BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles first baseman Chris Davis said he reached a "breaking point" when he charged at manager Brandon Hyde in the dugout on Wednesday night, and expressed his regret during a lengthy conversation with Hyde on Friday.The flare-up occurred in the fifth inning of Baltimore's 14-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Hyde walked over to Davis and said something that the first baseman clearly didn't like, and Davis attempted to charge at the manager before being restrained by teammate Mark Trumbo and hitting coach Don Long."It happened. Brandon and I have talked," Davis said Friday, hours before the last-place Orioles hosted the Houston Astros. "I knew right after it happened we were going to be fine, and we are."Davis is batting .182 with nine homers and 31 RBIs, hardly the production the Orioles expected from a slugger who's in the middle of a $161 million, seven-year contract. Last season he batted .168, the worst average in major league history by a player with enough plate appearances... [More]

BALTIMORE (AP) — There might come a time when Brandon Hyde wakes up in the morning, grabs a newspaper and finds the Baltimore Orioles in the standings.For now, the rookie manager simply can't bear to look.The rebuilding Orioles limped into the All-Star break with a major league-worst 27-62 record. During a particular brutal stretch in late June, Baltimore showed its youth and inexperience while losing 13 of 14 games — including blowouts of 12-3, 13-2, 16-2 and 13-3.Asked at that point to present his goal for this season, Hyde replied, "I'll be honest with you — I have no idea what our record is. I don't even want to look at it. Right now, it's about developing these guys and how we play. Eventually, I'm going to be looking at the standings and it's going to be about wins and losses."Until then, Hyde will have to grit his teeth when his outfielders throw to the wrong base, players get picked off and his pitching staff gets rocked.

1B Chris Davis made Orioles' history in Friday's loss to Tampa Bay. His fourth-inning solo homer was the 224th he's hit with Baltimore, moving him past Rafael Palmeiro for sixth place on the team's all-time home run list.

1B Chris Davis' solo home run in the seventh inning was his 24th of the season and his 223rd as a member of the Orioles. That ties Davis with Rafael Palmeiro for the sixth most home runs in Baltimore franchise history.

1B Chris Davis needs one more homer to tie Rafael Palmeiro for sixth on the team's home run list. Palmeiro hit 223 while playing for the Orioles and his son now is in Baltimore's farm system.

1B Chris Davis has struggled for much of this season but still managed to come through at key times. He did that again Monday, lining an RBI double in the seventh that snapped a tie and gave the Orioles a 7-6 victory over Mariners. Davis went 2-for-3 in the victory.

1B Chris Davis hit his 21st homer and then collected his 1,000 career hit when he singled off fellow 1B Mitch Moreland in the ninth inning. His 217 homers since 2012 are the second-most in the majors over that span. He is 14-for-40 (.350) with three homers and eight RBIs over his last 10 games. And is batting .368 on the season with runners in scoring position.

1B Chris Davis was back in the lineup after being sidelined the previous two games because of a virus. "Chris, I actually communicated with him last night about possibly pinch-hitting," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. Davis went 2-for-4 with his 19th home run and is batting .224.

1B Chris Davis (illness) did not start for a second straight day. There's a chance that he could play in Sunday's series finale.

1B Chris Davis missed the game due to an unspecified illness, according to manager Buck Showalter. There should be an update on his situation Saturday.

1B Chris Davis is 6-for-19 with five RBIs in first four games since dropping to the No. 7 spot in the batting order, despite an 0-for-3 night Tuesday. "It's not something I necessarily look forward to, hitting in the bottom of the order, but I understand when other guys are swing the bat well," Davis told the Baltimore Sun. "I'm still holding out hope that one day my name will be up there in the leadoff spot." The move came after Davis' batting average dropped to .212.

1B Chris Davis, who has been struggling at the plate, returned to the starting lineup Friday against Oakland after getting a day off Thursday. He went 0-for-3 with a walk in a 5-4 loss to the A's. Orioles manager Buck Showalter had Davis hit seventh in the lineup for the first time since 2014. He hadn't hit lower than fifth this season until Friday. DH Mark Trumbo moved down in the order and hit sixth for the second time this season. "I remember a few years ago when he put me in the 2 hole and had (3B) Manny (Machado) leading off and it was a pretty dangerous combination," Davis said. "I think he's just trying to find a way to get everybody clicking and get us firing on all cylinders. ... I just want to win baseball games and be productive. Whether that's batting in the 1 hole, the 9 hole, the 15 hole, whatever it is. It doesn't really matter."
