Washington Post3 days ago

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Colton Cowser hit a tiebreaking 455-foot home run in the sixth inning and the Baltimore Orioles held on to beat the Athletics 7-4 on Saturday night.
Ramón Laureano also homered and had three hits and three RBIs to help the Orioles get their seventh win in eight games. Gunnar Henderson also had three hits.
Cowser, who homered on Tuesday in his first game back off the 60-day injured list, crushed a first-pitch cutter from A's starter Luis Severino (1-6) that landed deep into the grass beyond the outfield wall in right field.
Keegan Akin (1-0) retired one batter for the win. Felix Bautista struck out three in the ninth for his 12th save.
Jacob Wilson and Lawrence Butler each had two hits for the A's. Tyler Soderstrom, the team leader with 14 home runs, walked four times.
Severino allowed eight hits and six runs — five earned — in 5 2/3 innings.
The A's got to Morton for four runs in a wild first inning that included five hits, a bases-loaded walk and a ground-rule double that bounced into the stands near third base. Max Schuemann also drove in a run with an infield single when he slid under Morton's tag attempt near first base.
The 41-year-old Morton retired seven batters and allowed six hits and four walks.
JJ Bleday led off the fifth with a walk for the Athletics but was thrown out sliding into home plate trying to score on Butler's double
Seven Orioles pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts, extending the team's streak with at least eight Ks to 12 games, the longest active streak in the majors.
Orioles RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (5-3, 3.04 ERA) pitches the series finale Sunday. The A's have not announced a starter.

Manny Machado's 5 RBIs lead Padres' 11-1 rout of pitching-poor Dodgers

SAN DIEGO — Manny Machado had three hits and drove in five runs, Luis Arraez had three hits and scored four times, and the San Diego Padres capitalized on the Los Angeles Dodgers' lack of major league pitchers for an 11-1 victory Tuesday night. Dylan Cease (2-5) struck out 11 and yielded three hits over seven scoreless innings while ending his 11-start winless streak for the Padres, who dominated a bizarre game in this rivalry series.

MINNEAPOLIS — Kyle Higashioka had a season-high five RBIs, Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford hit home runs and the Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins 16-4 on Tuesday night. Carter finished with three hits, three RBIs and scored four times for the Rangers, who had 17 hits. Jake Burger reached safely and advanced to second on a fielding error to lead off the fourth inning and scored on a double by Adolis García. Higashioka followed with a two-run single that gave Texas a 3-0 lead. The Rangers scored five runs with two outs in the fifth and Carter's two-run shot made it 10-3 in the sixth. Tyler Mahle (6-3) gave up four runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Ty France and Royce Lewis hit back-to-back RBI singles in the fourth. Trevor Larnach hit a two-out double and Ryan Jeffers followed with an RBI single in the fifth and Matt Wallner hit a leadoff homer in the sixth. Langford's leadoff homer sparked a six-run eighth that made it 16-4. France has reached base safely in a career-high 21 consecutive games and is hitting .329 (26 for 79) with 15 RBIs during that span. The Rangers are 3-4 on their nine-game road trip but have lost 13 of 20 overall. Corey Seager led off the fifth with a walk and advanced to second on a single by Carter, who moved to second on a wild pitch by starter Simeon Woods Richardson (2-3). Josh Jung hit a two-run single and García doubled before Higashioka added a two-RBI double and scored on a single by Josh Smith. Texas has won three consecutive road games for the first time this season. Jack Leiter (4-2, 3.48 ERA) is scheduled to start Wednesday against Minnesota's David Festa (0-1, 5.40 ERA) in the second of a three-game series. ___ AP MLB:
