Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes played in the outfield for the first time in more than a week Friday, and his return to the field seemed to spark him. Batting just .162 with no home runs in his previous 10 games, Cespedes broke out with his third multi-home run game of June.
Cespedes bookended the game with two-run home runs, one in the first inning and another in the ninth. He went hitless between those shots, finishing the game 2 for 4 with a strikeout and four RBI, in a 6-3 win.
Cespedes has six home runs in the month of June, all of them coming as part of two-homer games. He has 15 home runs and 40 RBI on the season in 236 at-bats. Cespedes is hitting .233 with a .781 OPS on the year.
