A’s top Orioles behind another multi-hit game by Jacob Wilson

Max Muncy homered and Jacob Wilson turned in his fifth consecutive multi-hit game in the Athletics’ 5-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles in West Sacramento, Calif., on Sunday.
The Athletics took two of three games in the weekend series. Wilson was 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Tyler Soderstrom also finished 2-for-4 with an RBI.
The Orioles had eight hits and had won seven of their last eight games.
Sean Newcomb (1-4) got the win with three innings of shutout relief, allowing three hits, no walks and striking out three. He followed Athletics starter Jacob Lopez, who went four innings, giving up four hits, one run — which was unearned — while walking two and striking out five.
Baltimore starter Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4) took the loss. He gave up four runs (three earned) and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, with one walk and two strikeouts.
Lopez got out of a first- and second-base, one-out jam in the third by striking out Gunnar Henderson and getting Ramon Laureano to fly out to right.
The Athletics had scored three runs in the bottom of the second to take a 4-1 lead. Jhonny Pereda doubled in a run, Henderson’s fielder’s choice at short — on Lawrence Butler’s grounder — allowed a run to score, and Wilson singled in the inning’s final run.
Muncy led off the eighth with his third home run of the season as he drove Bryan Baker’s first-pitch, four-seam fastball an estimated 431 feet over the left-field fence.
The Orioles had tied it 1-1 in the second when a wild pickoff-attempt throw to third by Pereda, the Athletics’ catcher, allowed Ramon Urias to score. Emmanuel Rivera also stole second on the play but was tagged out trying to advance to third.
Soderstrom’s two-out RBI single in the first gave the Athletics a 1-0 lead.
