Davis Hits 2 Hrs, Has 5 Rbis As Orioles Beat Braves 7-3

With the non-waiver trade deadline approaching, the Baltimore Orioles appear poised to be buyers instead of sellers.

Even if the team remains in its current state, the Orioles believe they're good enough to make a return trip to the playoffs.

Chris Davis homered twice and drove in five runs, and Baltimore cruised past the Atlanta Braves 7-3 on Tuesday night for its fourth straight victory.

Davis will become a free agent after this season, and when the Orioles were slumping not long ago there was speculation that the slugger might be traded before July 31.

With 24 homers and 65 RBIs, Davis almost certainly isn't going anywhere.
