Former Astros Rule 5 pick, Nate Freiman, playing for the A's against the Mariners this evening, gets his 1st ML hit, resulting in his 1st ML RBI, then, unfortunately, experiences the embarrassment of being thrown out at the plate on a long double. After that episode, the A's 3rd base coach might possibly have a better idea of how much time it takes to get a 6'8" steamboat safely into port. At least Nate made contact and put the ball into the field of play.
Jed Lowrie 2 doubles, home run and 3 RBIs.
