BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones homered twice and matched a career high with four hits, leading the Orioles to a 7-3, series-opening win over the Athletics on Monday night.
Jones, who has 24 homers on the season, put the O's on the board with a solo shot in the bottom of the second inning off Oakland righty Chris Smith. He struck again in the fifth, on a two-run homer off of reliever Ryan Dull that followed Jonathan Schoop's three-run blast. Schoop chased Smith from the game with his career-high and team-leading 27th homer, with Jones giving the O's back-to-back jacks for the 10th time this season.
