And Cespedes threw out Kole Calhoun later in the inning in a similar fashion. The play can be viewed here.
Apparently, it has been a long time since an A's player has accomplished the feat.
Yoenis Cespedes is the first #Athletics outfielder with two assists in an inning since Matt Stairs on April 16, 1996.
