CoJack gets his first hit and first run! Nice to see a guy who doesn’t suck a lot at hitting lead off.

Slusser: He’s also added another element to his game. Barton felt as if he was letting the team down too much the past two seasons by failing to move runners from second to third with nobody out. So this year, he’s bunting in those situations. He has nine sacrifice bunts already. No A’s player had ...
