After the Orioles orchestrated a too-little, too-late ninth-inning rally Wednesday, first baseman Chris Davis – once the team’s most prodigious power hitter – said the club needs to find a new identity that doesn’t lean on the long ball.
It was far past bedtime for most fans back East, but the Orioles went into the ninth inning of Wednesday’s 10-7 loss to the Los Angeles Angels down by eight runs, but ended their comeback with the potential tying run in the on deck circle.
They scored five runs in the inning — matching their season high for one frame (a five-run seventh in their 5-2 win at Yankee Stadium on April 5) — without a home run, stringing together four singles, a triple and a walk.
