BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles traditionally thrust a pie in the face of a successful teammate while hes being interviewed after a game at Camden Yards, and Nick Markakis was poised to be the recipient. Will Redmond Jersey . On Saturday night, however, his teammates thought Markakis deserved better. He had played out of position for the sake of the team and singled in the winning run in the 10th inning after two throwing errors by pitcher Danny Duffy laid the groundwork for a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. So J.J. Hardy handed Markakis the pie and a fork, and he happily took a bite. Markakis, a Gold Glove right fielder, played first base for the first time since 2011. He was there because slugger Chris Davis was sidelined with a strained left oblique, an injury that will put the major leagues reigning home run king on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. Not only did Markakis play the position flawlessly, but he drove in two runs and ended the game with a deft opposite-field single to left. "It was an interesting day. Long day," Markakis said. "Get to the ballpark, Hey, you are playing first base. All right, strap it up and lets go. Its always fun. Its a different view of the game, a different look. It definitely goes a lot quicker in the infield than the outfield." The Orioles went eight straight innings without scoring before facing Duffy, who had pitched 8 1-3 scoreless innings on the season. After Duffy (1-1) hit Jonathan Schoop to begin the 10th, the left-hander threw wildly to second base after fielding a bunt by David Lough. Jemile Weeks followed with another bunt, and on this one Duffys throw went high and wide to first, loading the bases. "The boys battled their butts off all game and I came in and just wasnt sharp," Duffy said. "I got ahead of the first guy. I tried to go up-and-in on him. I thought it was a good pitch and the ball got away from me. Pitchers fielding practice, man. Its a simple game and I just wasnt sharp. I didnt do my job tonight." Louis Coleman replaced Duffy and struck out Nelson Cruz before Markakis delivered the game-winner. Zach Britton (3-0), the sixth Baltimore pitcher, struck out Jarrod Dyson with two outs and a runner on second in the top of the 10th. Kansas City fell to 0-12 when failing to score at least four runs. The Royals -- who stranded 11 and went 3 for 11 with runners in scoring position -- are 11-0 when scoring four or more runs. Knowing they would be without Davis, the Orioles recalled Weeks from Triple-A Norfolk to provide an extra bat. Markakis, meanwhile, played his fourth career game at first base. "He didnt bat an eye," manager Buck Showalter said. "He looks at it as a way to make a contribution. Theres a lot of Gold Glove right fielders who would have broke out in hives if you asked them to play first base." Jeremy Guthrie started for Kansas City and gave up two runs before getting two outs, and then blanked his former team over the next six innings before leaving with the game tied. The right-hander finished up by getting David Lough to hit into a double play with runners on the corners and one out in the seventh. "We did a nice job of getting back in that game after Guthrie gave up two runs in the first," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He settled down unbelievably. He did a great job of pitching out of a jam in the seventh inning." Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs, nine hits and two walks over a season-high seven innings. The left-hander ended his outing with his sixth strikeout, against Alex Gordon with two on and two outs. The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the first. Weeks hit a leadoff single in his first at-bat with Baltimore, Cruz walked and Markakis delivered an RBI single before Adam Jones drove in a run by hitting into a fielders choice. The Royals used doubles by Alcides Escobar and Eric Hosmer to get a run in the third. Chen avoided further damage by retiring Gordon on a grounder with the bases loaded and two outs. After Weeks tripled with two outs in the fifth and Cruz looked at a third strike, Kansas City pulled even in the sixth. Gordon singled and Danny Valencia beat out a chopper to third before Justin Maxwell blooped a two-out RBI single to centre.

Escobar hurt his knee in the 10th inning on Schoops slide into second base, but he stayed in the game and Yost said, "I think hes going to be all right." Breeland Speaks Chiefs Jersey .

And the 26-year-old Durham man says he was stunned to learn he had managed to continue bowling despite suffering a severe ankle injury.Wood has endured very bad luck with injuries over the last 12 months or so and will undergo surgery on his ankle this week. However, the fractured bone he suffered last month is not related to the injuries which required a pair of operations last winter and Wood is hopeful he will be able to concentrate on his career once he has completed his rehabilitation.Unfortunately I am going to have to go for a third ankle operation, Wood told Sky Sports News HQ.I have actually broken my ankle - I cant quite believe that is what it is, but I got the news last week.I went in for a test where they pump dye into your vein, and it goes round and sees what is happening with your bones.It is sort of like a bone scan and apparently mine lit up like a Christmas tree round my ankle, so unfortunately I have to go in on Thursday morning and get this floating bone that I have snapped off, taken out.

It turns out that, although he continued to bowl, Wood suffered the injury while playing for Durham in a County Championship match.I think I have been playing on a stress fracture, he said. It is quite hard to believe.I was saying to the physio at Durham and England that it was a little bit sore and then, during the game against Surrey for Durham, it became swollen up like a balloon.I said something cant be right here, went for that scan, and unfortunately I have snapped a bit of bone off.Wood will miss the pre-Christmmas Tests in India but could potentially be fit in time to face the West Indies in the Caribbean. Chad Henne Jersey. That is still my target, he said. It is a long way ahead so I have just got to concentrate on getting this right and getting myself sorted first.If the selectors were to put my name into the hat, I would love to be involved then, but that is a long way away at the minute.I will just have to wait and see. Wood impressed upon his return this summer but will now require a third ankle operation Wood has made a big impact on the international scene since breaking into the England set-up.He took the wicket that won the Ashes for England at Trent Bridge last summer and played in the first two Tests of the subsequent series against Pakistan before he was forced to the sidelines by injury.He returned to action in the latter part of last summer and played in four ODIs against Pakistan but is now facing more time out of action.It is tough mentally, that is probably the hardest thing, said Wood.Thinking of the rehab now and getting yourself sorted and going through all those times when you are sat around in the house doing nothing, trying to let it heal. That is probably the most frustrating time of all.I just hope this one can be easily fixed, that its third time lucky, and I can concentrate on the cricket from then on.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
