Oakland tries for its 14th consecutive victory when the Athletics play Baltimore at Camden Yards. It’s the longest winning streak in the majors since Cleveland set an American League record with 22 straight wins in 2017. The A’s, who lost their first six games this season, have outscored opponents 83-36 during the streak. Meanwhile, second baseman José Altuve says he tested positive for COVID-19 but hasn’t felt ill and hopes to return to Houston’s lineup soon. The 2017 AL MVP was among five Astros who were placed on the COVID-19 list April 14. The four other players were back on the active roster within a few days. It’s unclear how much time Altuve will need before playing again.
