Mark Canha Hero For A's Saturday Night
4 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha played the hero Saturday night launching a go-ahead three-run homer in the top of the ninth. One night removed from a five-run comeback in the ninth, the A's found themselves down three in the final frame. After a Sean Murphy solo shot, Canha came up as the go-ahead run and blasted his second homer of the season to put Oakland up 7-6. Canha is batting a solid .271, but boasts an elite .398 on-base percentage thanks to a 13.6 percent walk rate. He sees plenty of RBI opportunities batting fifth in a good A's lineup and is a solid OF option in 12-team mixed leagues.
