SARASOTA, Fla. — J.J. Hardy homered for the third straight game, Manny Machado for the second in a row, and Chris Davis hit his second home run of the spring as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 16-8 on Saturday.

The home runs from Machado and Davis were part of a six-run sixth inning against Roenis Elias, who’s a candidate for Boston’s fifth starter’s job.

Minor league catcher Audry Perez added a three-run homer.

Mark Trumbo had three RBI for the Orioles.

Yovani Gallardo started for the Orioles and allowed seven runs and eight hits in 32/3 innings.

Boston scored five runs in the second inning against Gallardo, who has a spring ERA of 16.88.

Mookie Betts had three hits and Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox.

BOSTON CATCHER Christian Vazquez, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, has had a good spring, but is unlikely to start the season in the major leagues, according to Manager John Farrell.

“If it’s not Opening Day, he’s making strides and getting closer to that,” he said.

BREWERS: Milwaukee will start the season without reliever Will Smith, who tore a ligament in his right knee while taking his spikes off after a game.

METS: Jacob deGrom pitched six-plus strong innings and drove in a run as the New York Mets and Atlanta played to a 10-inning 3-3 tie.

ROYALS: Edinson Volquez will start Kansas City’s opener April 3 against the New York Mets in a rematch of the World Series Game 5, Royals Manager Ned Yost announced.

INDIANS: Manager Terry Francona said reliever Joba Chamberlain has made the team as a non-roster invitee.
