Cole Irvin’s dominant outing and Baltimore’s offensive explosion propelled the Orioles to a resounding 7-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. Irvin, a former A’s pitcher, silenced Oakland’s bats, allowing only four singles over seven innings. He struck out five and walked none, extending his scoreless streak to 13 innings.

The Orioles’ offense came alive in the fourth inning, rattling off five hits against JP Sears.

In the fifth, Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle delivered back-to-back solo homers to extend Baltimore’s lead to 5-0. Gunnar Henderson added a two-run homer in the seventh to cap off the scoring.

Sears, who had won his previous two starts, struggled against the Orioles, surrendering seven runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. Oakland’s offense, which had hit at least one home run in each of its previous 12 games, was held in check by Irvin and the Baltimore bullpen.

Henderson’s Heroics Lead Orioles to Victory Despite Trout’s Historic Homer

Gunnar Henderson’s impressive performance continued as the Baltimore Orioles secured a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Henderson’s three hits and three RBIs played a crucial role in the Orioles’ triumph, despite Mike Trout’s historic 10th home run of the season.

The Orioles took an early 6-0 lead, but the Angels staged a late rally. Trout’s solo shot in the sixth ignited the comeback, followed by homers from Taylor Ward and Zach Neto. In the ninth inning, Ehire Adrianza’s infield single and Logan O’Hoppe’s grounder brought the Angels within a run.

However, Orioles closer Craig Kimbrell preserved the victory with a strikeout of Jo Adell, who was caught stealing second. Kimbrell’s 424th career save tied him with John Franco for sixth on the all-time list.
