Machado said an intentional walk "crossed my mind at first. I thought they were. In that situation they probably had faith in Moylan out there that he could get some ground balls to the left side of the infield."
From Friday night's loss:
Machado hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the 15th inning, lifting Baltimore to a 10-7 win over Atlanta on Friday night after each team staged dramatic ninth-inning rallies.
The Braves surrendered six runs in the ninth, and then scored four times in the bottom of the inning.
Peter Moylan, Atlanta's eighth pitcher, hit Craig Gentry to open the 15th. Gentry moved to second on Austin Wynns' sacrifice.
With first base open, the Braves pitched to Machado and he responded with his 19th homer, a drive into the Orioles' bullpen in left.
Snitker said the right-handed Moylan is tough on right-handed hitters but acknowledged "you hate like hell (Machado) is one of them." Machado hit a 0-2 slider Moylan said was "supposed to be middle in." Moylan said the pitch "slipped out of my hand and ended up middle middle."
Moylan (0-1) gave up another run on singles by Colby Rasmus and Jonathan Schoop.
Mike Wright Jr. (1-0), Baltimore's seventh pitcher, threw two scoreless innings.
The game lasted 5 hours, 21 minutes.
The Orioles trailed 3-1 heading into the ninth, and the Braves rallied against closer Zach Britton in the bottom of the inning. Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino was not used while Dan Winkler allowed four runs while recording only one out.
Snitker said he rested Vizcaino because of shoulder soreness and he might be available on Saturday.

TRAINER'S ROOM:
Orioles: OF Trey Mancini (stiff neck) struck out as a pinch hitter in the eighth. He did not start for the second straight game. ... INF Tim Beckham (core muscle surgery) could return Monday. He has been out since April 25.
Braves: RHP Mike Soroka was placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, with right shoulder inflammation. It is the rookie's second DL stint with the shoulder issue. He missed 24 games from May 17 to June 13. He allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings and his velocity dropped in the Braves' 11-4 win at Toronto on Tuesday. Santana was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. ... RHP Mike Foltynewicz (right triceps tightness) threw on the side without problems and could come off the DL to start Monday against the Reds.

My friends said this morning that I looked like I got completely shmidtfaced last night. I told them no I just got Moylan'd.
To get myself going today I need some hair of the dog, I'm going to go watch the 15th inning again.

[ Snit and his coaching staff blew this game a couple of times, pinch hitting bourjos when biddle was throwing fire and had a manageable pitch count. Freddie shouldn’t have been sent from third with nobody out. ANYBODY but Moylan. Viz is unavailable, so make a roster move.... stealing Santana in the late innings—bad move.

I’ll be in attendance again today, was going to go to tomorrow’s also but white flag McCarthy isn’t worth whatever it’ll cost me.

Bet tomorrow It’ll be McCarthy followed by Moylan. We have a kid relieving in Gwinnett that should be here today and Moylan should be gone, but he’s a baseball player guy. And FFS If Viz isn’t available, get someone who is. Hasn’t pitched in days, if he’s not ready, DL him

I spent a good minute talking with AJ minter and my wife got a pic with him, really nice guy. Does everything right handed but throw. Signed for all along the fence row.

I did not agree with trying to score Freeman from first--they always say "make them make a play" and I get that, but not with Freddie running. Having him on 3rd and no outs would have been a nice situation.

No Moylan autograph though?
