Gentile Finds New Stance as A's Rout Yankees
Kansas City slugger Jim Gentile starts strong after spring training woes, hitting his third homer and raising his average to .412 as Oakland overwhelms New York 8-2. He credits a calmer approach at the plate, following a season start that saw him benched over publicity from a spring incident. The Astounding performance comes with three homers in a game-set and marks him as the AL's first to reach that feat this season.
