Causey Hefts 2 Bats For A's Series Win Over Yanks
Kansas City shortstop Wayne Causey powered the Athletics with a three run homer that beat the New York Yankees 4 to 2. The left handed hitter lifted Oakland from last place and helped seal a 2 1 series victory. Causey has eight hits in 16 at bats and seven RBIs in his current four game stretch. He credited a lighter bat for faster swing against lefties and noted his superstition of touching first base after wins. The hit raised his average to .288 and he leads Oakland in hits and walks, with manager Eddie Lopat praising his leadership and potential to hit 800 this year.
