Six Orioles batters either reached base or drove in a run in the 10th. Adley Rutschman led off with a walk against reliever Adrián Martínez, and Ryan Mountcastle, who extended his on-base…
The Orioles’ James McCann, right, is greeted by teammate Ryan McKenna after hitting a home run off Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Ken Waldichuk in the fourth inning Saturday night in Oakland, California. Cole Irvin’s return to Oakland went well for the left-hander, but it took an extra inning for it to be good for his team.
Reliever Jacob Webb hit and walked the first two batters of the 10th, but the club’s newest bullpen addition struck out the next three batters for a scoreless inning. Aside from Shintaro Fujinami, another former Athletics pitcher whom the Orioles traded for, the Orioles’ bullpen was excellent for the second straight night.
Hays homered in the fourth to tie the game at one, and McCann remained hot with a solo homer two batters later that gave the Orioles a brief 2-1 lead. Hays’ long ball off Athletics starter Ken Waldichuk didn’t touch the ground, lodging itself into the left field foul pole. The left fielder has slumped since the All-Star break, but he’s perhaps started to break out of it with six extra-base hits in his past eight starts.
“It was a great team win. We needed this one,” Irvin said. “Coming through with a series win on a long road trip is huge.”Irvin wasn’t sharp to begin his first start back at Oakland Coliseum since being traded to Baltimore in January. He hit the leadoff batter and issued a walk to the second before ending the inning scoreless. Aledmys Díaz then led off the second with a solo home run to left field to give Oakland, losers of 26 of its past 35, a 1-0 lead.
Irvin, who was one of Oakland’s best starters in 2021 and 2022, pitched against his former team in April amid his early season struggles. He surrendered six runs in four innings and was optioned the following day to Triple-A Norfolk, where he spent most of the next two months rediscovering his form. Before Saturday’s game, the Orioles placed outfielder Aaron Hicks on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain. Hicks returned from the IL on Monday after nursing a left hamstring strain, went 2-for-3 against the Padres and was removed with the back injury. Hyde said Hicks’ recovery wasn’t coming along as quickly as the club hoped. His IL stint is retroactive to Wednesday. The veteran has been shut down from doing baseball activity, and Hyde expects him to be out for a “couple weeks.
