A’s roll to sixth straight

BALTIMORE — Matt Olson homered during a 10-run third inning in which the first 11 batters reached base, and the A’s beat the Orioles, 10-0, for their sixth straight victory.

Oakland notched 10 hits and two walks in its biggest inning of the year. Olson provided the big blow — a three-run shot off Andrew Cashner (4-15) — and three players had two hits.

That was more than enough offense to enable the A’s to match their longest winning streak of the season. Oakland trails first-place Houston by three games in the AL West and owns a comfortable lead for the second AL wild card. The A’s trail the Yankees by one game.

Daniel Mengden (7-6) pitched five innings of no-hit relief after entering in the second for starter Liam Hendriks, who went one inning by design. Baltimore’s lone hit was a clean single to left field in the first by Trey Mancini.

Baltimore has lost six in a row to fall to 41-104, the worst record in the majors. It’s the eighth time this season the Orioles have been mired in a skid of at least six games.

RED SOX WIN 100TH

The Boston reached 100 wins for the first time since Ted Williams returned from World War II in the 1946 season, beating the Blue Jays, 1-0, on Wednesday night.

David Price (15-6) won his sixth straight decision, allowing three hits and striking out seven. Unbeaten in 11 starts since July 1, Price left after 92 pitches with a lead earned when Rafael Devers scampered home on a wild pitch by Aaron Sanchez (4-6) in the fifth inning.

Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his 39th save in 44 chances.

A night after becoming the first team this year to clinch a playoff spot, Boston won for the 10th time in 14 games and moved a season-high 54 games above .500.

Jonathan Davis had his first major-league hit for Toronto.
