BALTIMORE — Cole Irvin scattered four hits over seven innings, Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle homered on successive pitches and the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Oakland Athletics 7-0. Gunnar Henderson also went deep on Saturday for the AL East-leading Orioles, who emphatically bounced back from a loss in the series opener Friday night. Baltimore has now gone 100 straight regular-season series of at least two games without being swept. Irvin retired the first nine batters he faced, did not allow a runner past first base and yielded only four singles. Oakland was held without a homer for the first time in 12 games.
