Athletics 3, Orioles 2: Tommy Milone pitched 6 1/3 strong innings and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer as host Oakland earned some breathing room in the American League wild card race.
Jonny Gomes added two hits and an RBI for the Athletics, who sit first in the AL wild card race - two games ahead of Baltimore and the New York Yankees. The Orioles had a chance to take over the AL East lead but remain tied with the Yankees, who dropped a 6-4 decision to Tampa Bay earlier on Friday.
