SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after fouling a ball that bounced up and hit his groin and caused a testicular contusion, A's center fielder Billy Burns entered Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Giants in the seventh inning.
Burns looked like his usual self in center, kept the game alive with a hit to left in the ninth and looked fine running the bases.
"I felt great," said Burns, who was 1-for-2. "I feel like I'm 100 percent, just a little sore in certain movements, but I'm good."
Before the game, Burns revealed he doesn't wear a protective cup and doesn't plan on wearing one in the future.
