The bottom of the first inning began with an inside-the-park home run from A's right fielder Lawrence Butler, and they didn't take their foot off the gas until they'd put up ten runs across three innings. The second pitch of the game hit All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson on the hand and he left the game with a left hand contusion, according to the team.
The Atlanta Braves had a rising prospect in their system, Didier Fuentes on the mound on Monday night in West Sacramento, but he's in the rotation more because of a rash of injuries, rather than being ready to contribute to the team at this time.
