OAKLAND — The ball was carrying to center and right field Tuesday night at the Coliseum.
Was it ever.
The Athletics got home runs from six different players and Brett Anderson pitched seven innings with one earned run in a 16-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles before a crowd of 14,310.
The game was blown open in a 10-run sixth inning that included three-run home runs from Khris Davis (his 16th) and Stephen Piscotty (his ninth). Robbie Grossman also hit a two-run shot, his fifth in the sixth.
Ramon Laureano had four hits, including a three-run home run in the fourth, and other home runs came from Beau Taylor in the third, his first in the major leagues, and Chad Pinder in the seventh, a pinch-hit two-run home run that went out in left field.
