BALTIMORE -- When the game went into extra innings, the Baltimore Orioles figured it would only be a matter of time before they would be celebrating a win over the New York Yankees. Sure enough, it wasnt long before the Orioles joyfully gathered at home plate immediately following a 3-2 victory Friday night. Manny Machado led off the 10th inning with a double and scored on a one-out single by Nick Hundley to give Baltimore its ninth win in 11 games. The AL East-leading Orioles improved to a season-high 10 games over .500 (51-41) and stretched their advantage over third-place New York to five games. Baltimore has gone to extra innings in three of its last five games and won in the 10th, 11th and 12th innings. "Usually, its pitching and the bullpen doing well," manager Buck Showalter offered as an explanation. In this one, the Orioles got eight sharp innings from starter Miguel Gonzalez, a scoreless ninth from closer Zach Britton and a perfect 10th from T.J. McFarland (3-2). It all added up to Baltimores ninth win in 12 extra-inning games this season. "I think it really speaks to the depth of our bullpen, the quality of our bullpen," Hundley said. "T.J. McFarland comes in, does a great job going through the beginning of their order, a tough part, 1-2-3. And then with the offence that we have and the staunch bullpen, that combination lends itself to be successful -- either late in the game or extra innings." Machado began the game-winning uprising with a liner into the right-field corner off Adam Warren (1-5). After Ryan Flaherty struck out, Hundley hit an off-speed pitch into left-centre that enabled Machado to score easily. "He just left a breaking ball up, thats all," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Warren. "Hes pitched extremely well for us, but he just left a breaking ball up. Theres not much room for error there." Playing as a visitor at Camden Yards for the first time, Yankees second baseman Brian Roberts homered on the first pitch he saw. Roberts spent his first 13 seasons with the Orioles before signing as a free agent with New York in January. Kelly Johnson also hit a solo shot for the Yankees, who entered with a major league-best 27-17 record in games decided by two runs or fewer. Now, however, they are only 5-5 in extra innings. This one hurt a little bit more because of the separation it created between the teams. "It definitely does," Warren said. "Were trying to gain games on these guys, and it just didnt go our way tonight." New York starter Hiroki Kuroda gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings. Although he didnt issue a walk, Kuroda hit two batters and threw three wild pitches. Gonzalez allowed two runs and six hits over eight innings. After giving up a fourth-inning double to Ichiro Suzuki, the right-hander retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. Gonzalez struck out five and walked none. The eight innings matched his career high, set three times previously, including his last start against Boston. Roberts fifth homer put the Yankees up 1-0, and Johnson connected leading off the third. A single by Brian McCann and Suzukis second double of the game put runners on second and third with one out in the fourth, but Gonzalez worked out of the jam. Baltimore took advantage of a wild spell by Kuroda to tie it at 2 in the bottom half. The right-hander hit two batters -- doubling his total for the season -- and threw two wild pitches, the first of which allowed a run to score. "Looking back, obviously that inning was a (big) moment in the game," Kuroda said through an interpreter. Showalter said, "We were fortunate there to push a couple across. We got a little help." Gonzalez, meanwhile, got 10 straight outs before hitting Johnson with a pitch in the seventh with two outs.

I regret not making the playoffs. And thats a big difference, the MLSE boss said Tuesday. Im fairly certain Winston Churchill didnt go into the war saying, Whatever you guys do, dont say were going to win.Ive never met a championship-calibre organization that Ive been around that didnt want to be a champion. And so we cannot and will not be afraid of setting goals and standards for ourselves and demanding that we achieve them. And occasionally it means were going to have to live with a little bit of a kick in the pants. I take the kick in the pants, as nothing more than a motivation that weve got to do better.Despite an outlay of millions on designated players Michael Bradley, Jermain Defoe and Gilberto and firing manager Ryan Nelsen and five assistant coaches 24 games into the season, Toronto (11-15-8) finishhed seventh in the Eastern Conference — eight points out of the playoffs.ddddddddddddeiweke made his famous playoff promise in October 2013 at an Empire Club luncheon speech about the future of MLSE teams and plans to improve them.The underachieving soccer team had just finished 17th in the 19-team league with a 6-17-11 record.Our soccer team is absolutely in complete disarray, said Leiweke, drawing laughs.But the Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president and CEO, who had taken over that summer, also told the luncheon that change was coming.The team we turn the quickest will be TFC and well turn them (in 2014), he said.Mark it down, write it down, film it .... Were going to turn TFC around and were going to make the playoffs next year. We know where were headed, we know how to get there. Weve been given the resources of this ownership group and we will get to the right place.Toronto finished 13th overall this season.———Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Cheap Steelers Jerseys Cheap Patriots Jerseys Cheap Bills Jerseys Cheap Jets Jerseys Cheap Giants Jerseys Cheap Redskins Jerseys Cheap Bears Jerseys Cheap Eagles Jerseys Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Raiders Jerseys Cheap Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Panthers Jerseys Cheap Lions Jerseys Cheap Browns Jerseys ' ' '
