His performance in Sunday’s 9-7 win over the Houston Astros was a good example. On a sizzling afternoon that would eventually feature a two-run game-winning rally in the eighth inning and Zach Britton’s American League-record 55th consecutive successful save opportunity, Bundy was handed a pair of three-run leads over the course of his 5 1/3 innings of work, and each time his quest for the elusive shutdown inning was undone by a game-tying three-run homer. Diminutive second baseman José Altuve delivered the first one in the third inning after the Orioles had taken advantage of the early wildness of Astros starter Lance McCullers to score three times in the second. Norichika Aoki, who isn’t exactly Aaron Judge himself, dropped the second three-run homer on the flag court in the sixth to tie the score at 6. “They hand me a three-run lead the first time and I blow it,’’ Bundy said, “and the second time they do it again and just hand me a win and I didn’t command my pitches in the sixth inning and they got me.” Bundy ended up surrendering seven earned runs, even though he made only two unforgiving pitches. He would avoid his ninth loss when Mark Trumbo tied the game with his 17th home run in the bottom of the seventh, but raise his ERA to 4.53. “It was another one like [Chris Tillman],’’ manager Buck Showalter. “I thought he was very close to having a lot better line. He hung a curveball and [Aoki] flipped it around the pole where you don’t have to hit it very far. He was real close to having a real good outing. I know what it’ll look like. I know Dylan was disappointed. He and [catcher] Caleb [Joseph] were really frustrated after that inning. They thought they should have gotten through it.” Adam Jones kept the Orioles offense moving with four hits, which matched a career high he has achieved 20 times. The O’s also got multihit performances from Trey Mancini, who had a pair of run-scoring hits, and Jonathan Schoop, who had three singles to raise his team-leading batting average to .307. The Orioles finally got over on the Astros with two runs off reliever Luke Gregerson in the bottom of the eighth inning. The rally start with a one-out double by shortstop Rubén Tejada, who moved up on Jones’ fourth hit and scored on a long sacrifice fly by Manny Machado. Schoop provided the insurance run with a looping single to left-center field. Britton did the rest, striking out two in a scoreless ninth to record his sixth save of the season, and first since April 14, in his first save opportunity since returning from the disabled list. His 55th consecutive successfully converted save opportunity – dating to September 2015 – broke the AL record set in 1998-1999 by then-Boston Red Sox closer Tom Gordon. Altuve is unconscious Altuve hit the first three-run home run that erased a three-run Orioles lead in the third inning and didn’t stop there. He doubled in the fifth inning and singled in the sixth to set up the go-ahead run after Aoki hit a three-run homer to erase the other three-run Orioles lead. Altuve came into the game leading the major leagues with a .352 batting average and raised it to .358 with a career-high four hits. Mancini’s sweet music Mancini just refuses to stop hitting. He singled home a run in the third inning to temporarily reclaim the lead and doubled home a run in the fifth inning to give the Orioles their second short- lived three-run lead of the game. He raised his average to .304. Adam's big week Jones managed just one hit in 15 at-bats in the first four games of the nonmathematical second half of the season, but he pulled out of that minislump in a fury. Over the final five games of the homestand, he went 10-for-24 with three homers and nine RBIs. http://m.orioles.mlb.com/news/article/243951024/orioles-break-late-tie-to-deny-astros-a-sweep/ O's outslug Astros in wild, seesaw finale By Kyle Melnick and Mandy Bell / MLB.com July 23, 2017 BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado knocked in the tiebreaking run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, then Zach Britton set an American League record with his 55th consecutive save to lift the Orioles to a thrilling 9-7 victory over the Astros on Sunday afternoon. The win snapped Baltimore's eight-game losing streak against Houston, including a five-game skid at Camden Yards. In his first save chance since returning from a left forearm strain, Britton struck out the first two batters before walking Marwin Gonzalez, but forced pinch-hitter George Springer to ground out to short to record the save. Britton moved into sole possession of second place in Major League history, passing Tom Gordon and trailing only Eric Gagne, who converted 84 in a row. "It's so hard to simulate that type of emotional situation in a rehab start or even out of the 'pen in a non-save situation," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "It's just completely different adrenaline. He looked like he was in his element there, finally. It's been a long haul to get back there. He was the last real piece for us to be able to get back and really be able to put what I think is a really good bullpen, if we can get deeper into games." The Astros trailed by three entering the sixth, but a three-run blast by Norichika Aoki tied the game before a sacrifice fly by Josh Reddick gave Houston a 7-6 lead. However, in the seventh, Mark Trumbo answered with a leadoff homer to knot the game at 7. The Orioles got off to a quick 3-0 lead in the second on a hit batsman, a double play and an Adam Jones single. In the third, Jose Altuve (4-for-5, three RBIs) launched a three-run blast to tie the game and extend his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games, but the Orioles tacked on another in the bottom half on a Trey Mancini single. "Well, we won the series, which is the positive side of things. Obviously today, you know both offenses swung the bat pretty well," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "I liked the big innings that we had coming back from their two big innings. They just had an extra one and we didn't." In the fifth, the O's added two runs to go up 6-3 on a Chris Davis sacrifice fly and an RBI double by Mancini, chasing Lance McCullers Jr.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

Each year since the Herd rejoined the International League in 1998, they have competed with their closest rivals, the Rochester Red Wings and Syracuse SkyChiefs, for a series championship that is named after the expressway that connects them all. This year, the Bisons went 11-5 against the SkyChiefs and already have an 8-5 record against the Red Wings. The championship is Buffalo’s fifth in nine years, also taking the cup in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. ALL-STAR HONORS: Outfielder Jason Dubois was named to the post-season International League All-Star team on Monday. The slugger is closing in on a Bisons’ triple crown as he ranks first on the team with 21 home runs (T-7th in IL) and 83 RBI (4th in IL) and is just behind Franklin Gutierrez (.281) for those that qualify with a .276 batting average. Dubois also leads the team with a .489 slugging percentage, is tied for the lead with 52 extra- base hits and is 2 nd with 30 doubles. He would be just the third player to win the team’s triple crown in the modern era, joining Russ Morman in 1993 (.320, 22 HR, 77 RBI) and Benny Distefano in 1988 (.263, 19 HR, 63 RBI). QUEST FOR QUALIFICATION: Pitcher Hyang-Nam Choi has been dominating for the Herd of late, with only one earned run since July 27.
