Bundy earns 5th victory as Orioles beat White Sox 6-5
BALTIMORE (AP) - Dylan Bundy pitched six effective innings to earn his fourth straight victory, Trey Mancini homered and drove in three runs, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Saturday night.
Manny Machado hit his team-leading eighth home run for the Orioles, who will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday.
Bundy (5-1) allowed three runs and six hits, walking one and striking out three. The right-hander is tied for the major league lead in wins and has pitched at least six innings in each of his seven starts.
Bundy left with a 6-3 lead, and the bullpen made it stand up -- barely.
Mychal Givens surrendered a two-run homer to Jose Abreu in the eighth before Darren O'Day worked the ninth for his second save. The Orioles are without a clear-cut closer after lefty Zach Britton was placed on the disabled list for a second time Saturday with a strained left forearm.
Despite rallying from an early 4-0 deficit and getting a home run from Cody Asche, the White Sox fell to 6-14 in their last 20 games at Camden Yards.
Still seeking his first major league victory, Chicago rookie Dylan Covey (0-3) gave up six runs and 10 hits in four-plus innings. He's got an 8.28 ERA and has allowed seven home runs in five starts.
The Orioles batted around in a three-run first inning that featured five hits, a walk and a bases-loaded balk.
Machado made it 4-0 in the second with his fourth home run in the last six games.
Chicago halved the margin in the fifth inning, getting a sacrifice fly from Melky Cabrera and an RBI single from Leury Garcia.
Mancini connected in the bottom half with a two-run drive that ended Covey's outing.
EVERYONE HITS
All nine Orioles starters had at least one hit. Machado, Mancini and Mark Trumbo had two apiece, all off Covey.

Orioles: Britton and RHP Gabriel Ynoa (hamstring) were placed on the 10-day DL. ... 2B Jonathan Schoop sat out the game after being hit on the right wrist with a pitch on Friday night.

LHP Wade Miley said he had full range of motion in his left wrist, where he was struck with a line drive on Friday.
