OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland A’s outfielder Brent Rooker was named American League Player of the Week, as announced today on MLB Network.

Rooker went 7-for-16 (.438) with six runs scored, a double, three home runs, four walks, a stolen base and seven RBI to combine for a .550 on-base percentage and a 1.063 slugging percentage across five games from April 29-May 5. Entering today, he is tied for seventh among Major League hitters in home runs on the season (8) and is tied for 14th in the American League in RBI (20). On Saturday, Rooker connected for two home runs in one inning against Miami, joining Mark McGwire (Sept. 22, 1996 at Seattle) as the only players in A’s history to hit two homers in a single inning and becoming the first Athletic since McGwire to collect five RBI in an inning.

Rooker is the first Athletic to win AL Player of the Week honors since he won the award last season for the week ending April 30.
