MLB Note - Oakland Athletics Powell, Boog

Aug 22, 2017 - 6:54 AM CF Boog Powell batted in the No. 9 spot and hit his first career homer in the eighth off RHP Brad Brach, a solo blast. Powell also will have an interesting day on Tuesday when he meets namesake and Oriole legend Boog Powell at the latter's barbecue spot at Camden Yards. "I was just trying to put the ball in play," Powell said of the homer. "Just dropped my hands down a little more, and the next thing you know, it went out. It didn't seem real."
