Brent Rooker doubled in the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning to cap a late comeback that carried the Oakland Athletics past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Friday night. After Oakland rallied from a 2-1 deficit to pull even in the ninth against Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel, Rooker put the A's in front with a two-out liner into the left-field corner off Jacob Webb (0-1).

Brent Rooker hit an RBI double to drive in the go-ahead run in extra innings as the visiting Oakland Athletics rallied past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings on Friday to open a three-game series. Rooker finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored. Shea Langeliers hit a home run and Lawrence Butler added a double for Oakland.

The Orioles were three outs away Friday night from improving to 6-0 in games started by Corbin Burnes, but closer Craig Kimbrel had trouble recording them. Kimbrel entered with a one-run lead in the ninth against the visiting Oakland Athletics, hoping to slam the door and continue the stellar start to his Orioles tenure. Heroics from Keegan Akin, who stranded the bases loaded in relief of Kimbrel, kept the score tied, but Baltimore's bats couldn't score in the ninth or 10th in a 3-2 loss. It appeared reliever Jacob Webb would continue Akin's success by retiring the first two batters of the 10th, including a groundout that led to the automatic runner being tagged out between third and home.

The Oakland Athletics are still a losing team with 16 losses in 26 games but they look like a winning one when Mason Miller appears with his arsenal of high-end fastballs and a slider that changes the pace nicely on hitters. The Yankees got a nice look at those pitches, notably Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe, who each faced him twice this week. Volpe was the only to touch Miller, getting a relatively hard-hit single.

After 1-2-3 first and second innings, Cortes gave up a home run to Nick Allen and a two-run shot to Tyler Nevin in the third inning which created a deficit too great for the Yankees to get out of. Dennis Santana and Victor Gonzalez both put up scoreless innings apiece out of the bullpen, but the Yankees' offense sputtered all night, leaving runners in scoring position several times.
