Oaklnd got the scoring started today, something that has been rare recently. After a 1-2-3 inning from JP Sears (which included a HBP but also a double play), the bats got to work against Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti. Facing the young right-hander, the first two A’s got on base for DH Brent Rooker. And all he did was drive in both with a double down the left field line:

That gave Sears an early lead with which to work with.
