Orioles 6, White Sox 4: Chris Davis
launched a three-run, pinch-hit homer with one out in the ninth inning
as Baltimore extended visiting Chicago's losing streak to five games.—

Steve Pearce singled to start the ninth and Adam Jones was hit by
a pitch from Ronald Belisario (3-4) before Davis came up one out
later and smashed a full-count offering deep into the stands in
right field. Brad Brach (1-0) pitched two hitless innings as the
Orioles won their third straight outing.
Jose Abreu homered and had three RBIs as the White Sox suffered
their eighth consecutive road loss. Chicago ace Chris Sale was
touched up for a career-worst 11 hits but allowed only two runs in
six innings, while Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen yielded three runs
and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Adam Jones hit a two-run homer in the first inning to give the
Orioles the early lead against Sale. The White Sox bounced back on
Abreu's run-scoring grounder in the third and tied the game in the
sixth when Abreu slugged his 22nd homer, a shot over the
center-field fence.
Conor Gillaspie gave Chicago a 3-2 lead later in the sixth when
Baltimore left fielder Nelson Cruz was unable to hang on to the ball
after a diving attempt for a double and Abreu added a run-scoring
double in the seventh. Caleb Joseph homered in the eighth to bring
the Orioles within a run.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Joseph and DH Delmon Young each had three hits as the
Orioles had 15 overall. ... Chicago CF Adam Eaton went 1-for-5 to
extend his hitting streak to 10 games and has reached base in 18
consecutive contests. ... Davis was held out of the lineup due to
the presence of Sale on the mound and a deep slump in which he was
batting just .187 in June prior to his game-winning blast.
