Athletics Get Road Win, 7-4
Oakland and Baltimore duked it out at Memorial Stadium and the Athletics came out victorious.

Starting pitcher Todd Van Poppel pitched well enough to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 7-4. The Orioles, at 32-42, have lost 4 straight games.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 3rd and one out in the top of the third inning. That's when first baseman John Olerud, who finished 3rd in the UL in doubles with 39 last year, hit a 2-run home run. The Athletics went on to win.

"I know we have our doubters," said Baltimore manager Daniel Ward. "But I still have high hopes for this team."
