SAN DIEGO -- Mark Trumbos magnificent two-run home run into the second deck in left field was the 55th of the month for the Baltimore Orioles, tying the big league record for long balls in June.Some guys are aware of it, some arent, Trumbo said after the Orioles routed the San Diego Padres for the second straight game, 12-6 on Wednesday. Its a special thing but its not something anyones going to gloat about or spend too much time thinking about. It just goes to show were on a nice little run.Are they ever. Trumbo hit his major league-leading 23rd homer and drove in four runs for the AL East-leading Orioles, who won their seventh straight game.With one game left in the month, Baltimore tied the 1996 Oakland As for the most homers in June. Overall, the Orioles lead the majors with 124.The Orioles hit four home runs in sweeping the two-game series, including three in Tuesday nights 11-7 win.When youre winning, everything is that much better, Trumbo said. This in particular is a product of a couple guys getting real hot real quick and some of the other guys sustaining what were doing.Trumbo said this is easily the best lineup hes been on.Consistently, too. Theres just not too many teams that are going to be able to do what we do. Its kind of the best-case scenario for what we were looking for coming into the season.Were getting contributions from everyone, Trumbo added. I think theres full confidence in one through nine throughout this lineup. Theres really no holes. You can chose to go at someone or pitch around someone, but the guys behind them generally have been pretty good about picking up the slack. Anytime youre that deep it can make for a tough time for some of the opposing teams.Trumbo hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and a two-run double in the ninth. Manny Machado had two hits and three RBI, and pitcher Yovani Gallardo singled twice and scored a run.After San Diego lefty Christian Friedrich (4-3) retired his first nine batters, he walked Adam Jones and allowed Jonathan Schoops RBI double. Machado hit an RBI single and, with one out, Trumbo homered into the second deck in left field to make it 4-0.The Orioles scored two runs in the fifth on a throwing error by Friedrich with two outs and the basess loaded.dddddddddddd Friedrich fielded Chris Davis nubber down the line and made an errant throw to Wil Myers at first. Padres manager Andy Green was ejected for arguing with umpire Bill Miller, apparently about whether Davis ran outside the lane.Its a tough call, Green said. I didnt have the expectation it was a very easy call to make, because theyre watching the ball roll down the line. Foul or fair, thats the first thing theyre looking at. All I can watch is the baserunner, so Im starting at Chris Davis. As soon as he passes where the ball is, he veered into fair territory.Green said the ejected was justified in the sense that I was out there longer than I shouldve and probably not going to leave until I get ejected? Yeah, thats probably justifiable.Said Friedrich: It lets you know hes got your back. It fires you up a little bit. You know hes into the game no matter the score, and is always behind his guys.The only costly mistake by Gallardo (3-1) was allowing Brett Wallaces three-run homer with two outs in the sixth. Gallardo was outhitting the Padres 2-1 after getting singles in the fifth and sixth. He opened the Padres sixth by allowing a single by Melvin Upton Jr. and walking Myers. Gallardo struck out Matt Kemp and Yangervis Solarte before allowing Wallaces homer to straightaway center, his fifth.Gallardo didnt allow a hit until rookie Alex Dickersons single with one out in the fifth. He gave up three hits and three runs in six innings, struck out six and walked three.Friedrich allowed six runs, four earned, and five hits in five innings. He struck out seven and walked two.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Andrew Casher (strained neck) is expected to come off the 15-day disabled list Sunday to start against the New York Yankees.UP NEXTOrioles: RHP Chris Tillman (10-1, 3.52 ERA) starts the opener of a four-game series at Seattle on Thursday night.
