Orioles Beat Yankees 11-3 For 5th Straight Win
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Chris Davis homered and drove in four runs, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Michael Pineda and the New York Yankees 11-3 Friday night for their season-high fifth straight win.
Caleb Joseph hit a solo shot and Jimmy Paredes had three singles and two RBIs for the Orioles, who reached .500 (30-30) for the first time since May 5. Baltimore has won seven of eight following a five-game skid.
Davis delivered an RBI single in the first inning and a three-run drive in the third, both against Pineda (7-3). The slugger came into the game 1 for 11 with eight strikeouts in his career against the right-hander.
Ubaldo Jimenez (4-3) gave up three runs in five innings to earn his first win since May 11. Although the right-hander struggled from the outset, he kept the damage to a minimum and received plenty of offensive support.
