Athletics' Tommy La Stella: Cranks homer

La Stella went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk during Wednesday's win over the Astros in Game 3 of the ALDS.

La Stella hit a solo homer in the first inning off Jose Urquidy. The 31-year-old broke open the game and also singled to help the Athletics rally from a three-run deficit in the seventh inning. The veteran had to leave the game after getting plunked in the wrist in the eighth inning, and his condition is worth monitoring.
