 BALTIMORE (AP) - Bobby Crosby and Mark Ellis hit consecutive homers, and the Oakland Athletics scored two runs without a hit in the fourth inning to take the lead for good in a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.
Oakland managed only five hits, two after the third inning. But the A's took advantage of a throwing error by reliever Eddy Rodriguez to win their AL-high 19th one-run game, including 11 of the last 12.
Kevin Millar homered for the Orioles, who failed for a fifth time to forge a four-game winning streak. Baltimore, San Francisco and the Chicago Cubs are the only major league teams that haven't won four in a row.
