The Oakland A’s visited Baltimore not a moment too soon. After seven games against the last two World Series champions, who also happen to be the two favorites for this year’s title, the A’s got a turn against a weaker opponent. The Orioles lost 115 games last year, and figure to compete for last in the majors again this season.
The series got off to a rough start, as the A’s lost a 12-4 rout in the opener to extend their losing streak to four games. However, they snapped out of their funk and blasted the O’s the next three days, earning three victories by a combined score of 31-10.
