Orioles: Manny Machado became the second player in major-league history to homer in the first, second and third innings, driving in a career-high seven runs in a 10-2 rout of the White Sox. Machado hit a two-run homer in the first and a three-run shot in the second off James Shields, who allowed four homers while getting four outs. Machado hit another two-run homer in the third off Matt Albers. According to STATS, the only player to match the feat was Carl Reynolds of the White Sox on July 2, 1930, against the Yankees.

Mets: Neil Walker hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the top of the ninth off Francisco Rodriguez (1-2) to help the team avoid a sweep with a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Addison Reed (3-2) got the win in relief, and Jeurys Familia earned his major league-leading 39th save.

Yankees: Alex Rodriguez will play his final major-league game Friday against the Rays and then become a special adviser and instructor with the team.

Rodriguez, 41, who was suspended for the entire 2014 season for performance-enhancing drug use, is hitting .204 this season.

Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw resumed baseball activities with a game of catch as he continued his attempt to return to the mound. Sidelined since June 26, Kershaw (mild herniated disc) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday and is not eligible to return until Aug. 27. The next step will be another session of catch “just a little further out,” manager Dave Roberts said.

Phillies: The team turned the first triple play in Petco Park history in the seventh inning of a 6-5 victory. With runners on first and second, Jabari Blash hit a grounder to Maikel Franco at third. He stepped on the bag and fired to second baseman Cesar Hernandez to erase Jose Rondon. Hernandez's relay to first baseman Ryan Howard beat Blash by a step. It was the Phillies' first triple play since Aug. 23, 2009.

Extra innings: The Dodgers called up Rob Segedin and started him in left field against the Red Sox. Segedin made his major-league debut after 2,331 minor-league plate appearances and set a team record with four RBIs in his first game, an 8-5 victory. ... The Twins' Miguel Sano hit the highest pop fly ever at Tropicana Field before sending two other balls into the seats in a 6-3 victory over the Rays. He became the first player to hit a ball off the roof with a fly that went 210 feet above the playing surface before being caught by 3B Evan Longoria.
