Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles
12:35 PM ET, May 26, 2011
Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, Maryland
It's been almost two years since the Baltimore Orioles won five games in a row.
The Orioles look to match that feat Thursday and sweep a three-game set from the visiting Kansas City Royals, who hope to avoid a fifth straight defeat.
Adam Jones had two hits and two RBIs to highlight an eight-run fourth inning in Baltimore's 9-2 win over Kansas City on Wednesday. The eight runs were the most in an inning by the Orioles (23-24) since they also scored eight in the sixth against Washington on June 26, 2009.
The Orioles' four straight wins match their season-best 4-0 start. Baltimore has not won five in a row since June 17-21, 2009, or swept the Royals (22-26) since May 28-30, 2007.
"We are playing better of late," said Jones, whose two-run homer in the ninth gave the Orioles a 5-3 win Tuesday. "We are not trying to get ahead of ourselves and think about three days in advance."
Jones is batting .375 with that homer and 14 RBIs in May. He's hit .433 with seven RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak versus Kansas City.
