DETROIT -- Chris Davis sent a pitch to opposite field over the left-field fence and pulled another one deep into the right-field seats. His day gave him a major-league leading 26 homers and helped the Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers 13-3 Wednesday. Davis, who had a two-run homer in Baltimores six-run fourth inning, hit his second two-run shot in the ninth off embattled reliever Jose Valverde. "It split right into my barrel," Davis said. Baltimore improved to a season-high 11 games over .500 by winning its seventh series, including two against the AL Central-leading Tigers, in a month to prevent AL-leading Boston from building a big lead in the East. "Were doing a lot of things right," Davis said. Chris Tillman (8-2) gave up three runs and seven hits over five-plus innings. He became the third pitcher in franchise history to win his first six decisions on the road, joining Jeff Ballard (1989) and Hoyt Wilhelm (1959). Tillman gave up two singles and a walk in the first, but didnt give up a run because Austin Jackson was caught stealing second and Victor Martinez struck out to end the inning with Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder on base. "Tilly wasnt carrying his usual stuff," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "It was a credit to him to get through five-plus." Rick Porcello (4-4) allowed six runs on nine hits, giving up a pair of homers for the third time this year. Tigers manager Jim Leyland lamented that Porcello seemed to get rattled by Ryan Flahertys infield hit, which potentially couldve been an inning-ending groundout in the fourth, that led to Taylor Teagardens first homer of the season two pitches later. "Rick lost his composure a little bit after Flaherty hit that little nubber to third," Leyland said. "Groundball pitchers are going to give up hits like that, and they have to bounce back from them. He should have been able to do that, especially against that part of the order. Giving up a two-run homer to that guy, you can understand, but you have to get out of that inning." Valverde has given up six homers and 11 runs in 7 1-3 innings over his last seven outings since May 31 at Baltimore, where he blew a save and lost a game by giving up four runs in the ninth. Leyland deflected a question about whether the team has to make a move with Valverde, saying that decision would be up to general manager Dave Dombrowski. "I dont think thats something we want to talk about today," he said. Detroits only source of encouragement in the series finale was Cabrera, who had two hits to become the first player to have at least 100 hits and 71 RBIs through his teams first 70 games since Bostons Ted Williams in 1948, according to STATS. Porcello started off pitching three scoreless innings, giving up just two hits, before the Orioles scored six runs on seven hits in the fourth inning. Davis hit the first pitch he saw with Nick Markakis on to make it 2-0. Teagarden followed with a three-run homer. Nate McLouths RBI double made it 6-0. Omar Infante hit an RBI double in the fourth and pinch-hitter Matt Tuiasosopo -- the first to face Baltimore reliever T.J. McFarland -- hit a two-run double in the sixth to pull Detroit within three runs. Baltimore restored its cushion the next inning, scoring three runs to take a 9-3 lead. Valverde entered the game in a low-pressure, non-save situation down by six runs and failed miserably. He gave up three hits -- including Adam Jones two-run double -- in five pitches and was booed by the fans who were still sticking around to see the end. Valverde kept his 10th pitch down, but Davis sent it deep into the right-field seats to lift the Orioles to their highest number of runs since a 14-8 win Aug. 10, 2010, against Cleveland.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Possible new slogan for the U.S. Olympic track team: Higher, Faster, Younger.There could be a youth movement underway on the track over the next two weeks.A group of up-and-comers are angling for spots on Americas Olympic track team, hoping to duplicate the success a new crop of swimmers is making at that sports trials in Omaha, Nebraska.The year of the youth, said 17-year-old sprinter Candace Hill, a dark horse possibility to make the U.S. squad for the Rio Olympics in the 100 meters, 200 meters or perhaps even both. I feel like, since older people are leaving the sport, theyre passing the torch to the younger folks. We have to step up our game and show were ready to take over in a way.Hill is already the worlds fastest girl ever, courtesy of a number of youth records she set last season, including in the 200, which she ran in 22.43 seconds.A year ago, she ran 10.98 seconds in the 100 -- the first time a female under 18 had gone below 11 seconds. That kind of time wouldve earned her a share of the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and placed her seventh at the 2012 London Games.Someday, she could be going for the label of fastest female in history. That honor belongs to the late Florence Griffith-Joyner, who holds both the 100 (10.49) and 200 (21.34) world marks.Hill could be pushed by another teenager, Kaylin Whitney.My goal is to be one of the greatest female sprinters ever, said Hill, who turned pro last December and signed a 10-year deal with ASICS.Hills role model is Allyson Felix, the six-time Olympic medalist who Hill used to watch as a kid.I feel very old, lamented the 30-year-old Felix, who will try to make the team in the 200 and 400. But its a neat thing, because I remember when I was in that exact same place.Upon arriving at the airport, Hill became star struck after running into sprinter Tori Bowie, along with 400-meter runners Natasha Hastings and Francena McCorory.Im like, `Thats actually them, Hill said. You see them on TV and in videos, but then theyre right there.Last week, Hill won the 100 at the USA junior championships. Shes not the least bit tired, either.The benefits of being so youthful.The drawbacks are simple: Experience.dddddddddddd Age does have some benefits.I just want to get out there and see what I can do, Hill said. Its time for the youth to rise and take over the sport of track and field.Here are some rising track and field athletes to keep an eye on at the trials:FOLLOWING JIM RYUNS FOOTSTEPS: Donavan Brazier of Texas A&M recently broke a record of Jim Ryuns that stood for five decades. The 19-year-old Brazier won the 800-meter title at NCAA championships in a time of 1 minute, 43.55 seconds, a new collegiate and American junior record. Brazier recently announced he was going pro after a sensational freshman year with the Aggies.FOLLOWING JESSE OWENS LEAD: Hows this for some elite company: Arkansas senior Jarrion Lawson became the first man since Jesse Owens in 1936 to win the 100, 200 and long jump at the same NCAA championships. He was nominated for an ESPY award in the best male athlete category and is up against the likes of Alabama tailback Derrick Henry and Oklahoma hoops star Buddy Hield.RECORD BREAKER: Teenager Sydney McLaughlin heads into trials fresh off winning the 400-meter hurdles title at the USA Track and Field junior championships last weekend. The week before, the 16-year-old from Dunellen, New Jersey, broke national high school records at New Balance Nationals. McLaughlin eclipsed the prep record set by Leslie Maxie in 1984 with her time of 54.46 seconds.TRIPLE SCOOP: 20-year-old triple jumper Keturah Orji recently captured her second straight NCAA title for the University of Georgia. Orji, of Mount Olive, New Jersey, broke the collegiate mark this season. As it stands right now, shes one of only two triple jumpers at trials to have the Olympic qualifying standard.BRIGHT FUTURE: Shamier Little definitely stands out in the 400-meter hurdles by wearing a neon bow in her hair. Its a way for her mom to easily find her. Heres another way to spot her: Shes usually the one that crosses the finish line first. The 21-year-old Texas A&M junior recently won her third NCAA title.
