Tommy Davis batted in three runs and Brooks Robinson added a homer as the Orioles ended their four-game losing streak by defeating the Rangers, 6-2. After taking a 2-0 lead, the Orioles loaded the bases in the fourth inning and when Davis followed with a long single, all three runners scored. Robinson hit his homer in the fifth. Toby Harrah rapped two doubles for the Rangers, scoring one run and driving in another. [The Sporting News]
