The series is split and the Oakland A’s still have a chance to take two from one of the best young teams in the league, the Baltimore Orioles. A’s ace Paul Blackburn will be on the mound opposite O’s righty Albert Suarez.

The A’s were swept in Cleveland to start the trip, but split a four-game series Yankees. Ross Stripling will get the start for Oakland Friday night, but will have their work cut out for them against Baltimore starter Corbin Burnes.
