Former Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien is hopeful he left a positive impact on the East Bay community during his Oakland tenure.
With two outs and none on in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, Taveras singled off Andres Munoz, stole second base and then scored on a Marcus Semien single. Before that, he homered off JT Chargois in the seventh inning to tie the game at 5-5. It probably rates as his best game in a rather disappointing 2024 season. He's batting .231/.290/.359 in 510 plate appearances.
