June 19 (UPI) -- The Oakland Athletics rode six home runs, including the first career home run from 29-year-old rookie Beau Taylor, in a 16-2 rout over Baltimore.
Taylor, a fifth-round pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, began the home run parade with a solo shot against Orioles starter Gabriel Ynoa on Tuesday night. Teammates Chad Pinder, Khris Davis, Ramon Laureano, Robbie Grossman and Stephen Piscotty all added home runs of their own.
