Manny Machado melee could be turning point for Orioles ... in a good way

BALTIMORE -- If you want to know how the Baltimore Orioles are going to respond to Tuesday’s bean brawl with the Kansas City Royals and the all but certain suspension of Manny Machado, look no further than what happened right after the smoke cleared.

In the first at-bat after Machado and Royals starter Yordano Ventura -- who plunked the O’s slugger in the back with a 99 mph heater -- were tossed, Baltimore cleanup hitter Mark Trumbo crushed a 3-1 sinker from Royals reliever Chien-Ming Wang over the center-field fence.
