    The Oakland Athletics kept getting hits and scoring runs, circling the bases in a display that manager Bob Melvin described as "remarkable."

    Finally, deep into the third inning, Ramon Laureano hit a popup to the shortstop. A mock cheer swelled from the small crowd of 10,480 at Camden Yards.

    "I was like, `Ooh.' I didn't realize nobody had gotten out yet," Oakland slugger Matt Olson said.

    Olson homered during a 10-run inning in which the first 11 batters reached base, and the Athletics blanked the Baltimore Orioles 10-0 Wednesday night. With their sixth straight victory, the A's moved within one game of the Yankees for the top AL wild card. New York lost 3-1 at Minnesota.
