, Ichiro Suzuki matched a career high with five RBIs, and Freddy Garcia won in Toronto for the first time in more than a decade, leading New York to a victory over the Blue Jays.
Mark Teixeira hit his 22nd homer. Garcia (6-5) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings.
ANGELS 6, MARINERS 5: In Anaheim, Calif., rookie sensation Mike Trout tied a career high with five RBIs, including a three-run homer and a rare two-run sacrifice fly, and pinch runner Peter Bourjos scored on a wild pitch in the ninth inning to give Los Angeles a victory over Seattle.
