Brandon Moss went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run on Thursday against the D'Backs.
Moss took Trevor Cahill deep in the third inning. Moss is no stranger to home runs, having hit 30 of them last season. As the club's starting first baseman, he'll attempt to join the 30-homer club again. A more realistic expectation might be 20-25.

Brandon Moss was one of four A's to log a multi-hit game against the Giants on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with two singles.
Moss was one of baseball's breakout stars last year, reaching the 30-homer plateau in just over 500 plate appearances. He seems to have found a home in Oakland, and has started off his 2014 campaign on the right foot against the Giants. Moss will once again get significant playing time at first base and should be among those in or near the 30-homer club at the end of the season.
