BALTIMORE -- Jonathan Schoop, Chris Davis and Trey Mancini hit consecutive home runs in the first inning and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers 12-3 to earn a split of their four-game series Sunday.

Schoop tied a career high with his 25th home run, while Davis and Mancini each hit their 18th of the season. Joey Rickard and Manny Machado homered and had four hits apiece for the Orioles.

The Orioles have won seven of nine to get back into the wild card race. Baltimore opens a key 10-game West Coast road trip beginning Monday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Entering the day, Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (5-7) had more career losses against Detroit than any other team with 12. However, he was staked with an early and took advantage, allowing one run and nine hits with six strikeouts and three walks over 5 2/3 innings.

Baltimore is 30-6 when it allows three or fewer runs.

Detroit's Anibal Sanchez (3-2) suffered his second loss in three starts. The right hander allowed eight runs on 10 hits, including five homers, in just three-plus innings.

Nicholas Castellanos got his 16th home run for Detroit. John Hicks, Ian Kinsler and Andrew Romine each had three hits as the Tigers dropped to 4-3 on their current nine-game road trip.

Schoop set the tone in the first with a two-run shot to left-center field off Sanchez. Davis and Mancini followed with solo home runs over the center field fence to boost the lead to 4-0.

Machado had a two-out, RBI double the following inning and the Orioles weren't threatened the rest of the way.

Rickard led off the fourth with a home run, and after an Adam Jones single, Machado followed with another shot to center for an 8-0 lead that ended the outing for Sanchez.

Castellanos broke up the shutout with a solo homer in the fifth.

Machado got his fifth RBI of the game with a two-run single in the eighth.
