JP Sears has another strong start but Oakland still suffers third straight loss.
“This season hasn’t gone the way we wanted it in terms of wins and losses, but that hasn’t taken away from their character coming out of spring training that they were going to fight, they were going to battle until the last out is made,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “They’ve done that throughout the season.”
But Anthony Santander walked leading off the eighth and Ryan Mountcastle beat out a ground ball off Domingo Acevedo . Ramón Urías moved the runners to second and third with a sacrifice bunt. Pinch-hitter Cedric Mullins was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Rutschman earned a six-pitch walk. Mateo followed with a single that drove in two more runs.“We’re playing for our lives right now to try and catch people,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said.
Henderson, rated one of baseball’s top prospects, doubled in the third inning and scored on a bloop double by Robinson Chirinos. Henderson played second base, becoming the first Oriole to start at three different positions in his first three games. He played third base in his big league debut at Cleveland on Wednesday, then moved to his primary position of shortstop the next night.
Mountcastle lined a single later in the third that extended the Orioles’ lead to 2-0 off JP Sears. Opponents had been 2 for their last 25 against Sears with runners in scoring position.Henderson was ready to enjoy a Baltimore tradition in his first game at Camden Yards. “I honestly have been looking forward to hearing the ‘O’ in the national anthem,” Henderson said. “That’s been a thing I wanted to hear ever since I got drafted.”Athletics: OF Ramón Laureano went 2-for-4 in a rehab game for Single-A Stockton on Thursday. Manager Mark Kotsay said Laureano could return Tuesday against Atlanta.Athletics: RHP Adam Oller is 2-3 with a 3.97 ERA in eight starts since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 17.
