It was night of firsts for a pair of former Orioles on Thursday.
Playing in his seventh game with the Los Angeles Dodgers after being dealt for five prospects, Manny Machado hit his first homer in Dodger blue, taking a first-pitch fastball from starter Anibal Sanchez deep to left-center in the third inning of L.A.’s 8-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.
Later Thursday, Zach Britton, traded to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night for three prospects, entered in relief for the first time with his new team and pitched a perfect eighth inning.
