Jack Perkins didn’t just win his first big league game—he did it with style, shutting down the Orioles after a rocky first inning. Gunnar Henderson’s early three-run homer could have rattled a rookie, but Perkins responded by retiring 18 of the next 19 batters he faced, pumping 94-96 mph heat deep into his 84-pitch outing. It was the kind of performance that makes you think the A’s might have something special in the 25-year-old right-hander. 

Meanwhile, the offense treated Camden Yards like a pinball machine. Shea Langeliers stayed scorching hot with his 23rd homer in a 3-for-4 night, Brent Rooker crushed his 24th, and Nick Kurtz extended his on-base streak to 24 games. Four hitters—Langeliers, Rooker, Kurtz, and Tyler Soderstrom—are now sitting at 20+ homers and 50+ RBIs, powering an A’s lineup ranked top 10 in nearly every major offensive category. This was the team’s 10th double-digit scoring night of the year, and it came in emphatic 11-3 fashion.
