Matt Olson blasts 14th home of the year in Friday's win

Matt Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and three strikeouts as the A's blanked the Giants 6-0 on Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Olson whiffed in his other three at-bats but the dinger, his 14th of the year, did more than enough damage. It's been a wacky year for the first baseman, who's been a disappointment in the averages department, slashing just .191/.308/.454 across 183 at-bats with an unlucky .200 BABIP. But he's made his hits count with a team-leading 14 home runs and 41 RBI, which is good for seventh best in all of baseball.
