SARASOTA, Fla. -- Orioles shortstop Manny Machado hit a grand slam, his first home run of the spring, off Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty in the third inning of Wednesday's Grapefruit League game.
Machado, who was 3-for-7 with a double in his first three spring games, hit a 1-1 pitch off the Cardinals' right-hander into the left-center-field seats.
The home run drove in Caleb Joseph, Colby Rasmus and Jonathan Schoop and gave the Orioles a 4-0 lead.
Machado hit three grand slams last season in August when he was named the American League Player of the Month.
