Athletics first baseman Max Muncy went 1 for 4 at the plate in Oakland's 7-3 loss to the White Sox on Sunday.
Muncy did his damage in the fourth inning when he crushed an 0-2 pitch from Jeff Samardzija over the center field wall for a two-run shot, the first of his career.
"It's probably still sitting out there beyond the wall right now," Muncy said to MLB.com.
Muncy is now hitting .227 with three RBI in 22 at-bats this season.
"It probably does set me up nicely," Muncy said. "Obviously, I want to be playing. But I hate to see people go down, especially people like Ike who I have lot of respect for."
