MLB roundup

Chris Davis definitely kept the souvenir ball from this most elusive hit.

Davis ended his record slump at 0-for-54 and drew applause from rival fans at Fenway Park, lining a single and two doubles while driving in four runs as the Baltimore Orioles beat the host Boston Red Sox 9-5 Saturday to stop a four-game losing streak.

"That's a long time without getting a hit," Davis said. "I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but obviously something special."

Davis, 33, broke into a smile when his bases-loaded, two-run single in the first inning broke the drought.

"It meant a lot to me," he said.

He tried to make the most of his terrible stretch. "I said it a couple of weeks ago: 'You have to embrace it at some point,' " he said.

Davis walked to the plate against Rick Porcello in the first inning to what mostly appeared to be mock cheers when he was announced. But many of those quickly changed when Davis hit a liner over the head of second baseman Dustin Pedroia, ending the longest hitless streak ever by a position player. It was his first hit since last Sept. 14.

Davis, a two-time major league home run champion, had been 0-for-33 this season.
