            Machado

            homers as                        CULTURE CLASH


            Orioles beat


            Rangers 6-5



            By The Associated Press
            BALTIMORE  (AP)  —  Manny
            Machado  homered  be-
            fore  making  an  early  exit,
            Adam Jones hit a three-run
            double  and  the  Baltimore
            Orioles rallied past the Tex-
            as Rangers 6-5 Sunday.
            Machado  was  removed
            in  the  fifth  inning  by  man-
            ager  Buck  Showalter  after
            a  26-minute  rain  delay,
            taking  the  All-Star  short-
            stop off a sloppy field. The
            last-place  Orioles  are  en-
            tertaining  offers  for  Mach-
            ado,  who  is  expected  to
            be  dealt  before  the  July
            31 non-waiver trade dead-
            line.  After  being  replaced
            by Jace Peterson, Macha-
            do sat in the dugout, wear-
            ing a sweatshirt and joking
            with his teammates.
            In a matchup between two
            teams  staggering  into  the
            All-Star break, Texas got a
            first-inning grand slam from
            rookie  Ronald  Guzman
            but quickly gave the lead
            away in losing for the sev-
            enth time in nine games.
            Machado      ignited   the
            comeback  with  his  24th
            homer,  and  Jones’  bases-
            clearing double in the third
            off Mike Minor (6-6) put Bal-
            timore ahead to stay.
            Tanner  Scott  (1-1)  earned
            his  first  big  league  win.
            Zach  Britton  worked  the
            ninth for his fourth save.

            HOUSTON  (AP)  —  John
            Hicks  hit  one  of  Detroit’s
            four  home  runs  off  Justin
            Verlander,  and  the  Tigers
            snapped a six-game losing
            streak.
            Verlander  (9-5)  struck  out
            12  in  six  innings  in  his  first   Shifting culture set to play out in All-Star Game
            start  against  his  former
