- The left side of Oakland’s infield continued to amaze on Monday night...
Marcus Semien is the first @Athletics leadoff hitter with seven RBIs in a game (since 1920, when RBIs first became an official statistic). The last leadoff batter in @MLB with that many RBIs in a game was Matt Carpenter (7 on July 20 last season, Cardinals at Cubs).
