EDGE Analysis

Murphy didn't take part in the Athletics' four-homer parade, but he did his part with a timely sixth-inning two-bagger that plated Ramon Laureano and Chad Pinder to snap a 1-1 tie. The talented backstop has been showing signs of life at the plate lately after a tough start to the season, going 6-for-17 with four doubles, four RBI, a walk and a run over his last five games.
