NEW YORK -- Dustin Fowler made his highly anticipated debut at Yankee Stadium on Friday -- a year later than planned. He was also wearing a different uniform.
There's more. The now-A's outfielder, making his first start for Oakland, did so against the pitcher he was traded for last year: Sonny Gray.
"It's perfect," Fowler said. "I never got to play in the Stadium last year, so I'm happy to be here and get my first one out of the way here."
Fowler was one of three players -- James Kaprielian and Jorge Mateo were also in the haul -- the A's reeled in from the prospect-rich Yankees last summer.
