BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles had gone nearly a week without a victory, a stretch that included three one-run defeats in Arizona and a lopsided loss to Colorado at home. So, when they finally got to add another digit to their win total, the Orioles didnt really care if the outcome was influenced by their opponents mistakes. Brian Roberts and Manny Machado both hit two-run doubles during a seven-run third inning fueled by Colorado miscues, and Baltimore defeated the Rockies 8-4 Saturday night to end a four-game skid. Adam Jones had two hits in Baltimores highest-scoring inning of the season, which featured an error by shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch. Six of the seven runs were unearned, but when it was done the Orioles had an 8-1 lead. "It was huge," winning pitcher Bud Norris said. "It was a tough stretch there in Arizona. But just to be back in the win column was huge. To have a seven-run third inning is definitely a help to any starting pitcher going out there. I just wanted to keep putting up zeroes and the bullpen really came in and picked me up, too." Norris (9-10) gave up four runs and nine hits over 5 2-3 innings to improve to 3-1 since coming to the Orioles in a trade with Houston on July 31. He was followed by a relief corps that allowed only three hits the rest of way. "This is the big leagues. The third inning with a seven-run lead is never comfortable," said Tommy Hunter, who worked the ninth. "Guys came in and threw the ball well in certain situations and got us to the end of the ballgame with a four-run lead." Most of the damage in the third inning came against Colorado rookie Chad Bettis (0-2), who allowed seven hits, four walks and eight runs in 2 2-3 innings. "It was really embarrassing," Bettis said. "I need to be better. I wasnt making the right pitches." Baltimores third inning began with a double by Chris Davis and an infield hit by Jones. Nick Markakis followed with an RBI single, and one out later Colorado brought the infield in with runners on second and third. Steve Pearce hit a grounder that got past Tulowitzki, allowing Jones to score. "I think Tul probably looked up to see if the runner was taking off from third," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "But, hes been as good as you can possibly be at shortstop. Hes not going to make every play for six months." Following the second out, Roberts doubled in two runs, Nate McLouth walked and Machado hit his major league-leading 43rd double. Adam Ottavino replaced Bettis and walked Davis before Jones delivered an RBI single for a seven-run cushion. "Ive never been a part of a bad seven-run inning, when youre the one scoring it," Roberts said. "Obviously, we needed a little something to kind of jump start us and that was big, to use the extra out they gave us to put some runs on the board. Everyone kind of breathed a little sigh of relief and said, All right. Now were ready to go." Dexter Fowler hit RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings for the Rockies, who lost for only the second time in eight games. Colorado stranded 11 and went 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Jones had three hits and Davis picked up his 113th RBI to help the Orioles secure their first victory since beating San Francisco last Sunday. "I think people panic a little more outside the clubhouse than we do inside the clubhouse," Roberts said. "We all still feel like we are in pretty good shape." Colorado got two hits and two walks in the first inning but scored only once, when Tulowitzki bounced into a double play. In the bottom half, McLouth drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a single by Machado and came home on a fly ball by Davis. Although the Orioles left the bases loaded in the second, they made up for it in the third. NOTES: Orioles SS J.J. Hardy was late scratch with back spasms.

Adidas NMD Pharrell Williams Human Race Yellow . -- Chris Tillman paid no attention to the Baltimore bullpen as it started to stir in the ninth inning.Thirteen weeks into the season and the Heisman Race is now Jameis Winstons to lose. The redshirt freshman QB from Florida State has lead position in the battle for the most coveted individual trophy in college sports not so much because of what he did over the weekend – 225 yards passing and four touchdowns in just over a half of play against a hapless Idaho team – but more so what he didnt do, namely implode against LSU. That was, rather, Johnny Manziels Saturday. The defending Heisman Trophy winner – and former co-top contender – had his chances for a repeat take a serious blow in Texas A&Ms loss to the Tigers. Manziel had possibly the worst day of his college career, settling for 16/41 passing for 224 yards and one touchdown to two interceptions in the Aggies 34-10 loss in Baton Rouge. LSUs defence all but guaranteed a new Heisman Trophy winner at the end of the season. Marcus Mariota did himself no favours either. The Ducks QB, barely hanging on to his spot among the top Heisman contenders after a title hopes-crushing loss to Stanford, followed that up two weeks later with a loss too unranked Arizona.dddddddddddd Mariota was 27/41 for 308 yards and two touchdowns to interceptions, while adding another 52 yards on the ground; a decent performance but with Oregon now uncertain to even play in a BCS Bowl, the redshirt sophomores chances are slim. The fringe candidate list is now long and wide open but two players I like are Arizona running back KaDeem Carey and Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr. Carey was the catalyst for the Wildcats big win over Oregon, carrying the rock 48 times for 206 yards and four touchdowns. The junior is now the fourth-leading rusher in the nation while his 16 touchdowns is tied for sixth. Carr meanwhile, is a stats machine. The senior threw for more than 500 yards and seven touchdowns in the No. 16 Bulldogs rout of lowly New Mexico. Hes the nations second-leading passer with 3,948 yards but his 39 touchdown passes are five more than any other QB. Carrs Heisman chances are hurt by Fresno States relatively weak competition throughout the year but any more faltering by the top contenders in this years Heisman race could open the door to his gaudy stats.
