Machado homers again as Orioles earn split with Royals

BALTIMORE (AP)   Manny Machado hit his third homer in four major league games, Nick Markakis also connected, and the Baltimore Orioles got four hitless innings from their bullpen in a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.  Mark Reynolds drove in the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning for the Orioles, who earned a split of the four-game series.  Machado hit a two-run homer in the second off former Orioles pitcher Bruce Chen (8-10).  Machado tripled in his debut Thursday night, homered twice in his second game and doubled in a run Saturday night.  With his home run Sunday, the 20-year-old Machado joined Frank Robinson, Ray Knight and Lee May as the only players to get an extra-base hit in each of their first four games with the Orioles.
