Brent Rooker Stays Hot At The Plate
7 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker went 2-4 en route to a 4-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Rooker launched his second home run in as many games in the top of the first to score Zack Gelof. The 29-year-old then knocked an RBI single in the eighth inning to bring in Gelof once again to increase their lead. Rooker has been swinging an awfully hot bat against the Tigers, tallying 11 total bases in the opening two games of this weekend's series. The left fielder launched 30 round-trippers last season and should be considered an above-average power option in a weak Oakland lineup.
