NEW YORK – I’m talking about the good kind of tear here.

Chris Davis hit another home run tonight, his fourth in the last seven games, to tie the score at 1-1. He connected off Yankees starter Phil Hughes with one out in the second.

Davis is 8-for-18 with a double, four homers and nine RBIs in his last seven games. He’s batting .319 with five homers and 13 RBIs on the season.

Chris Davis hit another home run tonight, his fourth in the last seven games, to tie the score at 1-1. He connected off Yankees starter Phil Hughes with one out in the second.

Davis is 8-for-18 with a double, four homers and nine RBIs in his last seven games. He’s batting .319 with five homers and 13 RBIs on the season.

The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the first on Curtis Granderson’s home run off left-hander Brian Matusz. The ball appeared to hit the seats above the second deck.

Matusz gave up a single to Alex Rodriguez before striking out Robinson Cano and retiring Mark Teixeira on a fly ball to right. He struck out Andruw Jones and Russell Martin to start the second, and retired Eduardo Nunez on a pop up.

Matusz has thrown 35 pitches, 25 for strikes, in two innings.

Update: J.J. Hardy crushed a two-run homer in the third inning to give the Orioles a 3-1 lead. Hardy began the night hitting .184, and he grounded out in his first at-bat.
