The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Oakland Athletics, 5-2, in American League action at Oakland Coliseum. Baltimore pitcher Nestor Cortes had a standout performance. The save went to Josh Sborz, his 2nd this season. Baltimore is now 17-23, Oakland 23-16.

Baltimore used a well-timed hit by Shohei Ohtani to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Orioles ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Baltimore manager Doc D commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
