Machado, Wieters plate 8 as O's deny Nats

BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado lit up the scoreboard all night and Matt Wieters contributed a late three-run homer to help the Orioles slug their way past the Nationals, 10-8, at Nationals Park on Wednesday night. Both Wieters and Machado -- who finished with four hits, including his 29th homer -- drove in four runs in support of left-handed starter Wade Miley, who was acquired by Baltimore last month and earned his first win as an Oriole with five-plus innings of two-run ball.

The Nationals fell short despite the continued dominance of rookie center fielder Trea Turner, who followed up Tuesday's 4-for-4 performance with a hit in each of his first four at-bats on Wednesday, tying a franchise record shared by Andre Dawson, Ron Hunt and Dmitri Young by recording a hit in eight consecutive plate appearances.
