Chad Smith pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth and was given the win — the first of his career — because Jeurys Familia was deemed to have had a brief, ineffective outing. Familia was in the game when the A's went ahead in the eighth, but he'd given up the lead in the seventh.“He flew all night. He didn't get any sleep,” Kotsay said.
Oakland starter Ken Waldichuk finally kept the ball in the park, pitching into the seventh. Waldichuk had allowed seven home runs in his first two outings, and the A’s as a team had yielded at least three homers in five straight games before Wednesday. This time, Oakland had a three-run lead before its starter even took the mound. Rooker hit an 0-2 pitch over the wall in center field off Baltimore starter Dean Kremer.Baltimore had men on first and second with nobody out in the fifth, but Adley Rutschman went after the first pitch and bounced into a double play. Then Ryan Mountcastle — who had nine RBIs the previous night — hit a flyball to end the inning.
Carlos Pérez's solo shot in the fifth made it 4-2, but the Orioles tied it in the seventh. Waldichuk exited with a man on first and one out, and Familia allowed RBI singles by pinch-hitter Cedric Mullins and Rutschman.Athletics: Oakland put RHP Domingo Acevedo on the 10-day injured list and recalled Smith.
