Jones and Machado homer as Orioles rally from six runs down to win

This time, the comeback was complete. One night after they fell a run short after being seven runs down, the Orioles rallied from behind 6-0 to win.

Adam Jones hit a three-run homer and Manny Machado a go-ahead two-run homer as the Orioles rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-7 in front of 36,985 at Camden Yards.

The Orioles won for the sixth time in seven games to improve to 52-50. They have scored 37 runs in their last seven games and 16 runs in this series.

Detroit once again got off to a fast start. They took a 6-0 lead against Wei-Yin Chen by the top of the fourth. Chen lasted just 3 1/3 innings to tie his shortest start of his career. He allowed 10 hits and six runs, including a two-run homer to J.D. Martinez and back-to-back solo shots to James McCann and Jefry Marte. Chen had allowed three or fewer runs in 11 straight starts.

Over the last two games, O's starters allowed 20 hits and 11 runs in 6 2/3 innings. In the previous six games, the starters were 4-0 with a 1.25 ERA. The Tigers batters are 12-for-18 the first time through the order in this series.

The O's cut their deficit to 6-1 in the fourth when Matt Wieters doubled and scored on an error. Jones' three-run blast in the fifth made it 6-4. It was his 17th homer of the year and his 100th at Oriole Park. It was also Jones' 183rd as an Oriole, as he moved past Ken Singleton into seventh place on the club's all-time list. The O's closed to 6-5 in that inning when Chris Davis singled, went to second on a walk and third on a hit and scored on an error.

After a leadoff walk in the last of the sixth, right-hander Jose Valdez came in for Detroit to make his major league debut. He would face four batters and not retire any of them. His first career hitter was Machado, who promptly hit a two-run homer for a 7-6 lead. It was his 22nd homer. Three batters later, Davis' single made it 8-6.

Detroit closed to within 8-7 in the seventh but also had a runner cut down in the plate in that inning on an excellent relay from Jones in center to second baseman Jonathan Schoop and on to Wieters at the plate, who made a nice catch of a short-hop and tag for the important out.

Meanwhile, on the mound for the Orioles, Mike Wright replaced Chen in the fourth but exited with a left calf cramp while pitching in the fifth. That brought on right-hander Mychal Givens, who was recalled today from Double-A Bowie.

Givens pitched scoreless ball for 1 2/3 innings, retiring five of six hitters, to get his first major league win in his second appearance. He fanned two batters, throwing 19 pitches, 13 for strikes.

After Chaz Roe pitched 2/3 of an inning and Darren O'Day went 1 1/3, Zach Britton got the final three outs to record his 27th save in 28 chances. Britton has recorded 23 straight saves since May 3.

After exchanging one-run wins, the Orioles host Detroit tomorrow night for the third game of this series. Kevin Gausman (1-2, 4.20 ERA) pitches against right-hander Anibal Sanchez (10-8, 4.61 ERA).
