The Oakland A’s opened a three-game series at A.L. East-leading Baltimore with a comeback win that saw Mason Miller earn another save and Shea Langeliers homer.

Miller retired all three batters he faced in the bottom of the 10th, two by strikeout for his seventh save in seven chances. After taking two of four from the Yankees, Oakland got off to a good start against another strong AL East club. Baltimore took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth and turned to their All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel. But the veteran right-hander couldn’t get through the inning. He threw 23 pitches, but just eight for strikes.
“We took advantage of Kimbrel giving us an opening there and then pulled out a big win here in Baltimore that most people did not see coming,” Stripling said.The veteran’s run of poor luck – and run support – has been the main culprit. Stripling held the high-powered Orioles to two runs, but left in the sixth inning with the A’s trailing 2-1. In six starts, the A’s have scored just six runs with Stripling in the game.
Burnes, the former Saint Mary’s star, gave up one run and three hits in six innings, with Langeliers’ homer the one glaring flaw. Burnes struck out six and walked three.
