Davis hits Nos. 46 and 47; Parra, Wieters drive in two in win over New York

Was is just coincidence or were some of the Orioles trying to remind the organization of what they will be missing if they leave?

In a 9-4 win over the Yankees, pending free agents Chris Davis, Matt Wieters and Gerardo Parra combined to drive in eight of the runs. Davis homered twice and drove in four.

The win lifts the Orioles' final record to the .500 mark at 81-81, and they post a fourth consecutive non-losing season. They also won the season series 10-9 over the Yankees. They have won the season series two straight years for the first time since 1980-82.

Since the start of the 2012 season, the Orioles lead the American League in wins and rank fifth in the majors with 355. The Orioles ended the season on a five-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents 34-14 in that time. They went 47-31 in home games.

Wieters started the scoring with a two-run single in the first to score Parra and Davis. When the Orioles took a 5-1 lead in the fourth, J.J. Hardy had an RBI single and Parra added a two-run single. Davis smoked a two-run homer to left-center in the fifth to make it a 7-1 game.

That blast tied Davis for fourth on the O's single-season homer list. He is the only Oriole ever with two 40-homer seasons. Davis hit another two-run shot in the eighth to complete the scoring. That moved him into sole possession of fourth place. He ends the year with 47 homers and 117 RBIs.

Most homers by an Oriole:

53 - Chris Davis, 2013
50 - Brady Anderson, 1996
49 - Frank Robinson, 1966
47 - Chris Davis, 2015
46 - Jim Gentile, 1961

Wieters ends the year and perhaps his O's career with an eight-game hitting streak. During that stretch, he is 12-for-26 (.462) with two homers and six RBIs. In this series, Parra went 8-for-13 (.615) with two doubles and five RBIs.

Chris Tillman picked up the win, going 5 1/3 innings while allowing seven hits and two runs. Tillman ends the year at 11-11 with an ERA of 4.99. The Orioles did not have a single complete game in 2015.

Today's attendance was 33,224 and the total for the season was 2,320,588.

Now, an important offseason for the Orioles front office begins. A team that may have a quite different look will gather for spring training next February in Sarasota, Fla.
