(AP) -- Jason Hammel pitched six shutout innings, Chris Davis homered and drove in three runs, and the Baltimore Orioles cruised past the Kansas City Royals 8-2 on Friday night.
Adam Jones and J.J. Hardy had two RBIs apiece for the Orioles, now 28-1 when hitting a home run.
Davis hit Baltimore's league-leading 70th homer of the season in the seventh inning with a man on to make it 8-0.
The crowd of 28,954 included nearly 11,000 walk-up fans, a Camden Yards record.
The attendance was a testament to the excitement the first-place Orioles have generated after a run of 14 straight losing seasons.
