June has been a bright month for Skye Bolt.
The 27-year-old outfield prospect entered the month with only a dozen career plate appearances in the majors, in seven games spread over two different seasons. But he got the call to help out on the Oakland A’s bench a couple weeks ago, and since then he’s played in nine of the team’s 13 games in June, including three starts. On Sunday he blasted his first MLB homer.
That dinger is his only hit so far in 13 tries wearing green-and-gold, but at least he has a highlight at the plate.
