Jones breaks out of slump to lift Orioles over Twins, 5-3 (Yahoo Sports)

Adam Jones broke out of a long slump in a big way, delivering the go-ahead, two-run single in the ninth inning after a towering homer in the fifth to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-3 victory over the skidding Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Manny Machado also went deep while going 3 for 3 with two walks to raise his batting average to .365, and Zach Britton earned his eighth save for the Orioles. Kevin Jepsen (2-4) intentionally walked Machado in the ninth to get to Jones, who made him pay.
