Orioles Hit 4 Solo Homers Off Rays Ace Archer, Now 4-0
Chris Davis, Manny Machado and the Baltimore Orioles showed Chris Archer exactly how much power they're packing this season.
The Orioles hit four solo homers off Tampa Bay's star pitcher and rolled to a 6-1 victory Friday night, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 2011.
Davis homered in the second inning and three of his teammates went deep in the fifth: Jonathan Schoop, Nolan Reimold and Machado.
''He's one of the best pitchers in the game, and we knew it was going to be a tough one,'' Machado said. ''From the get-go, he was commanding his pitches. We just had to sit him out. He had one bad inning, and we took advantage.''
