Orioles 9, Royals 2
BALTIMORE — Adam Jones had two hits and two RBIs in an eight-run fourth, and the Orioles won their fourth straight. Baltimore sent 13 to the plate in the fourth against Luke Hochevar, who yielded six hits, walked three and threw a wild pitch. It was the Orioles' biggest inning since an eight-run sixth against the Nationals on June 26, 2009. After beating Washington twice then taking the first two in this series, Baltimore is riding its longest winning streak since opening 4-0.
