Rips three-bagger in win Laureano went 1-for-4 with a triple and a walk in an extra-innings win over the Astros on Friday.

Impact The versatile outfielder's three-bagger was his first of the season and second of his career, with the fact it came off Zack Greinke adding a bit of luster to the feat. Laureano has now hit safely in three straight games, and he's reached safely in five of the last six contests while lacing three (Friday's triple and two home runs) of his six hits in August for extra bases.

Cranks solo shot Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Plates two runs Laureano went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Laureano has reached base safely in all but one game this season, and he is quickly settling as one of the most productive bats in the Athletics lineup -- he has six RBI in his last four games while racking two extra-base hits and two runs scored in that stretch. He is slashing .324/.419/.559 with a .978 OPS in 43 plate appearances this season.

Triples in loss Semien went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's loss to Seattle.

Impact Semien finally got the A's on the board in the eighth inning with a two-run triple off Bryan Shaw. He then scored thanks to a sacrifice fly from Ramon Laureano. Unfortunately, the A's still came up short. The 29-year-old has now hit safely in six straight games.

Whiffs eight in win Walker (1-1) earned the win Friday by holding the A's scoreless and striking out eight across seven innings. He allowed one hit and a pair of walks.

Impact Walker retired his first eight batters before issuing a walk to Tony Kemp in the third inning. The only hit he gave up was a leadoff double to Ramon Laureano in the fourth. It was a long awaited successful outing for the 27-year-old, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018. Walker will look to stay in the win column with a favorable matchup against the Angels on Thursday.

Crosses plate twice Laureano went 2-for-5 with two runs in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact The red-hot outfielder continued to torment opposing arms Tuesday, churning out his third multi-hit effort of the campaign and scoring his fifth and sixth runs along the way. Laureano's torrid start to the season now sees him hitting .412 through five games, and equally encouraging is the fact he's whiffed only twice through his first 22 plate appearances after posting respective strikeout rates of 28.4 and 25.6 percent in his first two big-league stints.
