PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Zach Davies pitched into the fourth inning today against the Rays and left with a 5-1 lead.

The only run off Davies in 3 1/3 innings came on Evan Longoria's leadoff homer in the fourth. Desmond Jennings doubled with one out and David DeJesus walked, bringing manager Buck Showalter to the mound and sidearmer Mychal Givens into the game.

Givens, the former shortstop, struck out Logan Forsythe and Curt Casali to end the inning and complete Davies' line.

Davies allowed five hits, walked two and struck out four. He threw 64 pitches, 35 for strikes.

Rule 5 pick Logan Verrett is working the bottom of the fifth.

Alejandro De Aza had himself quite a day in a rare start in center field. He delivered an RBI triple in the third inning, threw out Casali trying to stretch a single into a double and stroked an RBI single in the fifth to give the Orioles a 6-1 lead.

Julio Borbon pinch-ran for De Aza, who was batting .189 before today.
