BALTIMORE -- A two-game series that was scheduled to end
Wednesday stretched into early Friday morning before Matt
Wieters finally put an end to the rain-marred interleague
matchup between the Pirates and Orioles. Wieters led off
the 10th inning with a home run off Stolmy Pimentel to
give Baltimore a 6-5 victory and a doubleheader sweep
Thursday night. In the opener, Steve Pearce had three
hits and two RBIs in his return to the Orioles, who got a
home run from Nick Markakis in a 5-1 win. The single-
admission doubleheader followed consecutive rainouts
Tuesday and Wednesday. The rain lingered long enough to
delay the fifth inning of the opener by 21 minutes, and
the start of the nightcap was stalled 46 minutes by rain.
The second game lasted 3 hours, 57 minutes. By the time
it ended, the clock had ticked well past midnight. "Its
not a late night, its an early morning," said Orioles
reliever Darren ODay, who pitched in both games. As ODay
spoke, the team had 30 minutes to get ready for a trip to
Minnesota for a three-game series that was to begin
Friday night. "It will be a happy flight," ODay said, "so
that will make it a little easier." The second game
marked the season debut of Orioles third baseman Manny
Machado, who had left knee surgery in October. After
sitting out the opener, Machado received a warm ovation
from the crowd of 28,290 before the second game and went
0 for 5. Baltimore trailed 4-0 in the nightcap before
rallying with a four-run sixth. Adam Jones doubled in a
run and scored on a single by Wieters before Pearce
chased starter Brandon Cumpton with a double to right.
Bryan Morris entered and yielded a two-run double to J.J.
Hardy. Starling Marte countered with an RBI single in the
seventh for Pittsburgh, but Markakis tied it in the
bottom half with a solo shot off Morris. Wieters won it
in the 10th with a drive to right off Pimentel (2-1) that
soared just inside the foul pole. Tommy Hunter (1-0) got
two outs for the win. Earlier, Baltimore ace Chris
Tillman struggled through a 49-pitch first inning that
could be attributed in part to a seven-day layoff. The
right-hander issued three walks, two with the bases
loaded, before getting three outs. Pittsburgh ended
Tillmans outing in the fifth when Andrew McCutchen
doubled and scored on a triple by Gaby Sanchez for a 3-0
lead. Pedro Alvarez had four hits for the Pirates,
finishing a home run short of the cycle. But Pittsburgh
stranded 15 and went 5 for 16 with runners in scoring
position and lost for the 15th time in 19 games. "We keep
fighting and fighting, and we put ourselves in scoring
position and we havent been able to cash in the way we
need to," manager Clint Hurdle said. "But we keep showing
up. The bats were better throughout the series. ... We
had men on base throughout the game, and still looking
for that big hit." The first game was all about Pearce,
designated for assignment by Baltimore on April 22 and
released five days later. After turning down an offer
from Toronto, the first baseman was re-signed Monday
after Chris Davis went on the 15-day disabled list.
Pearce singled in the third, fifth and sixth innings of
the opener and was solid in the field. "Stevie gave us a
real lift," manager Buck Showalter said. Alvarez had two
hits and an RBI for the Pirates, who stranded 13 and went
1 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The defeat
ended Pittsburghs nine-game road winning streak in
interleague play. Trailing 1-0 when the rain stopped
play, Baltimore regrouped during the break and sent nine
batters to the plate in a three-run fifth. After a
single, walk and an error loaded the bases against
Charlie Morton (0-4), Pearce hit an RBI single and Ryan
Flaherty grounded an opposite-field, two-run single to
left field. Pearce singled in a run in the sixth, and
Markakis hit his first homer of the season in the seventh
for a 5-1 lead. Orioles starter Bud Norris (2-2) allowed
one run in 5 1-3 innings, and Hunter got the last out
with runners on second and third for his seventh save.
Morton started well but came unhinged after the rain
delay and lost his fourth consecutive start. The right-
hander permitted four runs, two earned, and seven hits in
5 1-3 innings. "I kept grooving fast balls to Steve
Pearce and he kept putting good swings on them," Morton
lamented. NOTES: Pittsburgh returns home to face Toronto
on Friday night. ... Orioles LHP Troy Patton returned
from a 25-game suspension before the second game.
Baltimore also activated Machado from the DL, and
optioned INF Steve Lombardozzi and RHP Josh Stinson to
Triple-A Norfolk. ... The last time Pittsburgh played a
doubleheader on the road was in July 2011, at Washington.
... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (right knee inflammation)
allowed three runs and four hits over 3 1-3 innings in a
rehabilitation assignment for Double-A Altoona against
Erie. ... Baltimores rainout against Tampa Bay on April
15 was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on
June 27. Friday-Vinny-Curry-Jersey/">Vinny Curry Jersey .
