McKinney goes deep, A's avert sweep in 4-1 win over Phillies

Homers on Opening Day Brown went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 9-5 loss Friday in Philadelphia.

Impact Brown's seventh-inning homer off Aaron Nola ended the Phillie starter's day. The slugger struggled all spring, hitting just .147/.171/.294, but still ended up batting fifth and starting at first base on Opening Day. With only a .227 career batting average, Oakland hopes to get another 20-homer season from Brown. That said, he has been exclusively a platoon player in his career and should continue to see the vast majority of his playing time against right-handed starters.

In Oakland, trades of stars Chapman, Olson mean opportunity

For the remade Oakland Athletics, there are opportunities all over the roster

APRIL 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Could get shot at first base job Brown could develop into the leading candidate to serve as the Athletics' primary first baseman in the wake of Matt Olson's trade to Atlanta, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brown saw his most extensive big-league action yet in 2021, logging 307 plate appearances during which he put together a .214/.274/.480 slash line with 20 home runs and 48 RBI. While his contact rate and on-base percentage clearly need work, the lefty-swinging Brown's power and 203 games of minor-league experience at first base could certainly help him state his case this spring for the strong side of a platoon at the position.

Homers twice in last game Brown went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Astros.

The 28-year-old finished his season with a .214/.274/.480 slash line, including 20 homers, 48 RBI and 40 runs scored in 307 plate appearances.

Productive in first start back Brown went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Royals on Tuesday, his first start since being activated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Impact The slugging outfielder had made pinch-hit appearances in both games over the weekend against the Rangers, so Tuesday marked his first start since his activation. The 29-year-old had been mired in a 1-for-18 slump over the eight games prior to his sabbatical, so perhaps Tuesday's solid night at the plate will help set him on a positive direction.

Impact Brown tested positive for COVID-19 on Aug. 27. He played in a rehab game with Low-A Stockton on Thursday and went 2-for-5 with a solo homer. The 22-year-old will continue to provide Oakland outfield depth during the season's final weeks, and he figures to see some starts against right-handed starters going forward.
