“It's a lot of fun,” he said after the 5-1 victory. “Pretty unique for that to happen in such a short amount of time. It's a lot of fun celebrating like that.”

Oakland got five strong innings from Jesus Luzardo, who at 22 years old became the youngest Athletics pitcher to start a game since Brett Anderson in 2010. He went five strong innings, didn’t allow a run and struck out five.
