to Chris Davis. Theyre all flying off his bat and into the seats at a record
pace. Davis homered twice to raise his major league-leading total to 30, and the
Baltimore Orioles beat the Yankees 11-3 Saturday night to extend New Yorks
losing streak to four games. Davis hit a three-run drive in the first inning and
added a two-run shot in the sixth, his third multihomer game of the season. The
five RBIs gave him 79, second-most in the big leagues and just six short of his
career high. Davis is the first player in Orioles history to hit 30 home runs
before the end of June. With one more long ball in the next 14 games, Davis will
break the franchise record for home runs before the All-Star break, set in 1996
by Brady Anderson. "You cant make mistakes," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
"We made two mistakes with two curveballs tonight. We left them up in the zone
and he hit them both out. Hes not hitting 1.000, but I will say he is having a
tremendous year. You have to make your pitches." Given that Davis career high
for home runs in a season is 33, who could have seen this coming? "I dont think
its anything you can predict," Davis said. "I think its something you obviously
work hard toward in the off-season to try and carry it into spring training and
then into the season. Im not going up there to try and hit home runs. Im just
trying to put good swings on good pitches. I think thats the biggest thing."
Davis scored three runs and upped his batting average to .333. The five RBIs
tied a season high. "You can see him grinding and working on it," Orioles
manager Buck Showalter said. "Hes not satisfied. He wants to continue to
contribute at a high level for his teammates." Ryan Flaherty also homered for
the Orioles, who built a 9-0 lead in the third against David Phelps (5-5).
Baltimore will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday. "Theyre a tough
opponent and we get a chance to see them a bunch during the season, but we have
a chance to go for the sweep," Davis said. "It would be huge for us." Zach
Britton (2-2) limited the offensively challenged, injury-riddled Yankees to one
earned run over 5 2-3 innings. New York began the day ranked 26th in batting
average and 23rd in runs among the 30 major league teams. Phelps surrendered
nine hits and a career-high nine runs in 2 1-3 innings. The right-hander was 4-0
in his last nine starts against AL East foes since Aug. 27, 2012. "I dont care
what our offence is doing. If you give up nine runs, its a big hole to dig
yourself out of," Phelps said. "The last four or five games Ive gotten good run
support. Its frustrating to go out there and not give them a chance to do it."
The Yankees have lost 12 of 17 to fall within four games of .500 (42-38) for the
first time since April 26 (13-9). In addition, New York has dropped four
straight in Baltimore during a single season for the first time since 1982. "You
just have to keep fighting," said Robinson Cano, who had two hits. "Hopefully,
sooner or later, well turn it around and start winning games so we can get
closer. We got beat tonight. Its not like we making errors. There was not much
you could do." After Britton worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the
first, Baltimore batted around in the bottom half. Singles by Manny Machado,
Nick Markakis and Adam Jones produced a run before Davis got under a 2-1 pitch
and sent it soaring into the bullpen area beyond the centre-field wall for a 4-0
lead. The Orioles added five runs in the third. Two walks and a single loaded
the bases for Chris Dickerson, who singled in two runs. Flaherty followed with a
three-run shot to chase Phelps, who was replaced by Ivan Nova. New York chased
Britton in the sixth. After Zoilo Almonte hit a sacrifice fly, another run
scored when Davis booted Lyle Overbays two-out grounder to first. With the bases
loaded, Jair Jurrjens came in and retired Austin Romine on a fly ball. Davis
homered off Nova in the bottom half after a single by Markakis. Successive
doubles by Chris Stewart and Brett Garner off Pedro Strop made it 11-3 in the
ninth. NOTES: Brian Roberts (hip, knee) is scheduled to return from the DL and
start at 2B for Baltimore on Sunday. The 35-year-old last played on April 4. ...
Hiroki Kuroda takes the mound for New York on Sunday. Chris Tillman seeks his
career-high 10th win for Baltimore. ... Nova is going to be part of the Yankees
six-man rotation heading into the All-Star break, and he could start in the
upcoming series against Minnesota, manager Joe Girardi said. ... The Orioles
recalled Jurrjens before the game and designated 1B Travis Ishikawa for
assignment. ... The only starter in the Baltimore lineup without a hit was Nate
McLouth, who went 0 for 5.

Week 12 game -- with an emphasis on the word betting.Sometimes its clear from
the opening kickoff that a team is going to win and/or cover the spread. Other
times it looks as if one team is going to coast to victory, but the other
rallies, causing bettors to wonder how they could have possibly lost and leading
to them cry Bad beat! Of course, there are also the back-and-forth, 50-50 games
that are virtual coin flips.This new column, which will also include my
takeaways from each game, will separate the different kinds of point-spread

game with a 27-7 lead with 13:45 to play and Chicagos offense not showing many
signs of life. ' ' '
