Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann hit home runs as part of an early 10-run explosion and the host Oakland Athletics beat the American League East-leading Baltimore Orioles for the third time this season in a 19–8 shellacking on Saturday afternoon.

Shea Langeliers, Tyler Nevin and Kyle McCann also homered for the A’s, who can win the six-game season series with another victory in the last meeting between the teams Sunday.
