Talking Points: Miley allows three homers

Share

STAR OF THE GAME: Manny Machado

Machado reached base three times -- including a solo homer - scored two runs and turned in a terrific play at third to rob Hanley Ramirez of a base hit in the first.


HONORABLE MENTION: Adam Jones

Jones, too, had two hits and two runs scored and also hit a solo homer.

GOAT OF THE GAME: Wade Miley

Though he undoubtedly would disagree, Miley pitched poorly, allowing five runs in the first four innings, digging a hole that his offense could never quite escape.


TURNING POINT: The throwing error by Sandoval in the seventh led to a big unearned insurance run for the Orioles, enabling them to withstand the late-game solo homer from David Ortiz.

BY THE NUMBERS: After allowing just four homers in his first 61 2/3 innings this season, Miley allowed three in the first four innings.
