OAKLAND — Major League Baseball laid down the hammer on A’s outfielder Ramón Laureano and Houston Astros hitting coach Alex Cintrón following Sunday’s skirmish.
By all accounts, it seemed fair. Laureano appealed his six-game suspension, a punishment for charging the Astros’ du. . .
“It’s going to be tough trying to replace Ramón,” Martins said. “I think our lineup is so deep, and guys are having good at-bats and we’re starting to get back into the routine and back to who they are. I think we’ll be OK.”
