CHICAGO -- Rick Renteria knew all about Chris Coghlans
career numbers against Bud Norris, and felt he was
playing too well to take him out of the lineup. It proved
to be one nice call by the rookie manager. Coghlan
finally solved Norris with a bases-loaded triple that
sparked the Chicago Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles on a soggy Saturday at Wrigley Field.
Justin Grimm (4-2) pitched 3 1-3 hitless innings after a
rain delay of 3 hours, 9 minutes, helping the last-place
Cubs win their second straight against the AL East
leaders. Logan Watkins had two hits and two RBIs, and
touted rookie Javier Baez hit his seventh homer in the
seventh, an opposite-field liner into the basket in
right. Coghlan was 0 for 15 with six strikeouts against
Norris (11-8) before he capped Chicagos four-run second
with his fifth triple of the season. "Id be lying to you
if I didnt say I saw it," Renteria said, referring to
Coghlans trouble with the veteran right-hander. "But all
things being equal, the way hes been swinging the bat, I
really thought he was going to have a good chance to do
something today." Coghlan, who is batting .304 with 22
RBIs in his last 51 games, said he appreciated the vote
of confidence from Renteria. "Hes the man," Coghlan said.
Chicago will try Sunday for its first series sweep since
winning three straight at Boston from June 30 to July 2.
The Orioles had seven hits after they announced before
the game that All-Star third baseman Manny Machado had
decided to have season-ending right knee surgery. Machado
hurt himself on an awkward swing against the Yankees on
Aug. 11. Its a difficult blow for Baltimore, which is in
prime position for its first division title since 1997.
It leads New York by seven games after the Yankees beat
the White Sox 5-3 earlier in the day. The Orioles swept a
three-game set against the White Sox before crossing town
for their first series at Wrigley since 2008. They lost
4-1 on Friday when Jake Arrieta pitched seven solid
innings against his former team. A day later, they were
still trying to find their prolific offence. "They
pitched real well," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
"They made a lot of quality pitches. We couldnt string
anything together." Adam Jones hit an RBI double in the
first and Norris helped himself with a run-scoring
infield hit in the second. But the Cubs responded with
four runs in the bottom half, grabbing the lead for good
on Coghlans two-out liner into the right-field corner.
"It was a tough day today," said Norris, who had won his
last three starts. "The big, long rain delay kinda hurt
us. We just have to let this one go." After Baez struck
out for the final out of the second, the umpires waved
the players off the field while a storm front passed
through the area. The crowd of 37,156 cheered loudly when
the grounds crew successfully pulled the tarp over the
infield, and there was more applause in the final innings
of Chicago-based Jackie Robinson Wests victory in the
Little League World Series. The big cheer for the grounds
crew came after Tuesday nights game against San Francisco
was called and then suspended after the workers had
trouble covering the infield during a popup storm.
TRAINERS ROOM Orioles: Machados 2013 season cut short by
a similar injury to his left knee. He likely will return
to Dr. Neal ElAttrache in the next week or so for the
procedure on his right knee. Cubs: RF Justin Ruggiano was
scratched due to left ankle soreness. He was replaced by
Ryan Sweeney. ... RHP Brian Schlitters rehab was
transferred to Triple-A Iowa. The reliever was placed on
the disabled list on Aug. 10 with right shoulder
inflammation. UP NEXT Cubs LHP Tsuyoshi Wada (3-1, 2.75
ERA) and Orioles RHP Miguel Gonzalez (6-6, 3.80 ERA) meet
in Sundays series finale. Wada signed with Baltimore in
December 2011, but injured his elbow and never pitched
for the Orioles. Gonzalez is coming up from the minors to
replace Ubaldo Jimenez in Baltimores rotation. WORTH
NOTING RHP Jacob Turner, who was acquired in an Aug. 8
trade with Miami, will make his first start for the Cubs
on Wednesday in Cincinnati. LHP Travis Wood starts the
series opener against his former team, and RHP Jake
Arrieta gets the ball in the finale of the three-game set
on Thursday afternoon.

-- Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew
practiced in a limited capacity Friday, a positive sign
he might be able to play against the Tennessee
Titans.Loughborough Lightning remain firmly in the hunt
for a top-four finish after holding on for a tense 51-48
win at Celtic Dragons. After a free-scoring display in
the third quarter, Loughborough appeared to be cruising
to victory, but they had to withstand a determined late
rally from the Dragons to claim the win, which leaves the
Lightning three points adrift of fourth-placed Team Bath
in the Vitality Netball Superleague.In a lively opening
quarter, wing attack Hannah Joseph swiftly found holes in
the home teams defence and the reliable Peace Proscova
fired the Lightning into an early lead. Rival shooter
Georgia Rowe was equally accurate for the Dragons,
utilising her height to haul in passes, but Kadeen
Corbins attacking invention helped Loughborough into a
13-10 advantage. Peace Proscovia was a prolific scorer
for Lightning The Lightning pulled into a five-goal lead
in the second quarter, with Ama Agbeze and Lauren Massey
cutting out any loose passes from the Dragons.But Massey
was forced off with a hand iinjury and the Dragons
trimmed the deficit to 24-27, nearly adding another goal
before the half-time break as Afa Rusivakula shot
narrowly off target.ddddddddddddReacting to his rally
from the hosts, the third quarter saw a renewed effort
from Loughborough and the fired-up Lauren Nicholls was
leading a determined rearguard action.With the Dragons
attack starting to falter, Loughborough looked to
Proscovia and Corbin to ease them into a comfortable 44-
35 cushion. Georgia Rowe spearheaded a late rally for
Celtic Dragons But Trish Wilcox freshened up her line-up
in the fourth quarter and the Dragons cut the gap to just
two goals, partly due to composed shooting from Rowe.
The introduction of Vanessa Walker would ease the nerves
in the Loughborough line-up and she supplied crucial
goals in the final few minutes. Also See: Vitality
