Jed Lowrie helps A’s knock off Orioles
For months, Jed Lowrie has been mentioned as a likely candidate to be traded by the A’s. The second baseman has remained in Oakland, and on Friday night, he was the central figure in the A’s 5-4 win over Baltimore at the Coliseum.
The Orioles led 4-3 in the eighth. Matt Joyce opened the inning with a double to right-center off reliever Brad Brach. After Marcus Semien singled, Lowrie unloaded his second double of the night. It tied the game and moved Semien to third.
Lowrie also hit two doubles in the A’s 7-2 loss to Baltimore on Thursday night. He leads the majors with 37 doubles.
