    Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado apologized for his role in Sunday's dugout-clearing scrum with the Oakland Athletics in which a bat flew out of his hands and went down the third-base line.

    "I want to apologize to all my teammates, my coaching staff, the entire Orioles organization, and Oakland and to my fans for the way I acted," he told the team-owned MASN network. "That's not the way we play baseball around here."

    MLB is expected to hand down some kind of discipline for Machado.

    Machado, who wasn't made available to the media other than his comments to MASN, also made a point to apologize to A's catcher Derek Norris. He said hitting Norris with his backswings was unintentional. Norris was taken out of the game after one of the backswings and replaced by John Jaso. Both catchers called out Machado after the game.
