Nate Freiman went 2-for-3 with a walk, double, home run, three RBI and two runs scored to help the A's beat Houston 6-2 on Sunday. Freiman was briefly a member of Houston's organization, selected in the second round of this winter's Rule 5 Draft from the Padres. Oakland claimed the massive first baseman off waivers when he failed to make the Astros' Opening Day roster. Freiman has shredded Houston pitching this year, blasting two home runs, collecting six RBI and posting a 1.102 OPS over 13 at-bats. He hasn't been as effective against the rest of the league, but Freiman's .245/.339/.434 slash line is plenty good enough for a rookie Rule 5 selection.
