Two home runs from Adam Jones was a huge part of the Baltimore Orioles’ 18-2 victory over Oakland, one of which came in the Birds’ nine-run fifth inning. Yes folks, you read that correctly – a nine-run fifth inning. This of course was an Oakland team that had given the Orioles fits the past two nights, with the O’s having to win in walk off fashion in both games. This afternoon that most certainly wasn’t necessary.
Wei-Yin Chen lasted only six innings, but mainly because if there’s one thing that Oakland did well today it was to foul pitches off.
