Very little has gone right this season for Oakland (21-30), which enters Friday's series opener with the Orioles mired in last place in the American League West, mostly because of a punchless offense. Heading into Thursday, the A's ranked last in the AL in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage, extra-base hits and batting average with runners in scoring position. Outfielder Matt Holliday, acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies before the season, is starting to heat up, going 8-for-19 with three doubles, a homer and five RBIs in his past five games.

The Orioles will draw more than 3 million fans for the third time in their history this season, the club announced yesterday.With eight home games remaining, the Orioles' attendance is 2,733,152.The Orioles and Colorado Rockies -- who went over the 3-million mark last night -- will be the only teams to reach the plateau in the 1995 season, which was shortened to 144 games because of the players strike.The Orioles also drew more than 3 million in 1992 (3,567,819) and 1993 (3,644,965)."We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the fans of Baltimore," said Joe Foss, the Orioles' vice chairman of business and finance.
