The steal was Bolte's 20th of the season. He has played well in September, going 13-for-39 (.333) at the plate with four home runs, six steals and seven RBI over 10 games this month. Overall, he's hitting .276 with a .757 OPS, 10 homers, 33 RBI, 48 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 105 contests as a rookie.

The rookie outfielder took Michael Lorenzen deep in the third inning to get the A's on the board, and it turned out to be the only offense his pitching staff would need. Bolte is surging to close out the season, with four of his 10 homers in the majors coming in the last eight games -- a stretch in which he's batting .379 (11-for-29) with a double, five steals, seven RBI and eight runs.
