[ccgeneral 38,084]

@Rick_Sports10: Former TH North star Josh Phegley ended an 0-13 slump today in a big way. The A's catcher had a season-high 3 hits and a RBI in Oakland's 21-2 win over the Angels

Record night for Phegley in a 14-1 win over the Pirates.

@Athletics:
✅First four-hit game of his career
✅Team record eight RBI by a catcher
✅First A's player with eight RBI since 2001

Apparently, Phegley is getting a shot with the Cubbies. Just saw he's in the same lineup as Schwarbs today.

Its only spring training, but this could help make the team.

Terre Haute kid! I hope he makes it, but with them carrying Contreras and Caratini, with Schwarbs as an emergency back up catcher it's going to be a long shot for him. Know he's been with the A's for a few years.

Was Mr Baseball my senior year of HS in '06. I'll always remember him as part of the White Sox trade for Jeff Samardzija. One of those other parts being another IU alum in Marcus Semien. Wish my Sox could have a do-over on that as Marcus has turned into quite the player. Best of luck to Phegley to keep it on topic.
