Baltimore rookie Tyler Wilson is accustomed to bouncing between the big leagues and the minors by now.
He is determined to make a case to stay put - and Monday night's outing certainly didn't hurt.
Chris Davis hit a three-run shot in the first inning for his 27th homer to back Wilson's impressive spot start, and the Orioles beat the Oakland Athletics 9-2 to stay on their roll early in the second half.
''It's just staying focused on the task at hand. There's a lot of different variables in this game that are completely out of your control,'' said the 25-year-old Wilson, who found out he was pitching at about 2 p.
