Orioles 3, Athletics 2
BALTIMORE — Rookie Zach Britton took a four-hitter into the seventh, Mark Reynolds homered and the Orioles completed a three-game sweep. The Athletics lost their ninth consecutive game, their longest skid since a 10-game run in 2008. Oakland scored four runs in the series and never held a lead. J.J. Hardy drove in a run for Baltimore, which has won four of five and swept three games from the A's in Baltimore for the first time since July 21-23, 1998.
