It was a big day for a myriad of Oakland players today.
In spite of a rough outing from staff ace Paul Blackburn, who allowed 6 runs in 4 innings, the Athletics fought back from an early deficit to steal the game and series from one of the best teams in the league, the Baltimore Orioles.
Scoring runs has been a tough ask for the A’s recently as they haven’t been able to score more than three since their 6-3 win against the Cardinals twelve days ago. Oakland’s lineup broke that streak early in the game with 4 quick runs in their first 3 innings.
