Fuld provides bright spot with stellar defense

"It's amazing," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "There was at least one ball when it was hit I didn't think he had any chance at. Whether it's left, whether it's center, whether it's right, he's one of the premier defenders in the league at any position."
