Athletics' Tyler Nevin: Swats first homer

Nevin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 3-1 victory versus the Yankees.

Nevin's two-run blast off Nestor Cortes in the third inning proved to be the game-winning hit, as neither team crossed the plate after that point. The long ball was his first this season and just his sixth through 375 big-league plate appearances. Nevin hasn't flashed much power thus far and has never stolen a base as a major leaguer, but he's at least put together a decent .286/.355/.375 slash line this season.
