Oakland Athletics' surprising spark Tyler Nevin showing bloodlines matter as emerging talent

It was another day of the grind for Tyler Nevin, further validating what he heard from his father the day he was drafted nine years ago. The good news was Nevin hit his fourth homer in a month since joining the Athletics and later had an infield single to extend his hitting streak to nine games in 3-0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday at the Coliseum. The bad news was Nevin had a pair of throwing errors from third base, neither of which wound up costing the A's.
