    Dixon Machado came to the plate with only one big league homer to his name, but the way this game was going, anything seemed possible.

    "Walking to the plate I was thinking, `What if I hit a homer right here?" the Detroit infielder said. "He threw me a fastball away but when he came in with a pitch I was ready for it and I just hit it hard."

    Machado led off the bottom of the ninth with a home run , capping a wild final two innings and lifting the Tigers over the Baltimore Orioles6-5 on Wednesday. Detroit led 2-1 before each team scored three runs in the eighth and one in the ninth.
