OAKLAND -- Carlos Correa clubbed his 17th home run Monday and knocked in his 50th RBI, joining teammate George Springer as the only players in franchise history to reach those totals in their first 75 big league games.
Springer accomplished the feat last year with 19 homers and 50 RBIs in his first 75 games after being called up midseason.
Correa arrived at the Coliseum on Monday needing a homer and four RBIs to become a member of Springer's elite club.
The rookie shortstop drove in a run in the first inning on a groundout, then made his mark in the seventh, when he crushed a three-run blast into the left-field seats off Athletics reliever Fernando Rodriguez.
