OAKLAND, Calif. — The Athletics got another strong start from Frankie Montas and took advantage of four unearned runs allowed by the Baltimore Orioles Monday night for a 5-1 win in their home opener.

The A’s improved to 6-5 after a .500 road trip against three playoff contenders before a home crowd of 17,503, the least attended Coliseum home opener in more than 30 years.

Montas (2-1) departed after six innings, giving up one earned run with two walks and five strikeouts. He threw 84 pitches, 54 of them strikes. He was replaced by Domingo Acevedo in the seventh. Acevedo gave up two hits but no runs after Seth Brown’s one-hop strike to Sean Murphy cut down a run at the plate for an inning-ending double play.
