Athletics' Jacob Wilson Hits Two Homers in 11-1 Win Over Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to a 9-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics, powered by home runs from Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages, Hyeseong Kim, and Max Muncy. Despite the Dodgers' comeback, Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson had a standout performance in his Dodger Stadium debut, hitting two two-run homers and driving in four runs in an 11-1 rout of the Dodgers the previous day. Wilson, who grew up near Los Angeles and is the son of former All-Star Jack Wilson, has been impressing with a .363 batting average and multiple multi-hit games early in his career. Athletics manager Mark Kotsay praised Wilson's maturity and approach at the plate, noting his quick adaptation to the major leagues. Wilson's hot streak has earned him the leadoff spot recently, and he continues to lead American League rookies in several offensive categories. The contrasting games highlight both the Dodgers' power rally and the emergence of Wilson as a key player for the Athletics.
