The hits came from all directions, up and down the A’s lineup, in the kind of game that even struggling offensive clubs get to savor now and then.
Of all the great things the A’s did in a 16-3 shellacking of the Royals on Monday night, seeing Khris Davis and Marcus Semien slowly circling the bases might have been the best development.
Neither of Oakland’s two leading home run hitters had gone deep much lately. But Davis and Semien each drilled three-run homers to highlight the A’s highest-scoring game of the season.
Davis crushed a 467-shot to center off Dillon Gee in the third to put the A’s up 3-0.
