Wright strong but O's fall to Royals in finale

Orioles right-hander Mike Wright gave up just two runs on the homers through six. But he weakened in the seventh and wound up giving up eight hits and five runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Orioles' Manny Machado's 16-game hitting streak ended.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
One aided, one rocked: Gordon's ball to left field was a floating fly that the 21-mph wind to left most certainly benefited. The ball just sneaked over the fence in the left-field corner near the 330-foot sign. Hosmer's shot was a rocket into the right-field seats, a low line drive that was too low for the gale wind to knock down.
