Nick Kurtz delivered a two-run triple and extended his on-base streak to 32 games as the Athletics beat the Orioles 4-3 on Friday night at Camden Yards.
Kurtz collected two hits and drove in a pair of runs during the Athletics' three-run fifth inning. His performance tied him for the second-longest single-season on-base streak by an Oakland player since 2000. The 23-year-old noted that power production comes in streaks and focused instead on other ways to help the team win.
