Orioles count on strong Jimenez start vs. A's

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles hope to find some more power and a solid start from Ubaldo Jimenez on Tuesday in the second game of a three-game series with Oakland Tuesday at Camden Yards.

The Orioles (61-64) banged out four homers Monday in a 7-3 victory over the A's (54-71).

Baltimore sits 3 1/2 games out of the American League's second wild-card spot with 37 games left.

"It means something to me to be playing when everyone else is at home," said Adam Jones, who hit two homers and went 4-for-4 on Monday.
