MINNEAPOLIS, May 11 (UPI) -- Manny Machado singled in the go-ahead run during a three-run 10th inning Friday that gave Baltimore a 9-6 decision over Minnesota.

The Orioles rallied from a six-run deficit by scoring three times in both the sixth and seventh innings, then produced another outburst in the 10th to halt Minnesota's three-game winning streak.
