Asdrubal Cabrera cut the lead in half with an RBI sacrifice fly off Orioles reliever Mychal Givens.

Kevin Gausman got a no-decision in the start for Baltimore, giving up four runs on eight hits in six innings of work, striking out six and walking one.

Chris Davis hit his 43^rd homer of the season, a two-run shot in the third.
