Kurtz is the first-ever A's player to have a four-homer game.

Athletics rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz won his second consecutive AL Player of the Week award, MLB announced Monday, to no one’s surprise.

A four-game sweep at the hands of the last-place A’s at Daikin Park highlighted a depleted lineup and saw another starting pitcher join baseball’s longest injured list.

The Astros have won 40, or 55.6%, of the 72 games they've played as favorites this season.
