Baltimore blasts past Oakland to start road trip

The A’s were 13 games under. The reasons for being in last place in May are not quite the same as they are now. This is the first of nine games out west.

In what may be a sign of a changing in the rotation five days from now, newly acquired Felix Doubront tossed 4 1/3 innings in relief, striking out five while allowing three runs. Monday night, Crisp said he came back too soon the first time.

Oakland is 2-6 following a loss, 3-9 in their last 12 games, and 1-4 in Bassitt’s last five starts.

The total is set at 7.5 and while I don’t love the play my free pick here is going to be the over. This time whereas I used to be down there, there have been a few issues whereas I used to be enjoying I ended up determining proper as much as that final at-bat down there. “This time when I was down there [on minor league rehab assignment] I was able to figure a few things out”, said Crisp. He has not made an error since May 8 and his. He is incorporating that into his recreation now, though Monday’s recreation did not pressure him to do something notably radical.

Vogt is aware of how that goes.

“Sometimes you get a little bit frustrated and you start to press”. “Hopefully he’s past what was a tough period for him”. He went a season-low three innings July 24 at San Francisco then five at Dodger Stadium last Wednesday.

Chris Davis has equaled his 2014 output with 26 home runs and 72 RBIs. Melvin stated he did not need to use Reddick on Monday after he left Sunday’s recreation with again ache.

Infielder/outfielder Danny Valencia was claimed off waivers from Toronto and was expected to join the A’s on Tuesday. 316 this season. He might be given a shot at a platoon at second base. Melvin said the A’s wanted to give Leon, who is up for the fifth time this season, a better look than he got earlier.

The A’s optioned outfielder Jake Smolinski to Triple-A Nashville to clear roster room. He had given Oakland a right-handed presence since the A’s picked him up from Texas, with a. 320 average and two homers in 25 at-bats.

Following the game against the Detroit Tigers, Orioles manager Buck Showalter decided to err on the side of caution and move back Tillman’s next start.
