Athletics' Skye Bolt: Walks, scores in first majors start

Bolt went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Mariners on Sunday.

The 25-year-old rookie drew his first major-league start after logging his first three appearances with the Athletics earlier in the season as an in-game replacement. Bolt is up with the big-league club as a result of Khris Davis' current injured-list stint due to hip and oblique issues. Bolt was slashing an impressive .311/.379/.571 with 17 extra-base hits (nine doubles, two triples, six home runs) and 30 RBI with Triple-A Las Vegas in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League before his promotion.
