Orioles outlast Dodgers in 14 innings
LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Schoop hit a two-run double in the 14th inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.
Mark Trumbo added two home runs and a double, and he scored three runs. Trumbo now has 26 homers, one more than the Chicago Cubs' Kris Bryant for the major league lead.
Mychal Givens (6-1) pitched one scoreless inning for the win, and Zach Britton escaped a bases-loaded jam for his 25th save.
Chase Utley set a career high with six hits, and Adrian Gonzalez added three hits and two RBIs, but the Dodgers' sustained their second consecutive loss after winning 15 of 20.
The pitching staffs combined for 36 strikeouts, breaking a 20-year-old stadium record.
Baltimore broke a 4-4 tie in the 14th against right-hander Chris Hatcher (5-4).
Manny Machado and Chris Davis singled with one out. After Hatcher struck out Trumbo, Schoop hit a pop fly to short center field. Center fielder Trayce Thompson tried to make a diving catch, but the ball bounced in front of him and deflected off his glove. That deflection forced left fielder Howie Kendrick into an awkward position while retrieving the ball, and Machado and Davis scored.
The Dodgers had a chance in the bottom of the 14th against Britton. Gonzalez doubled to left-center field with one out. Thompson walked, and Kendrick hit into a fielder's choice that sent Gonzalez to third base.
With the Dodgers out of non-pitching reserves, Orioles manager Buck Showalter ordered Britton to walk Yasmani Grandal intentionally to load the bases and force Hatcher to the plate. Hatcher grounded out to end the game.
Gonzalez's two-run single gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead in the fifth inning. Utley began the rally with a one-out double off the warning track in right field, then Corey Seager walked.
Right-hander Kevin Gausman struck out Justin Turner before Gonzalez blooped a pop fly into short center field. Center fielder Adam Jones tried to make a sliding backhanded catch, but the ball landed in front of him. Utley and Seager scored, and Gonzalez took second base on the throw to home plate.
Gonzalez moved to third on a wild pitch but stayed there when Gausman struck out Thompson.
Trumbo tied the score in the top of the sixth with a solo drive into the Dodgers' bullpen down the left field line off an 89 mph slider from reliever Casey Fien.
The Baltimore right fielder's second home run of the game prevented Gausman from taking his seventh loss in eight decisions. Gausman allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings. He issued only one walk while collecting six strikeouts with a fastball that reached 98 mph.
Dodgers starter Bud Norris gave up three runs on six hits in five innings.
