CLEVELAND -- A's rookie Chad Pinder homered in each of his first two at-bats in Cleveland on Wednesday evening, giving him seven homers in just 26 games this season.
The shortstop greeted Indians starter Mike Clevinger with a solo shot to left-center field in the third inning for a 1-0 A's lead. After Cleveland responded with a solo homer from Francisco Lindor in the fourth, Pinder was at it again in the fifth, putting the A's back on top via a two-run dinger in the same direction and recording his first multi-homer game.
