Home sweet homer: Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke’s 1st major league HR comes in his native Toronto
@Source: torontosun.com
Oakland was down 4-3 in the top of the second Saturday when Clarke, batting No. 9 in the order, stepped to the plate against Braydon Fisher with a man on base and one out. Clarke hammered Fisher’s first pitch 406 feet into the left-field seats for a 5-4 lead.
Clarke, the cousin of Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor and Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor, played college baseball at Cal State Northridge and was a fourth-round draft pick of the Athletics in 2021.
He was playing at triple-A Las Vegas when he was called up to the majors on May 23.
