Davis hits 3 HRs as Orioles hand Blue Jays their 6th straight loss, 6-4
BALTIMORE – Chris Davis hit three home runs in four at-bats and had four RBIs to lead the Baltimore Orioles past the skidding Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 Friday night.
Davis hit solo shots off Carlos Villanueva (6-4) in the second and fourth innings, then greeted Steve Delabar in the sixth with an opposite-field, two-run drive to left field to put Baltimore up 5-1.
Facing Brad Lincoln in the eighth inning with a chance to become the 17th player in baseball history to hit four home runs in a game, Davis took three mighty swings but struck out on four pitches.
Zach Britton (3-1) allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings for the Orioles, who have won seven of 11 to remain in the thick of the AL wild-card race.
