Athletics Keep Streak Alive with Late Rally
In a low-scoring contest between the Oakland Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles, 20-year old right-handed pitcher Bill Holland proved to be the difference. The Oakland right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Athletics win. Oakland reliever Andrew Bailey snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Erik Bedard shouldered the loss. Early on, the Athletics, at 10-4, have excelled.

Mark McGwire came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Holland.
