Trumbo hits slam, majors-leading 32nd HR, leads O's over A's (Yahoo Sports)

Mark Trumbo hit a grand slam for his major league-leading 32nd homer and drove in five runs as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Oakland Athletics 9-6 Thursday to avoid a four-game sweep. The Orioles had been shut out for 17 straight innings and lost their lead in the AL East following three consecutive one-run losses before Trumbo sparked them. The All-Star slugger hit an RBI single in a three-run fourth, then connected the next inning for his third career grand slam.
