Oakland A's catcher Kyle McCann stood momentarily and dropped his bat after he drove Craig Kimbrel's 3-2 offering into the seats next to the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field at Camden Yards. McCann's reaction was understandable, given that it was one of the biggest moments of his young big league career and of the A's season so far. McCann's two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning capped a dramatic rally as the A's earned a 7-6, series-deciding victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

The Oakland Athletics (12-17) will host the Pittsburgh Pirates (14-15), Monday at 9:40 PM ET, in the first game of a three-game series. The Pirates are a favorite (-133) against the Athletics (+112). The matchup on the mound for this contest is set with the Pittsburgh Pirates looking to Bailey Falter (2-1), and Joseph Boyle (1-4) getting the nod for the Oakland Athletics. The Pirates lost 3-2 to the Giants yesterday, with Jared Jones (five innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits while striking out three) on the line for the loss.

Closer Craig Kimbrel blew his second save in as many opportunities and departed with back tightness on Sunday as the Oakland Athletics rallied to a 7-6, series-deciding victory over the Baltimore Orioles. “I mean I don’t know how long, what the time table is with Craig, or if any at all,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said postgame of the nine-time All-Star. Two nights after he threw only eight of 24 pitches for strikes, Kimbrel (3-1) threw six straight balls to open his outing, the fifth of which prompted the first visit from Hyde and team medical staff.

A's Third Baseman J.D. Davis Set to Begin Rehab Stint Author: Jason Burke Apr 28, 2024 SACRAMENTO -- Oakland A's third baseman J.D. Davis, currently on the IL, is in Sacramento with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators and will officially join the roster ahead of Sunday's game against the River Cats. Davis, on the IL since April 15 with a right adductor strain, had started the season hot, batting .364 with four extra-base hits in the A's first two series of the season, but then cooled off quite a bit in the following three series against the Tigers, Rangers, and Nationals. J.D. Davis has seen 26 pitches so far this series. All 26 have been four-seam fastballs. He's 0-for-5 with 3 K's. — Jason Burke

Oakland A's manager Mark Kotsay has already seen these impressive performances from left-handed starter Cole Irvin. Irvin, who won a combined 19 games in 2021 and 2022 with Oakland, was at his best again Saturday. “His location was great today,” Kotsay said of Irvin, who, with pitching prospect Kyle Virbitsky, was traded to the Orioles in Jan. 2023 for infielder Darell Hernaiz.

BALTIMORE -- — Cole Irvin scattered four hits over seven innings, Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle homered on successive pitches and the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Oakland Athletics 7-0 on Saturday.

Gunnar Henderson also went deep for the AL East-leading Orioles, who emphatically bounced back from a 10-inning loss in the series opener Friday night. Baltimore has now gone 100 straight regular-season series of at least two games without being swept. Irvin retired the first nine batters he faced, did not allow a runner past first base and yielded only four singles — none in the same inning. The lefty struck out five and walked none in his longest outing since 2022, when he pitched for the A's.

The Oakland A's Are Sneaky Good? Author: Jason Burke Apr 27, 2024 After splitting a four-game series with the New York Yankees on the road to start the week, the Oakland A's came from behind to tie the game in the top of the ninth in Baltimore on Friday, and then secured the win in the tenth. On a road trip that included stops against the three top teams in the American League, the A's are holding their own--mostly. This week against New York and the first game against Baltimore, the A's are 3-2. The first stop in Cleveland last weekend ended in a series sweep by the home team, and former A's catcher and new Guardians manager Stephen Vogt seems to have his old team's number in 2024, boasting

The Oakland Athletics — wherever they may be playing in a couple years – likely will be featuring two talented outfielders currently playing in Lansing, Michigan. Henry Bolte and Bryan Buelvas both have speed to burn, developing power, and enough enthusiasm for the game to light up the Las Vegas Strip. In a few years, they very well could be playing in Vegas, where the A's intend to move after a supposed stop in Sacramento while a new stadium is being built among the bright-light casinos. Through 19 games, each guy has exactly 17 hits, 3 homers and is 8-for-8 in stolen-base attempts.

Brent Rooker doubled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to cap a late comeback that carried the Oakland Athletics past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Friday night. After Oakland rallied from a 2-1 deficit to pull even in the ninth against Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel, Rooker put the A's in front with a two-out liner into the left-field corner off Jacob Webb (0-1).
