BALTIMORE — Manny Machado homered before making an early exit, Adam Jones hit a three-run double and the Baltimore Orioles rallied past the Texas Rangers 6-5 Sunday.
Machado was removed in the fifth inning by manager Buck Showalter after a 26-minute rain delay, taking the All-Star shortstop off a sloppy field. The last-place Orioles are entertaining offers for Machado, who is expected to be dealt before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
After being replaced by Jace Peterson, Machado sat in the dugout, wearing 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 seventh 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 Baltimore ahead to stay.
Tanner Scott (1-1) earned his first big league win. Zach Britton worked the ninth for his fourth save.
TIGERS 6, ASTROS 3
HOUSTON — 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 start against his former team. But he allowed a season-high six runs while dropping his third straight decision.
The 35-year-old Verlander earned 183 wins in 13 seasons with the Tigers. He was traded to Houston last year.
Jeimer Candelario, Niko Goodrum and Jim Adduci also homered for Detroit. Drew VerHagen (1-2) got the win.
Yuli Gurriel scored two runs and hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth for the Astros. The defending World Series champions head into the All-Star break at 64-35.
CARDINALS 6, REDS 4
ST. LOUIS — Matt Carpenter and Dexter Fowler homered for St. Louis, making interim manager Mike Shildt a winner in his first game.
Shildt took over for Mike Matheny, who was fired late Saturday after six-plus seasons at the helm.
John Gant (3-3) picked up the win with four hitless innings. Jordan Hicks got three outs for his second save.
Cincinnati had won four of five. It is 35-26 since beginning the season 8-27.
Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (4-2) was tagged for six runs in 3 1/3 innings.
RED SOX 5, BLUE JAYS 2
BOSTON — Xander Bogaerts homered in his first at-bat a day after hitting a game-ending grand slam, and the Red Sox entered the All-Star break with their best record since 1949.
Bogaerts and Brock Holt each drove in two runs for the major league-leading Red Sox (68-30), who have won 12 of their last 13 games.
Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run homer for the Blue Jays (43-52). Toronto has dropped seven of 10.
Brandon Workman (2-0) got the win and All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 30th save.
Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman (2-7) was charged with four runs, three earned, and five hits in five innings.
INDIANS 5, YANKEES 2
CLEVELAND — Michael Brantley homered leading off the eighth inning, and the Indians beat the Yankees for a split of their four-game series.
One of six Cleveland players who will be in Washington for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, Brantley broke a 2-2 tie by belting a pitch from Chad Green (5-2) into the seats in right for his 12th homer. The Indians added two more runs in the inning on a sacrifice fly by Yan Gomes and Green’s wild pitch.
Carlos Carrasco (11-5) earned his first win in relief since July 19, 2014. Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 20th save.
Neil Walker homered for the Yankees, who enter the break 29 games over .500 and have the majors’ second-best record.
PIRATES 7, BREWERS 6, 10 INNINGS
PITTSBURGH — Josh Bell hit a two-run double in the 10th inning, giving Pittsburgh a five-game sweep of Milwaukee and its sixth straight win overall.
With rain falling, Gregory Polanco and Colin Moran singled to put runners on the corners for Bell, who drove a pitch from Dan Jennings (3-3) into the gap in right-center. The relay throw beat Moran home but trickled through the legs of catcher Erik Kratz.
Brett Phillips drove in four runs for Milwaukee, including an RBI single in the 10th off Tanner Anderson (1-0).
The Pirates scored twice in the ninth off Milwaukee closer Corey Knebel. Pinch-hitter David Freese tied the game with an RBI triple.
BRAVES 5, DIAMONDBACKS 1
ATLANTA — Julio Teheran pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings, and the Braves used a four-run third inning to get the win.
It was a needed confidence boost before the All-Star break for Atlanta, which had lost eight of 10. Teheran (7-6) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked three.
Arizona has lost 10 of 16, but it began the day leading the NL West by one-half game.
Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin (6-4) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out three, a season low.
MARLINS 10, PHILLIES 5
MIAMI — Brian Anderson hit a three-run homer in Miami’s eight-run fifth inning.
Miami totaled eight hits in the fifth against three pitchers. Cameron Maybin homered and singled in the inning, and Justin Bour had two singles, with his second hit driving in the final two runs for an 8-5 lead.
The rally lasted so long Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana headed for the dugout after the second out, apparently thinking the inning was over. Instead Miami scored four more runs.
Cesar Hernandez hit a bases-loaded triple during a five-run fourth for Philadelphia. Edubray Ramos (3-1) got the loss.
The Marlins totaled 15 hits. Elieser Hernandez (2-5) threw a scoreless fifth for the win.
NATIONALS 6, METS 1
NEW YORK — Daniel Murphy and Trea Turner each hit a two-run single in Washington’s five-run seventh inning.
Matt Adams added two hits and scored a run as Washington salvaged a split of its four-game set against New York. A preseason favorite to win the NL East and contend for a World Series championship, the disappointing Nationals hit the All-Star break with a 48-48 record, good for third in the division.
Jeremy Hellickson (4-1) pitched six crisp innings in his second straight win. The veteran right-hander allowed one run and two hits.
New York wasted a solid start by Corey Oswalt, who allowed two hits in five innings. Anthony Swarzak (0-2) got the loss.
WHITE SOX 10, ROYALS 1
CHICAGO — Daniel Palka and Yoan Moncada homered, Lucas Giolito tossed two-hit ball into the seventh inning and the White Sox won for the third time in four games.
Moncada had three hits and scored three times a day after leaving Saturday’s 5-0 loss with a bruised right knee. Palka also had three hits and drove in two runs.
Adalberto Mondesi homered leading off the eighth for the last-place Royals, who are 2-11 in July. Burch Smith (0-1) allowed two runs and three hits in two innings.
Giolito (6-8) permitted just two hits in 6 1/3 scoreless innings.
