Mayo, CES lead Orioles to 10-inning win over Athletics, 4-3

For those who stayed up well into Saturday morning to watch the opener of this Orioles-Athletics series, well, I wouldn’t exactly say you witnessed an instant classic.

It is Friday night. Or at least it was when this game started. The Orioles have beaten the Athletics by a 4-3 score over a ten-inning contest.

The Orioles activated utility player Blaze Alexander from the 10-day injured list before Friday night’s game in Sacramento against the Athletics.

Orioles-Athletics series preview: Late night baseball

What is there to say about the Athletics? At 53-81, they aren’t even the worst team in their division! That honor goes to the Los Angeles Angels.

Make No Mistake: A’s GM Gig Is A Desirable One

Something I’ve seen several times here is the notion that the A’s will have trouble luring a quality GM to be the next front office leader of the club. After all several openings will exist (we know for sure Houston is looking) and why would a GM choose the A’s, a nomadic team closing in […]
