OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ’ Oakland Athletics slugger Khris Davis didn’t mind much being skipped over for a post-game cream pie to the face and Gatorade bath following his game-winning home run.

Seeing rookie Matt Chapman get the full treatment after hitting his first two home runs in the majors was much more satisfying ’ and clean.

Davis hit his 25th homer, a two-run shot in the ninth inning that lifted the A’s to a 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.

“He deserved it,” Davis said after watching Chapman get doused.
