BALTIMORE -- Ryan Zimmerman hit three home runs in the first five innings, leaving the Baltimore Orioles with a four-run deficit to overcome against one of the best pitchers in the National League. On a toasty night at Camden Yards, the Orioles turned to their hottest player to get them out of the hole. Chris Davis went 4 for 4 with two homers, and the Orioles battled back to beat Jordan Zimmermann and the Washington Nationals 9-6 Wednesday night. In a wild game before 39,129 fans, each team slugged four home runs and Baltimore got six of its 13 hits in a six-run seventh inning. "To battle back and really pull it out in a game like that is huge," Davis said. "I gave a little fist bump to let you know how much this win meant to us." Zimmerman hit solo homers in the first and fourth innings before adding a two-run drive in the fifth, all off Chris Tillman. With a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game, Zimmerman came to the plate in the seventh against Steve Johnson and looked at a third strike. It was the first three-homer game of Zimmermans career. He came in with three home runs in 38 games this season. "Its tough to have a night like that and not be able to kind of celebrate or have fun with it because we lost," Zimmerman said. "Ive been kind of swinging the bat better. Tonight, everything kind of came together in one game." Davis hit a solo drive in the fourth and capped the pivotal seventh with his major-league leading 19th homer, a two-run shot off Tyler Clippard. "Hes been doing that the whole year, so every home run he hits from now on is just another one," teammate Manny Machado said. "Its impressive pop. Hes a tremendous hitter and hes swinging the bat well." Davis is batting .359 after going 18 for 30 over his last seven games. "Its fun," he said. "Youre always working on things, whether youre locked in or struggling. Just the consistent approach every day has helped me out." Steve Johnson (1-1) pitched 2 1-3 innings and Jim Johnson worked a perfect ninth for his 16th save. Baltimore trailed 6-3 in the seventh before rallying against Jordan Zimmermann (8-3), who was seeking to become the majors first nine-game winner. After Ryan Flaherty singled and Steve Pearce homered, Nate McLouth got an infield hit and scored on a double by Machado. Clippard entered and gave up an RBI single to Nick Markakis before Davis crushed a 3-2 pitch to make it 9-6. "Its on me. I am too good a pitcher to let that happen," Clippard said. "You have to execute the pitches you need to throw in those situations." Zimmermann gave up seven runs and 10 hits in six-plus innings. He came in with a 1.71 ERA and a streak of 15 straight starts allowing three runs or less. He, like Clippard, shouldered the blame for the defeat. "Those guys give me six runs like that and I ought to do a better job. We should win this ball game," Zimmermann said. "Its solely on me this time." Tillman gave up six runs and eight hits -- including a career-high four homers -- in 4 2-3 innings. He left with Baltimore down 6-2. In his defence, it was a tough night to be a pitcher. "Strange things happen in this ballpark," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson, who held the same job with the Orioles in 1996-97. "Its a great ballpark to hit in, but its a tough park to pitch in." The major league record for home runs in a game is four. The last to do it was Josh Hamilton, for Texas on May 8, 2012, at Camden Yards, of all places. After Zimmerman homered in the first inning, Baltimore tied it in the second. Davis singled and scored on an RBI double by Flaherty, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk earlier in the day. In the Washington fourth, Roger Bernadina sent a shot onto Eutaw Street beyond the right-field wall and Zimmerman followed with a drive to centre that travelled an estimated 430 feet. After going homerless in the first 36 games of the season, Bernadina has connected in two straight. Davis got the Orioles to 3-2 in the bottom half, but Zimmermans third homer of the game highlighted a three-run fifth for Washington. Markakis homered with no one aboard in the sixth for Baltimore. Coming into the game, Zimmermann had allowed only three homers in 10 starts, no more than one per game. NOTES: Baltimore optioned INF Yamaico Navarro to Norfolk to make room for Flaherty. ...

Ultra Boost 4.0 Weiß Damen Sri Lanka coach Graham Ford, who has previously praised Kusal Pereras technique, described Kusal Mendis 176 as one of the best hes seen, and said the batsmans temperament had impressed him as well. At the end of day four, Mendis innings still appears a monumental anomaly in a match in which the next highest score is 47.What can you say? Its one of the best innings Ive ever seen, Ford said. It was. He seemed to have a plan - and option - against all the bowlers. He showed real composure. The odd one did explode and turn on him but he didnt bother about the previous delivery. He just focused on the next ball and got on with the job. He is an amazing talent. He works really hard and really loves the game.Mendis innings was anomalous because of its tempo, as well as its size. Of top-order batsmen to breach 30 in this Test, no one else has had a strike rate of over 60. With his innings only spanning 254 balls, Mendis struck at 69. It is also anomalous in the context of his brief career so far - his previous highest in Tests had been 53 in Leeds.Hes batted at no. 3 in all formats across the last couple of months, and shown wonderful maturity, Ford said. Hes shown signs each time of the possibility of making big scores. There have been really exciting cameos each time,, but fortunately now hes got one of those big innings under his belt, it will hopefully lead to a lot more.ddddddddddddHe also just seems an extremely relaxed young man. Nothing really fazes him. He enjoys playing and he cant wait to get out there and bat. Doesnt seem to show any signs of nerves. He plays positively and plays his shots. He went to his hundred with a six - no nervous nineties. He definitely puts a lot of thought into it. He works hard. But theres no signs of him being too bothered, or worried about failure, which is quite a nice way of going about his business.Since debuting against West Indies in October last year, Mendis has largely filled the no. 3 position vacated by Kumar Sangakkara. Had you still had the Sangas and the Mahela Jayawardenes, Kusal would have ideally been blooded at no. 6 or 7, Ford said. But without anybody really putting their hand up to grab that no. 3 spot, we thought he was the guy to get in and had the technique to handle it. Each time he went out there he looked like he had real capabilities to become a world-class and match-winning no. 3. So we decided to run with him and hes paid us back. ' ' '
