BALTIMORE -- Jean Segura needed a moment. An inside pitch from Orioles reliever Mychal Givens forced the shortstop to awkwardly jerk away from the plate. Segura reached for his back, bringing out the trainer, and for a moment, raising the question if he could finish Wednesday's extra-innings roller coaster of a game.
But on the very next pitch, the 28-year-old ripped a leadoff double off the wall in left-center, putting the winning run on second and taking the Major League lead with 34 multi-hit games. On third base after a Kyle Seager single, Segura hustled home on a sac fly from Denard Span to give the Mariners their eventual 8-7 win in the 11th inning at Camden Yards.
