Apparently, all it took for the Baltimore Orioles to get back in the win column and rediscover their offense was a return home.
Delmon Young, J.J. Hardy and Chris Davis homered in succession during a six-run fifth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles cruised past the Tampa Bay Rays 9-1 Monday night to end a three-game losing streak.
Chris Davis hasn't helped compensate for the offensive or defensive loss at third base, as he's slumping on both sides of the ball. "He's been very inconsistent. That's the best way to put it," said Coleman. "They just need to hope that he trends upward soon and maybe that he makes some place at third as well."
"Davis has had a very up and down career," said Szymborski. "He's hitting .200 or less of late, and it's not really sustainable." Though many in Baltimore are a bit panicked after Machado's injury, Szymborski points out that every team has injuries, and many also have far worse scenarios as a road to the playoffs.
