Rooker went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
The top two hitters in the Oakland order, Rooker and Lawrence Butler, accounted for all the team's offense and four of its five hits on the night. Rooker closed the books on a productive August that saw him slash .275/.365/.538 with seven homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs in 24 games, and Saturday's steal was his eighth of the year -- doubling his previous career high set in 2023. The 29-year-old needs just nine more RBI to reach 100 for the first time in his career.
