Athletics' Brent Rooker: Two hits in Sunday's loss

Rooker went 2-for-5 in the Athletics' extra-inning loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Rooker had gone 0-for-3 with a walk in his return from the paternity list Saturday, but he upped his production Sunday by generating his fourth multi-hit effort of the last five games. The veteran outfielder is in the stretch run of what has turned out to be a career season, as he's already boasting a career-high 83 RBI and is just one home run away from equaling the 30 he belted in 2023. Rooker's .942 OPS is also far and away the highest of his major-league tenure when factoring out his initial seven-game cameo with the Twins back in 2020.
