SEATTLE -- Manny Machado and the Baltimore Orioles are working extra hard for their wins lately. Machado lifted a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the Orioles beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 Sunday. The Orioles took three of four in the series, twice winning in extra innings. Baltimore is 11-3 in extras this season, including six straight wins. Manager Buck Showalter said Machado had a "stick-your-nose-over-the-plate-and-get-it-done" at-bat. Adam Jones opened the 10th with a double into the left-field corner off Yoervis Medina (4-2). Nelson Cruz and Chris Davis walked to load the bases. After J.J. Hardy popped out, Machado hit a flyball to deep centre. "He was challenging me. His best pitch is his fastball," Machado said. "He started with a strike. Then he comes up and in. So Im down 0-2 real quick. He tried to get me out with a fastball down and in, and I got it up and put it in play." Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon didnt like what Medina threw Machado. "It wasnt a good pitch, it was a strike," McClendon said. "He was trying to get a groundout. He went at him with his best stuff. It just didnt work." Machado also singled and scored in the third inning and had an RBI single in the eighth. T.J. McFarland (4-2) worked one inning for the victory. His effort came on a day when his grandmother passed away in Chicago. He plans to leave the team beginning Monday for at least three days to attend her funeral. Zach Britton struck out the side in the 10th for his 20th save in 23 opportunities. Dustin Ackley had three hits for the Mariners and is batting .375 in 21 games this month. "They got runners on at the end and they were able to get the sac fly, which was huge," Ackley said. "We just didnt take advantage and they did." Mariners reliever Brandon Maurer had not allowed an earned run in 10 previous relief appearances, a span of 15 innings, before Baltimore took a 2-1 lead in the eighth. The Orioles loaded the bases off Maurer with two outs, then Machado bounced a one-hopper to the left side. Shortstop Chris Taylor caught the ball but threw awkwardly and high to second baseman Robinson Cano, pulling him off the bag. It was ruled a hit and Jones scored. "It was frustrating. I really thought I should have had that. It got away from me a little bit," Taylor said. "I dont think I rushed it, just made a bad throw. I dont have any explanation for it. It just happened." Orioles reliever Darren ODay, who had not allowed a run in his previous 14 appearances -- a stretch of 15 1-3 innings -- came on in the eighth to protect the lead. Mike Zunino connected with two outs for his 15th home run. The tying shot was the Mariners first home run in six games. "Darren has been pretty much perfect this year," Showalter said. "We owed him. We picked him up today." The Mariners got four hits in the second inning but managed just one run. Kyle Seager opened with a single off the wall, but was thrown out at second by right fielder Nick Markakis. Corey Hart and Zunino singled and Taylor, called up Thursday for his first big league experience, got his first RBI with a double. NOTES: Medina lost on his 26th birthday. ... Showalter will give Wei-Yin Chen a few extra days between starts. Chen will next take the mound Friday when Seattle visits Camden Yards. "Wei-Yin had his top pitch count of the year (109 Thursday) and I want to keep guys on turn," Showalter said. ... A player will be called up for Tuesday nights home game against the Angels with McFarland on the bereavement list. ... Os pitching coach Dave Wallace will leave the team this weekend to attend his daughters wedding. Scott McGregor, a minor league pitching instructor, will take over.

Wing Nemani Nadolo collected a hat trick. Trailing by five points after 63 minutes, the Crusaders found late energy to subdue a Cheetahs team in a free-flowing 10-try game at Free State Stadium. Super Rugbys most successful team also made it two wins from two from its tour of South Africa, lifting it within range of the playoff places. The Christchurch-based Crusaders led 26-10 after Nadolo went over for his first in the opening minute of the second half, benefiting from a slick offload out wide from fit-again No. 8 and captain Kieran Read. Cheetahs centre Johann Sadie inspired the home teams brief fight-back, setting up two of three tries for the strugglers in an eight-minute burst from the 50th. But the seven-time champion Crusaders roared home at the end as tries from replacement Tom Taylor, flyhalf Colin Slade and two more from the rampant Nadolo sealed victory in style. Slade scored 25 points. Sadie was the Cheetahs best player, slicing through the miidfield in the 17th to set up the games first five-pointer for wing Cornal Hendricks.ddddddddddddAll Blacks fullback Israel Dagg replied for the Crusaders in the 28th, straight after a disallowed Cheetahs try, when he raced onto a chip through in the right corner. Nadolo ran in his first straight from the kickoff after a Cheetahs error, and after Read committed two players and flipped a pass away to the big left wing. With Slades conversion, the Crusaders led 26-10. Sadies chip and collect for the Cheetahs set up scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius dash to the corner and replacement loose forward Teboho Mohoje then burst through two tackles and beat Dagg in a race to the line. Sadies slick handling was responsible for Willie le Rouxs try in the 59th and the Cheetahs then led 31-26. They didnt score again. Taylor followed up a surge by flanker Matt Todd to score in the 64th and Slade took a quick tap penalty and surged downfield before finding Nadolo with a long pass for the left wings second four minutes later. Slade scored himself after a 50-meter run off a turnover and Nadolo ran in his hat trick try in the last minute. ' ' '
