Entering Tuesday's contest, the O's had blasted 17 homers over their previous five games and a Major League-leading 194 on the year. But they used nine singles and three doubles to rack up the runs until Chris Davis' solo shot, his 30th homer of the year, in the eighth. Leadoff man Adam Jones led the attack, matching a career high with four singles.
O's slugger Mark Trumbo, whose last seven hits were home runs entering the night, broke the streak with a first-inning RBI single. He added another single in the third.
