A's beat Orioles, continue winning streak

OAKLAND -- Jason Giambi hit a three-run double that helped rookie Trevor Cahill end a three-start losing streak, and the A's won their season-best fifth consecutive game with a 9-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night. Orlando Cabrera and Adam Kennedy each doubled twice and drove in two runs. The first seven hits by the A's were doubles, but they saw the end to their streak of six consecutive games with a home run. Cahill (3-5), who had struggled for run support in recent outings, was staked to a 5-0 lead in the third inning on Giambi's double against Jason Berken (1-2). Kennedy hit a two-out RBI double, then Jack Cust and Matt Holliday each drew walks to load the bases for Giambi. Cahill struck out five in six innings and didn't walk a batter for the second time in 12 starts.
