Odorizzi was immediately removed from the match by manager Paul Molitor and tipped his cap to the crowd as he left the pitch for a standing ovation.

Grandal scored twice later in the inning, a ball caught by a young fan with a glove over the wall while the ball was still in play.

ATHLETICS 10, ORIOLES 0

It was more than enough offensive to allow the A to match their longest streak of wins of the season. Oakland leads first place in Houston by three games in the AL West and has a comfortable lead for the AL's second Wild card.

Daniel Mengden (7-6) launched five clear rounds of safety after going into second base for starter Liam Hendriks, who took part in one run by design. The only shot from Baltimore was a simple, simple field on the left in the first by Trey Mancini.
