Piscotty hits A's 2nd walkoff slam this year, beats Rangers
Stephen Piscotty hit Oakland’s second walkoff grand slam of the year and the Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 Tuesday night for their fourth straight winAUGUST 5, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
On base four times in win Olson went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, three walks and a run in a win over the Mariners on Monday.
Impact As his line implies, Olson was a constant thorn in the side of Mariners pitching all night. The productive outing was an especially welcome sight for the slugger, for whom things had steadily gone downhill following a game-winning grand slam on Opening Night. Olson had come into Monday's game mired in an 0-for-14 slump that encompassed the previous four games, and even factoring in his production during Monday's rout, the 26-year-old's average and slugging percentage sit at an anemic .152 and .242, respectively.

On base thrice in loss Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.
Impact Olson provided the struggling Athletics offense with one of only two multi-hit efforts on the night. The slugging first baseman snapped a three-game hitless streak with Tuesday's effort, with his brief skid coming after he slugged a game-winning grand slam in extra innings on Opening Night against the Angels.
