ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles got on base and Manny Machado drove them in.Machado capped a six-run fourth inning with a grand slam off Jake Odorizzi, leading the Orioles over the Tampa Bay Rays 11-2 on Tuesday night.Guys are getting on base, hitting singles, doubles and doing the little things to give us an opportunity to have that big inning, said Machado, who drove in a fifth run with a single in the eighth. I think people are overlooking how well were executing and hitting in key situations. Things are starting to click for us. Its been fun the last couple of days.Chris Davis and Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who entered the day tied for the second wild card and two games behind AL East-leading Toronto, which lost to the New York Yankees.Machados homer was his 34th this season, while Davis got his 35th and Jones got his 26th.When they start talking about MVP, theyve got to start talking about him, too, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Machado, who has 90 RBI and 48 multihit games.Odorizzi (9-6) lost for the first time in 10 starts since the All-Star break, giving up seven runs, six hits and three walks over four innings. Machados slam was set up by two walks, a hit batter and J.J. Hardys two-run double.I think you could tell fairly early on that Odo didnt quite have all of his weapons tonight, said Rays manager Kevin Cash. Weve seen him so good here as of late. Tonight, he just didnt have the best feel for the changeup.Yovani Gallardo (5-7) pitched five innings for Baltimore, giving up two runs (one earned) and five hits while striking out five.Jones eighth-inning homer was the Orioles major league-leading 218th of the season, moving them ahead of last years team for second-most ever among Baltimore teams. The 1996 Orioles set the club record with 257.Logan Forsythe led off the Rays first with his 18th home run, and Kevin Kiermaier extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single.Other than not going deeper in the ballgame, I feel pretty good about it, said Gallardo, who won for the second time in his last 13 starts. After giving up that home run to start the ballgame, I was able to make pitches whenever I had to.DAVIS LEAVES GAME EARLYDavis left in the fifth inning with what Showalter described as a sore left palm. Its something hes had for a long time, something he doesnt really like talking about, said Showalter, who will re-evaluate the situation before Wednesdays game.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: RHP Chris Tillman, who has missed three starts with right shoulder bursitis, will throw a bullpen session in hopes of starting Sundays game at Detroit. Showalter said he will forego a decision on any rotation changes until he is satisfied the 15-game winner is both healthy and effective.Rays: 3B Evan Longoria, hit on the right hand by a pitched ball Monday, started. Its sore, Longoria said. Its OK.NEW VISIONLongoria was surprised at the timing of hitting coach Derek Sheltons firing on Tuesday.As much as I dont like to see Shelty go, Im on board with them making a change and wanting to go in a different direction, Longoria said.Rays minor league hitting coordinator Chad Mottola replaced Shelton.It gives Chad a few extra weeks to get to know our hitters better, Silverman said.UP NEXTOrioles: RHP Dylan Bundy will start Wednesdays series finale. He is 5-3 in eight starts since giving up three home runs in a 5-2 loss at Tropicana Filed on July 17.Rays: LHP Drew Smyly is 4-1 lifetime against the Orioles, but gave up eight runs, including a first-inning grand slam, to Davis in a 12-5 loss at Baltimore on June 26.

Panthers Jerseys China . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. NEW ORLEANS -- Allenzae Staggers set New Orleans Bowl records with 11 catches for 230 yards and also scored a touchdown to help Southern Mississippi beat Louisiana-Lafayette 28-21 on Saturday night.Nick Mullens, the Southern Miss all-time leader in yards passing and passing touchdowns, finished his distinguished career by throwing for 346 yards and two TDs.One of Mullens TD tosses was a 6-yarder to running back Ito Smith, who also rushed for 138 yards and two scores.However, Mullens turnovers helped the Ragin Cajuns keep the game competitive despite the Golden Eagles (7-6) outgaining ULL (6-7) 481 yards to 252.Mullens second-quarter fumble and fourth-quarter interception both led to Cajuns touchdowns, the latter on a short run by ULL quarterback Anthony Jennings that trimmed Southern Miss lead to 28-21 with 5:10 to go.ULL got the ball back once more, starting on its own 18-yard line with 2:02 to go, but Jennings overthrew a fourth-down pass as he rolled right.Jennings scored twice on runs for the Ragin Cajuns, who often struggled to move the ball through the air. A transfer who once started for LSU, Jennings completed 8 of 20 passes for 95 yards. He was intercepted once -- by Tarvarius Moore on the Southern Miss goal line -- and sacked six times, including three times by JaBoore Pool.REGROUPINGThe Cajuns composure was tested early. Mullens completed his first three passes for 127 yards and a touchdown to Smith, who also rushed for the games opening TD as the Golden Eagles took a 14-0 lead inside the first 8 minutes.But ULL methodically pulled itself back into the game, starting when Jennings led a nine-play, 66-yard drive capped by his 4-yard TD to make it 14-7. In thee second quarter, Tremaine Lightfoots sack and strip of Mullens was scooped and returned 15 yards by Otha Peters to the Southern Miss 29, setting up a tying 12-yard TD run by reserve QB Dion Ray, who periodically ran plays out of a wildcat formation.ddddddddddddTAKING THEIR TIMEAs the first half ended, Mullens rushed the Southern Miss offense to the line of scrimmage to try to spike the ball and stop the clock so the Golden Eagles could try a 45-yard field goal. The clock read zero after his spike, but officials ordered 1 second put back on the clock. Louisiana-Lafayette then used both of its remaining timeouts in an effort to disrupt kicker Parker Shaunfields rhythm. After the second timeout, officials decided to review the previous play and ruled that time had expired after all, ending the half in a 14-all tie.UP NEXTSouthern Miss: The first order of business is to find a replacement for Mullens, who leaves the Golden Eagles as the programs career leader in yards passing (11,994) and TD passes (87). Complicating that transition at QB is the departure of three-year starting center Cameron Tom and starting guards Oliver Bates and Brandon Farmer.Louisiana-Lafayette: The Cajuns are expected to apply to the NCAA for another year of eligibility for Jennings, but prospects for approval appear slim. The next QB could come from the junior college ranks. The offense also loses Elijah McGuire, who ranks second all-time in rushing for ULL, and top receiver Al Riles.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
