CHICAGO _ The Orioles rode a career day for third baseman Manny Machado, an explosive start to the game offensively, and another impressive start by rookie Dylan Bundy to a breezy 10-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field.
Machado joined an exclusive group of Orioles by hitting three home runs _ one each in the first, second, and third innings _ and drove in a career-high seven runs in the process.
His first home run staked the Orioles to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. His second came in a six-run second inning, and his third plated both of the Orioles' runs in the third inning. Machado grounded out and lined out in his next two at-bats.
He wasn't the only one who wore his hitting shoes to the ballpark Sunday. First baseman Chris Davis and shortstop J.J. Hardy also homered in the win, extending the Orioles' major-league leading total in that category to 168.
Every Orioles starter except catcher Matt Wieters had a hit, though Wieters had a deep drive to right field caught at the top of the wall in the second inning. The Orioles had 12 hits.
Rookie Dylan Bundy continued to dazzle in the Orioles rotation, striking out a career-high nine batters while going six innings and allowing two runs on four hits.
Bundy struck out the side in the first inning, but unlike his last two starts, didn't carry a no-hitter deep into the game. A towering fly ball hit down the left field line by White Sox slugger Jose Abreu landed for a double to open the second inning.
White Sox right fielder Adam Eaton walked to open the fourth inning, advanced to third base on a single by Abreu, and scored on sacrifice fly by Todd Frazier. Abreu also homered in the sixth inning to score Chicago's second run.
Bundy is now 3-2 as a starter with a 3.00 ERA in 27 innings with 33 strikeouts and six walks.
