Oakland beat Baltimore on the strength of starting pitcher Mike Sirotka's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-2. The second-place Athletics go to 29-21.

Oakland won the game in part because of Henry L Rodriguez. The left fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics ahead, 4-2. For the game, Rodriguez had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"My job is to go out and execute," said Sirotka.
