BALTIMORE-- Manny Machado came up with two of the biggest plays on offense for the Orioles in their 5-3 victory over the Rays on Sunday, a big reason the Orioles remain the only undefeated team in the Majors.
Machado's two-run homer proved to be the key hit in a four-run second inning that gave the Orioles a lead they never lost. Then, after the Rays cut a four-run deficit to 4-3, Machado came through again in the eighth.
The third baseman completed a 4-for-4 day at the plate with a leadoff double to left-center.
