7-2!

It's a Sonny Gray!  The Athletics have finally won 2 in a row and they do so in convincing fashion.  The game started with a jaw-dropping Billy Burns lead off shot that screamed off his bat and over the Right Field wall.  It set the pace for what was to follow, a 3 home run effort that helped Sonny and the A's cruise to the win.
