Ripken Excels in Oakland Win
Oakland shortstop Billy Ripken had a 4-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 13-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. With the win over Baltimore, the Athletics improved to 19-29.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Herbert Perry to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Athletics on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Athletics manager Jim B. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
