In a thrilling matchup between the Oakland Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles, Brent Rooker emerged as the hero of the night as he doubled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to secure a 3-2 victory for the A’s.

The game was a back-and-forth battle, with the Orioles taking an early lead before the Athletics mounted a late comeback to even the score in the ninth inning. Rooker’s clutch hit off Jacob Webb proved to be the difference-maker, sending the A’s to an improbable win against one of the top teams in the AL.

Mitch Spence picked up the win with three hitless innings of relief, while Mason Miller closed out the game with his seventh save of the season. The A’s showed resilience and determination, refusing to back down even when facing a deficit late in the game.

Shea Langeliers contributed to the offensive effort with a home run in the first inning, setting the tone for the A’s comeback. Despite their struggles when trailing after eight innings, Oakland found a way to come out on top in this hard-fought battle.

The victory sets the stage for an exciting continuation of the series, with JP Sears set to start for the A’s in the second game against Cole Irvin of the Orioles. Both teams will look to build on the intensity of this game and continue their pursuit of success in the competitive AL.
