The 27-year-old had gone 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over his first three games, and although he whiffed on two more occasions in the second game of the twin bill, he at least broke the ice with his pair of singles.

Dermis Garcia - Missing in action after hot startGarcia is hitting .286/.415/.500 with two home runs, an 18.9 BB% and a 22.6 K% in 14 games for Triple-A Las Vegas, but he has not played since April 26.
ImpactHe is not listed as being on the injured list, but he is likely dealing with some sort of ailment. Garcia was once one of the most impressive power-hitting prospects in the lower levels of the minors when he was in the Yankees' organization, but issues making contact combined with his inability to play above the bottom of the defensive spectrum led to him falling out of prospect relevancy. If he can get back in action and stay hot at the dish, we could see the A's give him a look this season given the dearth of talent at the big-league level.
