Brent Rooker Homers Twice, Drives in Six in Win Over Astros
Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker had a day on Sunday in the 12-10 win over the visiting Houston Astros. Rooker was a beast at the plate in the series finale, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, six RBI, one walk, and one strikeout. It was nice to see from Rooker's fantasy managers, as he came into Sunday's Easter contest 4-for-30 with an RBI, three walks, and 14 strikeouts to start the 2026 season. He had a two-run and three-run homer while also adding a sacrifice fly. Rooker's three-run shot was the game-winner in the bottom of the 10th inning. Fantasy managers are hoping that the big performance on Sunday will lead to more production from the 31-year-old veteran right-handed slugger. Rooker was an All-Star for the second time in his career in 2025, when he hit .262/.335/.479 with an .814 OPS, 30 home runs, 89 RBI, 92 runs, and six steals in 162 games played. He has at least 30 homers in each of the last three years, providing plenty of pop in a hitter-friendly home ballpark for fantasy managers.
