Bangkok Post
|April 02, 2025
WEST SACRAMENTO: Michael Busch christened Sutter Health Park as a major league stadium with a first-inning home run, Carson Kelly hit an eye-opener, and the Chicago Cubs spoiled the Athletics' debut at their new home, West Sacramento, California, with an 18-3 shellacking on Monday.

Kelly drove in five runs, Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson and Kyle Tucker (both of whom also homered) three apiece for the Cubs. Chicago banged out 21 hits, including 11 for extra-bases. Kelly became just the 17th catcher in major league history to hit for the cycle and the first since J.T. Realmuto in June of 2023.
Making his first start of the season, Ben Brown (1-1) benefitted from the big-time offensive support to get the win, limiting the A's to one run and six hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out five. Nico Hoerner (3-for-4), Suzuki (2-for-5) and Pete Crow-Armstrong (2-for-5) also collected multiple hits for the Cubs.
