Bay Area residents awoke to loud rumblings Sunday morning, and it may have been thunder from the overnight storm. Or, it might have been the sound still echoing from Mark Canha’s epic home run the night before.
The Oakland A’s outfielder has established himself as a quality performer at this point, putting together an excellent campaign in 2019 and carrying on that success this summer without missing a beat. He’s one of the better hitters in the league, with plus power and top-notch patience and pitch selection, and defensively he’s currently filling in at center field while a teammate is out of action.
