A's Nick Kurtz Has Historic Game [View all]

Guy went 6 for 6, with four homeruns, a double (that was a couple feet from being a 5th homer & would have been in 6 of the 30 ballparks) and a single, for 19 total bases. 6 runs scored, 8 RBI. That's a decent week in MLB!
He's a 22 year old rookie. He was having a good rookie year, but last night was special.
