OAKLAND, Calif. -- As mid-July statements go, the Oakland Athletics delivered a powerful message to the Baltimore Orioles. Sonny Gray struck out eight to win his fifth consecutive decision, and the major-league best As pounded the Orioles 10-2 on Sunday in the final regular-season meeting between the AL division leaders. "I guess it says good things about it," said As catcher John Jaso, who tripled, singled and had two RBIs. "If we face them down the line, we face them down the line. But its not something that we think about." The As (61-37) overpowered the AL East-leading Orioles (53-44) to take two of three at the Coliseum and finish 4-2 against Baltimore this year. Oakland had 15 hits and chased starter Kevin Gausman (4-3) in the fifth before beating up Baltimores bullpen the rest of the way. Grey (11-3) gave up two runs, one earned, two hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander hasnt lost since June 13 at the New York Yankees. "As the game kind of went on and we were able to put some runs together, it was really big because then I could just take a deep breath and really start attacking the guys, and throwing my stuff up there and have them put it in play," Gray said. Oaklands offence started fast and got contributions from all over. Stephen Vogt had three hits and drove in a run. Josh Donaldson had two singles and two RBIs. Craig Gentry singled twice and had two RBIs. Eric Sogard singled twice and drove in a run after starting the day in a 4-for-35 slump. Two-time reigning Home Run Derby champion Yoenis Cespedes singled and doubled for his first extra-base hit since June 25. "They pick their spots to ambush. They took a lot of good pitches," said Gausman, who gave up five runs and nine hits in four-plus innings. He didnt get much relief, either. T.J. McFarland allowed two runs -- one earned -- in the fifth, and Ryan Webb was charged with three runs in two-thirds of an inning. The Orioles never got going against Gray and managed just three hits. J.J. Hardys RBI double in the fifth was Baltimores first hit. Nelson Cruz also reached on a throwing error by shortstop Jed Lowrie -- one of three throwing errors by As infielders -- in the seventh before Manny Machados RBI single ended Grays afternoon. But Gray and the As got the win with the same deep and consistent effort theyve received across the lineup most of the season. Coco Crisp singled leading off the first and scored on Jasos triple. Jaso crossed the plate after a wild pitch by Gausman to give the As a 2-0 lead. Oakland added another run on a weird blunder by Baltimore in the third, when centre fielder Adam Jones -- and several Orioles players -- started trotting to the dugout after he caught Donaldsons fly for the second out. Cespedes jogged home from third, and Jones stopped and dropped his shoulders after realizing his mistake. Donaldson said he even questioned whether the scoreboard was correct when Jones began his trot to the dugout. Both managers said they were surprised, too. No matter. Jaso singled to drive in another run in the fourth that extended Oaklands lead to 4-0. The As added three runs in the fifth, getting help from a throwing error by Machado -- who continued to get booed for his bat-throwing incident against Oakland in Baltimore last month -- at third base, and scored three more in the sixth. Eric OFlaherty tossed 1 1-3 scoreless innings and Sean Doolittle pitched a perfect ninth as the As closed out the Orioles.

Vidal, a versatile Chile midfielder, converted a controversial penalty in the 18th minute. He then found the net from beyond the area in the 64th and Stephan Lichtsteiner added Juves third in the 85th after a counterattack. While not exactly routing opponents, with seven goals in four matches, Juventus defence has been superb even without injured centre back Andrea Barzagli. The three-time defending Italian champion is also yet to concede in Europe, having opened its Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Malmo. Roma also remained unbeaten after Miralem Pjanic scored with a free kick in the 88th for a 2-1 win at Parma. The Giallorossi conceded a goal for the first time this season and dropped behind Juventus on goal difference. Paolo De Ceglie had equalized for Parma with a header in the 56th after Adem Ljajic gave Roma the lead in the 27th. Inter Milan, Sampdoria and Hellas Verona are each four points back. Inter beat Atalanta 2-0 at the San Siro with an impressive acrobatic goal in the 45th from Pablo Osvaldo and a free kick that went in off the post from Hernanes in the 87th. Osvaldo came on in the first half for Mauro Icardi, who limped off after a defender drove a knee into his right thigh. Goals from Daniele Gastaldello and Alessio Romagnoli gave Sampdoria a 2-1 home win over Chievo Verona. Verona also remained unbeaten after rallying at home from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Genoa. Alessandro Matri scored twice for Genoa but Verona struck back with goals from Panagiotis Tachtsidis and Artur Ionita. AC Milan, which drew 2-2 at promoted Empoli on Tuesday, is sixth, five points behind the leaders. Napoli was held to a 3-3 draw at home by Palermo and is aalready eight points back after finishing third last season.dddddddddddd The pressure is mounting on Napoli manager Rafa Benitez, who has guided the southern club to just two wins in seven matches in all competitions this season. Napoli failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing a playoff to Athletic Bilbao and has only produced one win in Serie A, with the other victory coming against Sparta Prague in the Europa League. Elsewhere, Fiorentina was held 0-0 at home by Sassuolo and Torino scored its first goals of the season in a 2-1 win at Cagliari. At the Juventus stadium, Juventus rested Carlos Tevez and Paul Pogba but still dominated from start to finish. The Bianconeri took control when the referee ruled that Emmanuel Cascione voluntarily blocked a shot from Roberto Pereyra with his arm even though it appeared that the Cesena defender was trying to protect himself from getting hit in the face. Cesena protested vehemently but the referee pointed to the penalty spot and Vidal scored with a poor shot that goalkeeper Nicola Leali could only get a weak hand on. Fernando Llorente had a chance for Juve in the 34th after spinning around but shot just wide. Vidals second goal came from outside the area and Lichsteiner then chipped in over Leali. In Parma, Roma was without eight injured players, including key midfielder Daniele De Rossi and newly signed forward Juan Iturbe. But it was captain Francesco Totti, who turns 38 this week, who set up Ljajics goal by leaving the Serbian forward with only the goalkeeper to beat. Antonio Cassano threatened for Parma in the 54th and then De Sceglie rose above Romas defence to redirect in a corner. The match appeared headed for a draw until Pjanic showed off his free-kick expertise by curling a shot over Parmas wall that went in off the underside of the crossbar. Roma visits Juventus on Oct. 5.
