ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles trip to Tampa Bay ended up more damaging than they could have ever imagined. All-Star third baseman Manny Machado went down with a potentially serious leg injury, Alexi Casilla left with a head injury and the Orioles were pushed to the brink of being eliminated from the AL wild-race Monday with a 5-4 loss to the Rays. "It was a tough four days and it culminated in a lot of bad stuff today," Brian Roberts said. "The losses and the injuries and feeling like we had a good chance coming in to Tampa, to walk out with this kind of feeling is tough for everybody." James Loneys pinch-hit home run off Tommy Hunter ended the series for the Orioles, who fell five behind the idle Cleveland Indians for the second wild card with six games left to play. Tampa leads the Indians by a game. Manager Buck Showalter tried to stay positive all weekend but found it difficult after this loss. "I dont want to say depressing; it probably is," Showalter said. "But more whats going on right now (in the locker room) is teammate to teammate, with two guys going down in the lineup." Both injuries occurred during the seventh inning. Machados left leg buckled when he stepped on first base running out an infield single. He was taken off on a stretcher. "Im sure we wont get a full diagnosis until we get an MRI back in Baltimore (on Tuesday)," Showalter said while acknowledging that "it certainly doesnt look very promising right now." Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, who had a better view of Machados collapse, had a more stark analysis. "Its horrible," Maddon said. "Hate to see that. This young man blows out his knee, possibly, and then this collision in right field. You can see how badly they wanted it, too." Casilla, playing second base, collided with right fielder Nick Markakis while chasing Wil Myers two-run single in the bottom of the seventh. Casilla actually caught the ball for what would have been the third out, but couldnt hold onto it when his head struck Markakis thigh. "I thought about doing a slide, saw him out of the corner of my eye, tried to pull up and get out of the way," Markakis said. "It was just bang bang, him coming full speed, me coming full speed. It was like trying to stop a train on a dime. Im not a doctor or anything, but when he was out there, I could have sworn he was knocked out. He was laying there; (Adam Jones) and I were trying to get him to sit still until somebody got out there. He kind of looked dazed and confused." Casilla finished the inning, but was taken out in the eighth. "I probably should have taken him out but I didnt know what he had hit until between innings," Showalter said. "Hes going to get a CAT scan and stay overnight here, not travel. He got a little foggy-headed between innings and had to come out of there." Loney batted for Sean Rodriguez and lined a 0-1 pitch from Hunter (6-5) down the right field line to win it. Joel Peralta (3-8) pitched a perfect ninth for the Rays, who have won nine of 12. Chris Davis hit his major league-best 52nd homer for Baltimore. Machado singled for the Orioles first hit leading off the fourth and Davis followed with his two-run shot off Chris Archer as part of a three-run inning that put Baltimore ahead 3-1. J.J. Hardy had an RBI single. Going back to the final 11 innings of the Orioles 5-4, 18-inning loss to the Rays Friday night, Baltimore had just two runs and 10 hits over 32 innings before getting the three runs on four hits in the fourth. Archer gave up four runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings. Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen also went 4 1-3 innings, allowing two runs and six hits.

Though still leading the AL East, Toronto has lost four of its last five games and was without slugger Jose Bautista in the starting lineup for a seventh straight game in Sundays 4-0 defeat to the Chicago White Sox. Bautista has been out with a strained left hamstring, but was able to make a pinch-hit appearance in the loss. He grounded into a fielders choice. Owner of a .304 average and 15 homers through 78 games, Bautista could make his first start since June 22 today. "Everybody knows I cant go out on the field and not be 100 percent," Bautista said on Torontos official website. "Hopefully by Tuesday I feel better and I can be in the outfield. If not, I can DH the whole game and play the day after. "I did all the testing that I couldve done in order to see if I could pinch- hit (Sunday)." Drew Hutchison would love to see Bautista in the lineup as the Toronto right- hander tries to avoid a third straight losing start. Both of Hutchisons recent setbacks came at the hands of the New York Yankees, who got to him for a total of eight runs and 13 hits while drawing six walks over 10 1/3 innings in the two games. Hutchison fell to 5-6 with a 4.000 earned run average on the year, including a mark of 1-4 with an 8.dddddddddddd13 ERA in six starts at home. The 23-year-old is set to face Milwaukee for the first time and will go up against Marco Estrada, a winner in two straight. Estrada snapped a two-start losing streak on June 20 in Colorado despite giving up seven runs over 5 2/3 innings. His offense took him off the hook in a 13-10 decision before the righty rebounded with a solid victory over Washington on Wednesday. In the 9-2 win, Estrada gave up two runs on two hits and four walks over 6 1/3 innings, improving to 7-4 with a 5.06 ERA on the year. "This was a real important outing for (Estrada). Its important for him to get back into that mode and pitch the way we know he can," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. The 30-year-old has never faced Toronto. Estradas win over Washington kick started a four-game winning streak that came to an end with Sundays 10-4 loss to the Rockies. Ryan Braun homered in defeat, while Yovani Gallardo yielded eight runs -- five earned -- over five innings. Neither shortstop Jean Segura (leg cramps) or center fielder Carlos Gomez (strained neck) started Sundays loss, but both could return to the lineup today. The Brewers, who are making their first trip to Toronto since 2005, are 7-2 against the Blue Jays since moving to the National League in 1998. ' ' '
