On the A’s podcast with Jerry Feitlelberg:

#1 The Oakland A’s snapped their six-game losing streak Wednesday night as they downed the Baltimore Orioles 8-4. The A’s scored eight runs for the second night in a row.

#2 The A’s starter, lefty Ken Waldichuk, had his best outing of the season. He did not get the win, but he pitched into the seventh inning. The A’s bullpen did the rest.

#3 The A’s jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Leadoff hitter Tony Kemp doubled to deep right-center field. Brent Rooker hit a homerun to help contribute to the eight run total.

#4 A’s reliever Domingo Acevedo has been put on the 15 day Injured List due to a lower back strain. Acevedo has struggled in the relief in particular the A’s last home stand against the Angels and the Guardians running his ERA up to 13.50 in his first five games surrendering ten hits and eight runs. Acevedo did have a good spring training with an 0.96 ERA.

#5 .The A’s will start Adam Oiller (0-0 ERA 4.66) Former A’s pitcher, lefty Cole Irvin (0-2 ERA 9.35), will pitch for the Birds. Irvin will be making his first start as an Oriole, and the crafty lefty would love a victory over his former teammates. The game will start at 10 am.
