Josh Naylor smashed his first home run since joining the Seattle Mariners, giving Seattle a crucial lift in their AL West playoff chase.

The A’s completed a sweep of the Houston Astros Sunday with a 7-1 win. J.T. Ginn and two relievers limited Houston to seven hits and just a single run while the offense for the Athletics smoked Colton Gordon and the Astros for 11 hits and seven runs. The A’s outscored the Astros 27-5 over the three games.

Baseball America just released their top-100 re-rankings following the MLB Draft, and Arnold finds himself ranked as the No. 64 overall prospect. The A's top prospect remains Gage Jump, whom they selected out of LSU last year with the 73rd overall pick. Jump is ranked by Baseball America at No. 61 overall.

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz set another team record, tying pitcher Barry Zito with his second straight AL Player of Week win.

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz had one of the greatest games in MLB history on Friday night, going 6-for-6 with four homers and eight RBI in a 15-3 win over the Houston Astros.
