BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado led off the 12th inning with a home run off Cory Rasmus and gave the Baltimore Orioles a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
Machado hit a 1-2 breaking ball from Rasmus (2-1) into the seats in left field to end the back-and-forth duel between AL contenders.
Ryan Webb (3-1) worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the top of the 12th for the Orioles, who improved to 12-3 in extra innings. Adam Jones and Nick Markakis homered for Baltimore in their first home game since the All-Star break.
Josh Hamilton homered and had three RBIs for the Angels, who have dropped eight of their past 11 against the Orioles.
A potential pitching duel between Jered Weaver and Chris Tillman turned into a slugfest, as both former All-Stars left after the fifth inning with Baltimore leading 6-5. Weaver gave up a season-high six earned runs and walked four. Tillman yielded five runs (three earned) and six hits, including three doubles and a home run.
After Hamilton delivered a run-scoring grounder in the top of the first, the Orioles scored twice in the bottom half. Jones drove an 0-2 fastball over the left-field wall -- giving him 20 home runs for a fourth straight season -- and J.J. Hardy added an RBI single.
Los Angeles capitalized on a throwing error by Tillman to take a 3-2 lead in the second before Machado doubled in a run in the Orioles' half.

The Orioles' slugging third baseman faced three straight sliders before launching his first career walk-off home run, ESPN Stats & Info writes. Story

After Hank Conger hit a sacrifice fly for the Angels in the fourth, Weaver issued two walks in the bottom half, and Markakis followed with a drive off the right-field foul pole to make it 6-4.
Hamilton homered in the fifth and tied it in the seventh with an infield hit.
TRAINING ROOM
Angels: Left-hander C.J. Wilson (right ankle sprain) pitched 5 1/3 innings for Double-A Arkansas on Monday in his first rehab start and could return soon. "There is definitely one scenario where it could be this weekend, but we're not going to commit to anything," manager Mike Scioscia said.
Orioles: First baseman Chris Davis did not play after being sent home with a stomach virus. "He was sick all day [Monday] and didn't seem to be making a marked improvement," manager Buck Showalter said.
ON DECK
Angels: Right-hander Garrett Richards (11-3) seeks to rebound after his seven-game win streak was ended last week against Detroit. In his only previous start against Baltimore, Richards allowed a career-high seven runs in 2012.
Orioles: Kevin Gausman makes his first career start against the Angels, as the Orioles seek their ninth win in 11 games at Camden Yards.

Research Notes

Manny Machado has returned to form since he came back from a 5-game suspension July 5th. Since then he's hitting .373 with 4 homers, including the walkoff Tuesday. In 54 games prior to the suspension Machado was hitting just .239.   [+]

Adam Jones is the 1st Orioles player with 4 consecutive 20-HR seasons since Rafael Palmeiro hit 20 HR in 5 straight seasons from 1994-98.

Josh Hamilton's 5th-inning HR snapped a 20-game homerless skid. This is the 1st season of Hamilton's career with multiple 20-game homerless skids -- his 23-game skid in June matched his career long.

Adam Jones (BAL): 20th HR of season, 4th straight 20-HR season. 3rd HR vs Angels this season.

Jered Weaver is holding opposing hitters to a .200 batting average in at-bats ending with his fastball this season, which is the lowest in the American League among qualified starters. Chris Davis has a .241 batting average in at-bats ending with a fastball this season, which is 51 points below the MLB average among qualified hitters.

Adam Jones (BAL): HR (20); 4th career 20-HR season; the only Orioles OF with more 20-HR seasons is Frank Robinson.   [+]
