NEW YORK -- The smile from Dustin Fowler's face could not be erased as he detailed the feeling of getting his first career hit after a lengthy rehab from a serious knee injury.
The rest of the Oakland A's also experienced plenty of reasons to smile Friday.
After Oakland's Fowler collected his first hit and the A's hit four homers in their 10-5 victory in the series opener, they hope to stay productive Saturday afternoon in the second game of the three-game series against the New York Yankees.
Fowler was among three prospects the A's acquired at the non-waiver trade deadline from the Yankees for Sonny Gray.
