LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Schoop doubled in the go-ahead runs with two outs in the 14th inning, lifting the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday in a game that included a stadium-record 36 strikeouts.Schoop drove in Manny Machado and Chris Davis, who had consecutive singles, when center fielder Trayce Thompson tried to make a backhanded diving catch and the ball rolled well out of his reach.Mychal Givens (6-1) got the win. Zach Britton got his 25th save in as many chances.Mark Trumbo hit two leadoff home runs for the Orioles, who took two out of three to win the interleague series.Chris Hatcher (5-4) got the loss.The Dodgers had the potential tying runs on in the bottom of the 14th, when manager Dave Roberts was ejected by home plate umpire Pat Hoberg for arguing balls and strikes on Howie Kendrick.With one out, Adrian Gonzalez doubled and Thompson walked. Kendrick grounded into a fielders choice and Thompson was out at second. Yasmani Grandal was intentionally walked to load the bases before Hatcher grounded out to the pitcher to end the nearly 5 1/2-hour game.Chase Utley had a career-high six hits for the Dodgers, who struck out 18 times. Thompson fanned four times as did newly minted rookie All-Star Corey Seager, whose double in the seventh extended his hitting streak to 19 games, longest in the National League this season.Utley became the first Dodger with that many hits since Shawn Green in 2002.The combined strikeouts bettered the old mark of 32 set by the Braves and Dodgers on Aug. 3, 1996.The Dodgers ran out of position players in the 13th, sending pitcher Scott Kazmir to bat for reliever Louis Coleman and he grounded out.The Dodgers tagged out the potential winning run at the plate in the 13th.

With one out, Machado walked and Davis grounded out to third. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was playing on the right side of the infield and with no one covering third on the defensive shift, Machado advanced two bases. After an intentional walk to Trumbo, Schoop grounded out to shortstop.The Dodgers missed a slew of opportunities. They failed to cash in with the bases loaded in the seventh and eighth innings, and Gonzalez grounded into an inning-ending double play in the 11th.Gonzalez singled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the fifth, giving the Dodgers a 4-3 lead.Trumbos first homer came on an 0-2 pitch from starter Bud Norris in the fourth, putting the Orioles back in front 3-2.Baltimore tied the game 2-all on Machados double-play groundout in the third.

The 23-year-old right-hander made a strong case for it, striking out seven over 2 1/3 innings of relief Wednesday. He hasnt allowed an earned run over 14 1/3 innings in his last six appearances, lowering his ERA from 4.94 to 3.08.The Dodgers threatened in the seventh when they loaded the bases against Bundy, who struck out Thompson and Kendrick on a called third strike to end the inning.SCORELESS RELIEFThe Dodgers Adam Liberatore has tossed 23 consecutive scoreless innings of relief since May 20, tying John Candelarias club record from 1991.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: OF Andre Ethier, who broke his foot in spring training, is aiming to return in early August.

A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. The positive spin on Englands challenge in India in the coming weeks is to accept they go into it unburdened - wonderfully unburdened - by expectation.They are second favourites for the Test series in the way an antelope is second favourite in an encounter with a lion. The team psychologist is most unlikely to be spend much time warning of the dangers of complacency.Already, comparisons with 1993 are becoming apparent. On that tour, a tour that resulted in a whitewash series win for India, England attempted to play to their strengths and went into the first Test with an attack containing four seamers while the hosts selected three spinners. On that tour, England put their trust in a leg-spinner (Ian Salisbury) in the forlorn hope that his wicket-taking deliveries would compensate for a relative lack of control against batsmen well accustomed to playing spin bowling. On that tour, England recalled a veteran off-spinner (40-year-old John Emburey) and thrust their reserve wicket-keeper (Richard Blakey) into the Test team and found he struggled to compensate for the lack of experience in such conditions. Their best keeper, Jack Russell, failed to make the tour party on the grounds that his batting wasnt up to scratch. Sounds familiar, doesnt it?The comparisons do not end there. In 1993, security concerns were such that the first ODI, scheduled to be held in Ahmedabad, was abandoned which led to some players growing reluctant to leave their hotels.Let us not dwell upon the non-selection of a senior player (35-year-old David Gower on that occasion) with a fine record in such conditions. Maybe no England batsman has played a better Test innings in India than Kevin Pietersens in Mumbai in 2012; whatever the rights and wrongs of the episode, it seems a shame such a talent (now aged 36) is no longer on the biggest stage. Equally, it is a shame that Monty Panesar is nowhere near selection these days. Aged 34, he should be at his peak.England are missing James Taylor, too. There is no-one to blame for his illness, of course, and it would be disingenuous to pretend that he had nailed his Test career at the time it was abruptly curtailed. But, with his ability to manoeuvre spin bowling, the suspicion remains he would have been a vital part of Englands middle-order on this tour.The Pietersen debacle is an example of how decisions made long ago can colour the present. So, just as the perfectly reasonable - admirable, even, in its consistency and patience - decision to persist with James Vince and Alex Hales throughout the English summer has left the team once again looking to fill holes in the batting line-up, so the decision to agree to this tour schedule has left England facing an imperfect cocktail of weariness and unpreparedness.It would be simplistic to point the finger of blame at anyone for the schedule of five Tests in seven weeks without a warm-up game. While the current ECB chairman seems to have suggested it was the fault of the previous regime - forgetting, perhaps, that he was vice-chairman before his promotion - it is a systematic problem not the fault of an individual.There is simply no time: this England squad left the UK almost the moment the season was over - several of them were rested from key end of season matches with the tour schedule in mind - and they return only four days before Christmas. If they want - perfectly reasonably - time off with their families on tour and to be home for Christmas, something has to give.Remember, the limited-overs squad returns to India almost as soon as the new year has started and England will then play the longest home season in the history of international cricket in 2017. The business model is broken and, until it is mended, the fortunes of the team will always be compromised.Equally, by arresting the disparity in priority between red and white ball cricket that has always pervaded in England, the last 18-months or so have wiitnessed a rapid improvement in their limited-overs cricket.dddddddddddd If they go on to win that long-awaited first global ODI event over the next few years, it may well all seem worth it.But it comes at a cost. So, encouraging Jos Buttler to play in the IPL - again, a perfectly legitimate decision - meant that he was unable to benefit from playing in the County Championship. He comes into this series having played just one first-class match since he was dropped about a year ago and has had little chance to resurrect the faults that led to his previous struggles. He is, for sure, a special talent. But has he been given the best chance to succeed? Clearly, he has not.Those shifting priorities could become more of an issue in future years. There can be little serious doubt that the ECB hierarchy is prepared to dilute the quality of the county championship in order to establish a new-look domestic T20 competition. The best players will rarely, if ever, play red ball county cricket in the late-summer weeks when spin bowling would normally be at its most prevalent in England and, as a consequence, their ability to bowl it or play it in such conditions will be compromised. The ECBs vision of the future - with the value and volume of Tests diminishing fast - may be accurate. Or they may be accomplices in the act.The standard of spin bowling in England has probably never been lower. Young players are provided so few opportunities to play in spin-friendly conditions and, with white ball cricket ever more important, it is hard to see how the situation will improve. Maybe, not so long from now, skills likely to be crucial in this series will be all but obsolete.England are not going to get better at playing or delivering spin until it becomes a priority and the truth is that it isnt. Defeat in India would hurt England but, if they go on to beat South Africa, win the Champions Trophy, and win the Ashes, its a pain with which they will cope.None of this constitutes an excuse for England. They are not the only team with a hectic schedule - Indias is equally daunting - and they are not the only team which struggles in foreign conditions. It is just an explanation and an observation.But we are getting ahead of ourselves. We are conducting the autopsy into Englands failure while the patient is still in decent health. England have proven, with victories in South Africa, with success in the 2015 Ashes and with their remarkable win here in 2012, that they deserve more respect than that.They have more enlightened management, more positive outlooks and more unity than many previous England touring parties. Certainly far more than the 1993 squad. They have at least a couple of men who have already established themselves as greats of English cricket (Alastair Cook, James Anderson and arguably Stuart Broad) and a couple more (Joe Root and Ben Stokes) who may well do so.And the pressure of expectation is all on India. If England can put together a decent start, perhaps the weight of a billion hopes will start to weigh heavy. Or if India try to destroy England rather than just trying to beat them - if they look for revenge for 2012 and 2014, if they prepare vicious turners or attempt to hit Moeen Ali and James Anderson into oblivion - it may let them in. That old line about revenge being best served cold remains true.So of course England have a chance. But success in series like this will always come against the odds as long as the value of spin in England is so low and while the importance of the County Championship is being eroded. And while the ECB talk a good game about the pre-eminence of Test cricket, their actions dont match their words. As Meat Loaf almost put it in the best-selling song of 1993: theyll do anything for Test cricket, but they wont do that. ' ' '
