For Braves manager Brian Snitker http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/brian-urlacher-jersey , playing the matchups meant pitching to Manny Machado with first base open and a marathon game on the line.

The Orioles slugger made that strategy look foolish.

Machado hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the 15th inning, lifting Baltimore to a 10-7 win over Atlanta on Friday night after each team staged dramatic ninth-inning rallies.

The Braves surrendered six runs in the ninth, and then scored four times in the bottom of the inning.

Peter Moylan, Atlanta’s eighth pitcher, hit Craig Gentry to open the 15th. Gentry moved to second on Austin Wynns‘ sacrifice.

With first base open, the Braves pitched to Machado and he responded with his 19th homer, a drive into the Orioles’ bullpen in left.

Snitker said the right-handed Moylan is tough on right-handed hitters but acknowledged ”you hate like hell (Machado) is one of them.”

Machado said an intentional walk ”crossed my mind at first. I thought they were. In that situation they probably had faith in Moylan out there that he could get some ground balls to the left side of the infield.”

Machado hit a 0-2 slider Moylan said was ”supposed to be middle in.” Moylan said the pitch ”slipped out of my hand and ended up middle middle.”

Moylan (0-1) gave up another run on singles by Colby Rasmus and Jonathan Schoop.

Mike Wright Jr. (1-0), Baltimore’s seventh pitcher Adolphus Washington Jersey , threw two scoreless innings.

The game lasted 5 hours, 21 minutes.

The Orioles trailed 3-1 heading into the ninth, and the Braves rallied against closer Zach Britton in the bottom of the inning. Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino was not used while Dan Winkler allowed four runs while recording only one out.

Snitker said he rested Vizcaino because of shoulder soreness and he might be available on Saturday.

Chris Davis hit a drought-breaking homer and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly as Baltimore opened a 7-3 lead.

Britton got one out and was charged with four runs and five hits. He gave up a single to Johan Camargo and a double to Danny Santana before hitting Ender Inciarte to load the bases.

Ozzie Albies‘ bases-loaded single drove in Camargo. Freddie Freeman’s two-run single cut the lead to one before Nick Markakis tied the game with a double to right field.

Atlanta had jumped in front on Charlie Culberson’s tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth.

Davis, making his first start since June 11, hit his first homer since May 9 in the fifth. Camargo tied the game with his run-scoring double in the seventh.

Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb allowed five hits in seven innings.

Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb permitted four hits in seven innings

The start of the game was delayed 11 minutes by rain.

DRASTIC CHANGES

Davis was hitting only .150 when he was given 10 days to work on his swing with hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh and vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson. Davis http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/mark-sanchez-jersey , in the third season of a seven-year, $161 million contract, described changes to his swing as ”drastic.”

”I think the break was obviously more just to give me an opportunity to sit down and try to make some of these adjustments and not have to go out and do it in the game,” Davis said.

NFL players have roughly six weeks to rest and prepare for training camp, now that OTAs and minicamps have wrapped up.

But when Washington returns to training camp Derrius Guice Jersey , coach Jay Gruden will still be emphasizing their rest.

Via聽Matthew Paras of the Washington Times, Gruden has adjusted his camp schedule to put his more rigorous practice in the morning, and the lighter walk-through in the afternoon.

鈥淚 want to give them a full day to recover,鈥?Gruden said. 鈥淚 kind of have been doing a little research here and I think we practice in the morning, we are off the field around noon and they get a nice lunch. . . . So, I think to give that full time for recovery, so they can drink a lot of fluids and take care of their bodies is important.鈥?/p>

Most of their practices (9 of 15) will happen at 9:45 a.m. (which also helps keep them out of the heat and humidity), and those practices started at 3 p.m. last season.

Of course Brandon Scherff Jersey , there’s more than heat on Gruden’s mind. His team lost 309 player-games to injury, the sixth-highest total in the league. So anything he can do to reverse last year’s bad luck in the area, he’ll try.
