The Athletics have gotten off to a slow start this season, but outfielder Yoenis Cespedes tried to kick start things Tuesday against the Mariners.
Cespedes slugged his first home run of the season, a deep shot to center field off Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma in the second inning. That was his lone positive contribution, as he finished 1 for 4 with three strikeouts. Cespedes is just 1 for 8 this season.
