Oakland Athletics rookie first baseman Dermis Garcia went 1-for-4 on Thursday with two RBI and three strikeouts in the 5-2 loss to the Houston Astros. Garcia's two-RBI single in the fourth inning provided the only runs for the A's in the ballgame. He's now gone 17-for-59 (.288) with four home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs scored in his first 22 major-league games for the A's this year. Before being called up, the 24-year-old slashed .264/.349/.498 with an .847 OPS, 13 home runs, 44 RBI, 51 runs scored and four stolen bases in 278 plate appearances and 68 games with Triple-A Las Vegas. Garcia has proven to be a timely hitter so far for Oakland and could continue to contribute for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues down the stretch.
