Each of the first eight hitters in the O's lineup had at least one hit, with Joey Rickard, Adam Jones, J.J. Hardy, Nolan Reimold, Machado and Davis picking up two apiece.
In suffering its most decisive loss this season, Chicago had 10 hits and plenty of chances to score, but stranded nine runners in the last five innings against Baltimore relievers Mychal Givens (2-0), who got the win, Dylan Bundy and T.J. McFarland.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Quick hook: Orioles starter Tyler Wilson surrendered only four hits and one walk in 4 2/3 innings. But he was replaced after he hit Adam Eaton with a pitch and gave up a single to Jimmy Rollins on his 91st pitch of the night. Wilson, who began the year in the bullpen, threw 70 pitches in his first start of the season Saturday, a win over Kansas City.
Breaking out: Machado entered the game in an 0-for-17 skid. But he snapped it with an RBI double in the third inning. His grand slam, on the first pitch he saw from reliever Jake Petricka, gave him a career-high five RBIs. Jones' first-inning RBI double came after he entered the game with a .196 average and had been dropped to fifth in the lineup. It came off Danks, who had limited Jones to one hit in 33 previous career at-bats.
