Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann hit 3-run homers and the Oakland Athletics had five home runs overall in a 19-8 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.
OAKLAND, Calif. —
Rooker, who had three hits and drove in four runs, put the A’s up 3-0 in the first. Schuemann’s blast in the second came during a seven-run inning in which eight straight Oakland batters reached base. “They didn’t give their bats away,” Kotsay said. “Even though we had a nice lead, they continued to take good quality at-bats. They didn’t try to hit home runs. They continued to get the pitches in the zone that they can handle, and that’s great on their part today.”
The A’s have won four of five, while the Orioles - who have the third best winning percentage in baseball - are in danger of dropping both series against Oakland this season with a loss on Sunday. Oakland has scored at least five runs in four of its last five games.
