BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles hit four solo home runs off Chris Archer and defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 Friday night for their first 4-0 start since 2011.
Chris Davis homered and scored three runs for the Orioles, who were coming off a three-game sweep of Minnesota. The best start in franchise history is 5-0 in 1970.
Davis hit his second homer of the season in the second inning, and three of his teammates went deep in the fifth: Jonathan Schoop, Nolan Reimold and Manny Machado.
