Eddie Matz ESPN Senior Writer
99 wins. That's what the Oakland A's are on pace to finish the season with, following a 10-0 skunking of the Orioles. Now if only Houston would stop winning. Despite the A's victory - their sixth in a row - they're still three games behind the Astros (9-1 in their last ten) in the AL West.
Eddie Matz ESPN Senior Writer
Oakland's bullpen and defense get plenty of love, but don't sleep on the offense. Entering play today, the A's had a .791 OPS since June 1, best in the bigs. That number's gone up a little bit tonight, as Oakland is absolutely blitzing Orioles pitching. In the third inning, the first 11 batters reached base as the A's hung a 10-spot on Baltimore.

Fiers stays unbeaten with Oakland, A's top Orioles 3-2
Mike Fiers remained unbeaten in an Oakland uniform, working six solid innings to lead the Athletics past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on a damp Tuesday night.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
OK, every team is good at beating the Orioles in 2018, but the A's continue to put pressure on the Astros with a 3-2 victory in Baltimore. The A's are a remarkable 54-21 in the past 75 games, after going 34-36 in their first 70. The A's also have an easy schedule the rest of the way: two more in Baltimore, at Tampa, home against the Angels and Twins and a season-ending trip to Seattle and Anaheim. The Astros will not be able coast to a division title.

Davis, Olson homer as A's beat Rangers 8-6 to stay hot
Khris Davis hit his major league-leading 41st home run, Matt Olson homered to drive in the go-ahead run and the Oakland Athletics defeated the Texas Rangers 8-6 on Saturday for their fifth win in six games.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
If Khris Davis ends up leading the majors in home runs, he can send a gift basket -- or a bunch of them -- to the Rangers. He has 10 home runs against Texas, the most by any player against one team. In fact, he has 27 against the Rangers over the past three seasons, also the most against one team in that span.
