Gets first holdRomo fired a perfect eighth inning in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, recording one strikeout.

ImpactTasked with protecting a narrow 6-5 lead, Romo came through with a quick 11-pitch frame that served as a bridge to current closer Lou Trivino in the ninth. Romo is projected to remain in a setup role behind Trivino as Trevor Rosenthal undergoes an extended recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, and Tuesday's effort was especially encouraging in that it was the first time in four trips to the mound Romo didn't give up a run.

Singles in pinch-hit capacityMoreland (hamstring) entered Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, lacing a single and subsequently scoring in his one plate appearance.

ImpactMoreland missed a fourth straight start Tuesday, but the fact he was well enough to pinch hit and then remain in the game once he got on certainly speaks well to the improved health of his balky hamstring. With a team day off Wednesday, Moreland appears to have a reasonably good chance of rejoining the starting nine for the start of a four-game series against the Tigers on Thursday.

Goes deep againBrown went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

ImpactAfter failing to clear the fence in his first 101 big-league plate appearances, Brown has now left the yard in each of his last two starts. The 28-year-old has only one other hit besides the homers, however, leaving his average and on-base percentage at .167 and .250, respectively, over his first 20 plate appearances of the season.

Grabs third winPetit (3-0) was credited with the win in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, getting the final out of the seventh inning on six pitches.

ImpactIt was a quick but productive fantasy night for the veteran reliever, as Petit was in the right place at the right time for a victory. The Athletics snapped a 5-5 tie in the top half of the eighth and held on for a two-run win, making Petit the pitcher of record. The 36-year-old is already putting together one of his trademark high-volume, productive seasons, as he's now logged 6.2 innings across seven appearances and boasts a 2.70 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over that span.

Slugs first homerPiscotty went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

ImpactThe 404-foot solo shot in the fourth inning began Oakland's comeback from a 5-0 deficit and served as Piscotty's first homer of the season. The veteran has now reached safely in seven straight games, with extra-base hits in three of his last four contests.
