On the A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara, the A’s rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 at Camden Yards after being down 6-5.

#2 The first place Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel had a blown save the second one in the series where the A’s came back from behind late in the game to win it. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde came out with the trainer during the pitching change to check on Kimbrel.

#3 Hyde said the Orioles had been playing good baseball but the O’s just had a couple unfortunate endings in the series.

#4 The A’s came away with their third road series win for the season an improvement over last season at this pace. The A’s Seth Brown hit a home run and Brent Rooker hit a two RBI single and the A’s scored their most runs out of the ten games on the road trip.

#5 The A’s return back to the Oakland Coliseum Monday night to host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night at 6:40pm PDT starting pitchers for the Pirates LHP Bailey Falter (2-1 ERA 3.33) for the A’s Joe Boyle (1-4 ERA 7.06).
