Orioles 11, Athletics 3
BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado hit two of Baltimore's six home runs, including a grand slam, as the Orioles took the three-game series against the Oakland Athletics with a 11-3 victory Sunday.
Jonathan Schoop and Pedro Alvarez hit back-to-back homers in the second. Schoop went 3 for 4 and extended his hitting streak to 11 games, one shy of his career high, while the home run by Alvarez reached Eutaw Street.
Mark Trumbo launched a two-run shot in the third. Four of Baltimore's homers came off Oakland starter Kendall Graveman (1-4), who lasted just 2 2/3 innings. Joey Rickard got a solo shot off A's reliever Ryan Dull in the fourth.
Machado tied Trumbo for the team lead with nine homers and also matched a career-high with six RBIs. It was the most homers the A's allowed since 1994.
Oakland won the first game of a doubleheader Saturday before dropping the next two. The A's are 2-7 over its past nine games on the road. Josh Reddick tied Oakland's franchise record with eight straight hits.
Chris Tillman (4-1) recovered from a shaky start to go 6 1/3 innings for Baltimore. He allowed three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts, including four of the final five batters he faced.
Reddick got his sixth straight hit with an RBI single in the first. A Baltimore chop by Danny Valencia and double by Yonder Alonso off Tillman later that inning provided a 3-0 lead.
Entering the game, Tillman had allowed a total of three runs over his past three starts (19 2/3 innings). Machado gave him a boost with a two-run shot in the first.
The homers by Alvarez and Schoop then gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead before Trumbo hit another two-run shot in the third. Graveman allowed six runs on five hits on 58 pitches.
Rickard provided the 7-3 lead with his third home run of the season in the fourth before Machado hit the grand slam in the eighth off J.B. Wendelken, who was promoted from Triple-A Nashville prior to the game.
