Ryan Mountcastle’s career night dooms Oakland in 12-8 loss

The struggling Oakland A’s, losers of five straight games and their Ace Kyle Muller looked to turn things around in Baltimore against the Orioles and right-handed pitcher Grayson Rodriguez . The A’s were 2-8 coming in and struggling in almost every facet of the game. They fell to Baltimore 5-1 in the first game of the series on Monday night and were desperately in need of positive outing Tuesday at Camden Yards.

In the top of the first inning, Brent Rooker got the A’s on the board early with line drive to left field that scored Tony Kemp.
