Manny Machado had been waiting all season for a game like this. The third baseman entered June 20 with a .214 batting average.
Machado's night was nearly perfect. He went 4-for-4, including two home runs and even started an unusual 5-4-6 double play.
Machado scored the eventual game-winning run in the seventh, when he nearly had a third home run but doubled instead.
Machado's drive to right almost went into the seats, but just missed leaving the park. Right after his double, center fielder Adam Jones drove him in with another double, and the Orioles went on to beat the Cleveland Indians 6-5, before 22,891 at Oriole Park.
