BALTIMORE — Coming down to the final few days of an exhausting 18-day stretch of games, this is around the time a team might start to fall into a slump.
The opposite is happening for the A’s.
For a second consecutive day, the A’s matched season-high five home runs in Thursday’s 8-5 victory to capture a series win over the Baltimore Orioles. Oakland has now homered 17 times in its past five games and became the first club to hit at least five home runs in back-to-back games since the Orioles did it in 2016.
Davis’ two bombs extended his MLB lead to nine home runs on the year.
