BALTIMORE -- A two-game series that was scheduled to end Wednesday stretched into early Friday morning before Matt Wieters finally put an end to the rain-marred interleague matchup between the Pirates and Orioles. Wieters led off the 10th inning with a home run off Stolmy Pimentel to give Baltimore a 6-5 victory and a doubleheader sweep Thursday night. In the opener, Steve Pearce had three hits and two RBIs in his return to the Orioles, who got a home run from Nick Markakis in a 5-1 win. The single-admission doubleheader followed consecutive rainouts Tuesday and Wednesday. The rain lingered long enough to delay the fifth inning of the opener by 21 minutes, and the start of the nightcap was stalled 46 minutes by rain. The second game lasted 3 hours, 57 minutes. By the time it ended, the clock had ticked well past midnight. "Its not a late night, its an early morning," said Orioles reliever Darren ODay, who pitched in both games. As ODay spoke, the team had 30 minutes to get ready for a trip to Minnesota for a three-game series that was to begin Friday night. "It will be a happy flight," ODay said, "so that will make it a little easier." The second game marked the season debut of Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, who had left knee surgery in October. After sitting out the opener, Machado received a warm ovation from the crowd of 28,290 before the second game and went 0 for 5. Baltimore trailed 4-0 in the nightcap before rallying with a four-run sixth. Adam Jones doubled in a run and scored on a single by Wieters before Pearce chased starter Brandon Cumpton with a double to right. Bryan Morris entered and yielded a two-run double to J.J. Hardy. Starling Marte countered with an RBI single in the seventh for Pittsburgh, but Markakis tied it in the bottom half with a solo shot off Morris. Wieters won it in the 10th with a drive to right off Pimentel (2-1) that soared just inside the foul pole. Tommy Hunter (1-0) got two outs for the win. Earlier, Baltimore ace Chris Tillman struggled through a 49-pitch first inning that could be attributed in part to a seven-day layoff. The right-hander issued three walks, two with the bases loaded, before getting three outs. Pittsburgh ended Tillmans outing in the fifth when Andrew McCutchen doubled and scored on a triple by Gaby Sanchez for a 3-0 lead. Pedro Alvarez had four hits for the Pirates, finishing a home run short of the cycle. But Pittsburgh stranded 15 and went 5 for 16 with runners in scoring position and lost for the 15th time in 19 games. "We keep fighting and fighting, and we put ourselves in scoring position and we havent been able to cash in the way we need to," manager Clint Hurdle said. "But we keep showing up. The bats were better throughout the series. ... We had men on base throughout the game, and still looking for that big hit." The first game was all about Pearce, designated for assignment by Baltimore on April 22 and released five days later. After turning down an offer from Toronto, the first baseman was re-signed Monday after Chris Davis went on the 15-day disabled list. Pearce singled in the third, fifth and sixth innings of the opener and was solid in the field. "Stevie gave us a real lift," manager Buck Showalter said. Alvarez had two hits and an RBI for the Pirates, who stranded 13 and went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The defeat ended Pittsburghs nine-game road winning streak in interleague play. Trailing 1-0 when the rain stopped play, Baltimore regrouped during the break and sent nine batters to the plate in a three-run fifth. After a single, walk and an error loaded the bases against Charlie Morton (0-4), Pearce hit an RBI single and Ryan Flaherty grounded an opposite-field, two-run single to left field. Pearce singled in a run in the sixth, and Markakis hit his first homer of the season in the seventh for a 5-1 lead. Orioles starter Bud Norris (2-2) allowed one run in 5 1-3 innings, and Hunter got the last out with runners on second and third for his seventh save. Morton started well but came unhinged after the rain delay and lost his fourth consecutive start. The right-hander permitted four runs, two earned, and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. "I kept grooving fast balls to Steve Pearce and he kept putting good swings on them," Morton lamented. NOTES: Pittsburgh returns home to face Toronto on Friday night. ... Orioles LHP Troy Patton returned from a 25-game suspension before the second game. Baltimore also activated Machado from the DL, and optioned INF Steve Lombardozzi and RHP Josh Stinson to Triple-A Norfolk. ... The last time Pittsburgh played a doubleheader on the road was in July 2011, at Washington. ... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (right knee inflammation) allowed three runs and four hits over 3 1-3 innings in a rehabilitation assignment for Double-A Altoona against Erie. ... Baltimores rainout against Tampa Bay on April 15 was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on June 27. Andre Smith Cardinals Jersey .

AB de Villiers blasted 82 from 42 balls for RCB, with seven fours and six sixes, putting on 157 for the second wicket with Virat Kohli (71 off 51 balls) after Chris Gayle fell cheaply for one.Shane Watson (19 off 8) smashed three-straight sixes later in the innings, and 18-year-old Sarfaraz Khan a stunning 35 not out off 10 balls as RCBs star-studded batting line-up racked up 227-4 from their 20 overs.Sunrisers skipper David Warner cracked a 21-ball fifty in reply before falling to his former international team-mate, Watson, in the ninth over - his side ultimately falling short on 182-6.After being put into bat by Sunrisers, Gayle was somewhat unlucky to be bowled round his legs by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-55) in the second over, the ball deflecting off his thigh pad onto the stumps.But De Villiers signalled the start of RCBs blistering assault when taking 15 from Ashish Nehras fourth over - striking two fours and a huge straight six - while 16 came from Kumars fifth.Matters were made worse for Sunrisers as Nehra left the field with an injury to his foot, one ball into his third over and the 11th of the innings and RCB punished the depleted attack, picking up a sensational 139 runs from the final 10 - De Villiers reaching his fifty off 27 balls.Kohli was even more emphatic in notching his half century, hitting legspinner Karn Sharma (0-57) for a hhuge six over wide long-on off his 40th ball, but finally fell in the 16th over, beaten by a Kumar yorker.ddddddddddddUnfazed, Watson came in and smoked Sharma for three sixes in a row before the impressive Mustafizur Rahman (2-26) picked him and De Villiers up with back-to-back balls.Again RCB quickly bounced back - Sarfaraz smacking four fours and a six in five-straight deliveries as Kumars penultimate over of the innings went for 28.Faced with a daunting 228-run target, Warner (58 off 25) didnt waste any time, smashing the first of his five sixes off Adam Milnes second over - 35 runs coming off the first three.That momentum was somewhat stalled as offspinner Parvez Rasool (1-31) bowled Shikhar Dhawan for eight, but Warner smacked 19 from legspinner Yuzvendra Chahals first over to bring up his fifty and continue Sunrisers charge.He finally fell to Watson (2-30) in the ninth, the first of four wickets to fall for 15 runs in three overs, and although Ashish Reddy (32 off 17) and Eoin Morgan (22no off 18) put on 46 for the sixth wicket, Sunrisers left themselves with too much to do.Reddy hit Chahal for a pair of sixes in the 14th over, but with 89 needed from the final five, he was then bowled by Watson.Sharma had a bit of fun with an unbeaten 26 off 17 balls, striking three fours and a six in the final overs, but Sunrisers fell 45 short.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing Kolkata Knight Riders take on Mumbai Indians from 3pm on Sky Sports 2 on Wednesday.
