SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) Ubaldo Jimenez allowed six runs while retiring just one batter in the first inning as the Baltimore Orioles lost to the Atlanta Braves 11-4 on Wednesday.

Jimenez, who won 12 games to lead the team in 2015, gave up three hits and walked three before being lifted.

The Braves scored another run off Odrisamer Despaigne in the first and another in the second to take an 8-0 lead.

Atlanta rookie Mallex Smith had four extra-base hits - two triples in the first, a home run in the fifth and a double in the seventh.

The Orioles scored four runs in the second off Aaron Blair, who is competing for one of Atlanta's final starting spots. Chris Davis hit a long home run to center and Jonathan Schoop had a two-run shot to left.
