BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles have a knack for moving forward instead of looking back, a trait that just might be more important than their home-run power and solid pitching. "The strength of his team is the ability to forget," centre fielder Adam Jones said after Baltimore snapped a three-game losing streak with a 9-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. Delmon Young, J.J. Hardy and Chris Davis homered in succession during a six-run fifth inning as the AL East-leading Orioles bounced back from a lamentable weekend in which they totalled only four runs and 13 hits in three losses to the last-place Chicago Cubs. "Something happens, forget it, move on," Jones said. "Its three games. Hip hip hooray. Its not the end of the world." Baltimore hit five homers in all against the Rays, four off rookie Jake Odorizzi (9-11). Nick Markakis and Steve Pearce delivered back-to-back shots in the third to spark the Orioles to their ninth win in 13 games against Tampa Bay this season. "Its good because it seemed like yall went in panic mode when we got swept in Chicago," Young said. "We werent scoring many runs, but it happens and then were back in our division at home facing a guy weve seen before, a team we play, we know their tendencies and everything. And weve got better facilities here than Wrigley." Chris Tillman (11-5) yielded an unearned run and three hits in seven innings. He is 4-0 in eight starts since July 18. "All our pitchers have been good," Hardy said, "but every fifth day when he takes the mound we feel like weve got a great chance to win." Baltimore led 3-1 before pulling away in the fifth. Three straight singles produced a run before Young hit a three-run drive to left. Hardy chased Odorizzi with a shot to centre, and Davis greeted Kirby Yates with his 22nd home run. It was the first time since May 2012 that the Orioles homered in three successive at-bats. Odorizzi yielded eight runs and 11 hits, both career highs, as were the four home runs. "Jake has been hit a little bit this year, but he hasnt been hit like that in a long while," manager Joe Maddon said. Odorizzi said: "It was an overall lousy night. Im frustrated because I feel like I let the guys down. We need every win we can get now and I didnt keep us in the game." Not unlike the Orioles, the Rays sought to quickly put this one behind them. "We just take this one and throw it in the trash and come back tomorrow," Maddon said. The Orioles added a fielding gem in the sixth when Jones made a leaping catch at the wall to rob Evan Longoria of a homer. Jones then threw out Matt Joyce, who tagged up from first base. After the Rays scored in the third, Baltimore went up 3-1 in the bottom half. Markakis snapped an 0-for-21 skid with a two-run drive and Pearce followed with his 15th homer, the fourth in his last eight games. TRAINERS ROOM Rays: C Ryan Hanigan (left oblique strain) could return from the disabled list as soon as Tuesday, Maddon said. But OF David DeJesus (left hand fracture) likely wouldnt be activated until rosters expand on Sept. 1. Also, Ben Zobrist got his first start in CF since 2010 because Desmond Jennings was promised a night off and RF Kevin Kiermaier had a stiff neck. Orioles: 3B Manny Machado is scheduled to have season-ending knee surgery Wednesday and will rehab at the team complex in Sarasota, Florida. He hopes to cheer on the team at home games in October.

Culliver was driving a white Ford Mustang just before 10:30 a.m. Friday when he hit the cyclist Friday morning near downtown San Jose, city police spokesman Albert Morales said. The bicyclist wasnt seriously hurt, he said. A witness followed the Culliver, 25, who also drove into the car of the witness, Morales said, and that vehicle blocked the suspects car until police arrived and arrested Culliver. After searching the suspects car, the authorities found illegal brass knuckles and booked him into Santa Clara County Jail for felony hit and run, felony reckless driving with injury, felony possession of brass knuckles, misdemeanour hit and run and misdemeanour driving on a suspended license. Morales said he didnt know the name of Cullivers attorney. "The 49ers organization is aware of the recent matter involving Chris Culliver," San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. "We will remain in contact with Chris and the local authorities as we continue to gather the facts regarding this situation. As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will reserve further comment at this time." In 2013, Culliver caused controversy by expressing anti-gay sentimeents in the lead-up to the Super Bowl.dddddddddddd During Super Bowl media day at the Superdome in New Orleans that year, Culliver responded to questions from comedian Artie Lange by saying he wouldnt welcome a gay player in the locker room. He also said the 49ers didnt have any homosexual players and, if they did, those players should leave. He later apologized, facing a large group of Super Bowl media members for nearly an hour. Culliver underwent sensitivity training as well and began doing outreach work with The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis and suicide intervention to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth. "I truly appreciate the staff at the Trevor Project for allowing me to grow and educating me on the issues affecting the LGBTQ community," Culliver later said in a statement to The Associated Press. "I have learned so much and made some really great friends. I will continue my commitment to the organization and to their youths and stand firm with hope that one day that all individuals regardless of sex, race, or creed will be treated with dignity and respect from all." Culliver, a third-round draft pick in 2011 out of South Carolina, made 47 tackles with two interceptions and a forced fumble during the 2012 season while starting six games for the Niners. They lost in the Super Bowl that season to Baltimore. ' ' '
