Showalter on Schoop and a 6-4 win

X-rays on Jonathan Schoop's right hand this afternoon came back negative and he's day-to-day. Manager Buck Showalter had no idea whether Schoop would play this weekend.

Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchison hit Schoop in the bottom of the first inning of the Orioles' 6-4 win at Camden Yards, a game delayed 3 hours and 25 minutes by rain. Schoop said the hand was swollen and stiff, and he'll arrive early on Friday for treatments.

"It was a little numb running around the bases," he said. "I was hoping it would feel better, but it didn't."

The Orioles met their latest weather challenge by pulling within three games of .500 with three left. Starter Tyler Wilson lasted one inning before play was halted and six relievers covered for him, with closer Zach Britton recording his 35th save.

"It is what it is," Showalter said. "There's really good reasons why MLB and us and Toronto had to do it that way. No other way around it.

"Unbelievable job by Nicole (McFadyen) and her group. I can't tell you how hard it is to do what they did. Watching them since really last night before we left here until the time we're going to leave here. I wish they could take a day off, but that was pretty impressive. They're the best I've seen. They do some kind of job. It's so hard and that field was wet to start with. I was surprised they got it in the shape they did."

Manny Machado homered twice and became only the fifth Oriole to record a season of 20 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases. He swiped two bags today to reach the milestone.

"I could tell early in the game he was runnerish," Showalter said. "It reminds me what it's like to be 23. Your legs actually feel that good after 158 games.

"You think about the time spent here the last two days. I'm real proud of them after that first game, the way they came back and responded. Obviously Manny, he was the difference-maker today on both sides of the ball."

Machado and Brady Anderson are the only Orioles with 30-plus home runs and 20-plus steals in the same season.

"Brady was a well above-average defender, really good thrower, came to play every day," Showalter said. "It's something Manny should be very proud of and we're proud of him. It's hard to do. You can see why so few people have been able to do it."

T.J. McFarland picked up his first win this season by holding the Jays to one run over a season-high four innings.

"That was huge, but that's T.J.," Showalter said. "It's little things you take this time of year. He got his ERA under 5. He's not a guy if you're looking for hits-to-innings and a bunch of strikeouts, but he's a very valuable guy on a club. He's been very instrumental the last three years on our club.

"Good for him. You like to see good people leave with a good taste in their mouth. Not to say he won't pitch again. He pitched well against the Yankees."

Paul Janish replaced Schoop and delivered an RBI single in the second inning.

"Paulie, he's a pro," Showalter said. "He's the kind of guy that everybody needs. I'm glad we got to see what R.J. (Ron Johnson) and them have been raving about all year and what other teams that have had him have been raving about."
