New Orioles outfielder Michael Bourn made another contribution Sunday, homering for the second time in two starts in a win over Detroit.

Before last Friday's deadline, the O's traded pitching prospect Zach Davies to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfielder Gerardo Parra and sent reliever Tommy Hunter to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Junior Lake.

Over the Orioles' four previous games, their bats couldn't be blamed for their lack of wins.

On Friday, the Orioles' No. 3 through No. 5 hitters finished the night 6-for-10 with five RBIs.

When Dan Duquette was introduced as the BAltimore Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations last offseason, he made it clear that he wanted to focus on scouting and signing local talent.
