Gattis' power surge continues with 11th homer

OAKLAND -- A month after clubbing only his second homer of the season, Astros designated hitter Evan Gattis cranked his 11th in the second inning of Tuesday's game against the A's.

Carlos Correa began the inning with a homer off Daniel Mengden, Yuli Gurriel followed with a double and Josh Reddick walked. Gattis then destroyed the next pitch and sailed it 385 feet over the left-field wall to make it 4-1.
