BALTIMORE (AP) — Brent Rooker doubled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to cap a late comeback that carried the Oakland Athletics past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Friday night.
After Oakland rallied from a 2-1 deficit to pull even in the ninth against Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel, Rooker put the A’s in front with a two-out liner into the left-field corner off Jacob Webb (0-1).
With a song by the rock band AC/DC blaring in the clubhouse, the Athletics celebrated an improbable victory against one of the AL’s best teams.
“This is as much energy as we’ve had. You can kind of feel it in there,” starter Ross Stripling said. “A comeback win against a really good team, the boys are enjoying it.”
After taking two of four from the Yankees, Oakland got off to a good start against another strong AL East club.
“We’re holding our own. We’re starting to get some momentum and confidence,” Stripling said. “It’s been fun.”
