The Athletics defeated the Orioles on Saturday to pull within two games of the first-place Rangers in the American League West.

The loss dropped Baltimore into second place in the AL East, one game behind New York.

"No one in this clubhouse is down," Adam Jones said of the Orioles. "The last few days we've been beat. I don't think we've beaten ourselves. We just can't score enough runs."

The Athletics are a season-high 23 games over .500. and have already won 10 more games than they did last year.
