Skye Bolt launched his first career homerun in the majors on Saturday in an 11-2 victory for the Oakland Athletics.
With a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the eighth, the A’s looked to win game three of the four-game series. Bolt, the leadoff man, had not factored into the offense as he struck out his previous three at-bats in the contest.
