Back with Athletics, Kurt Suzuki greets the home fans with go-ahead, 3-run HR in win over Rays

OAKLAND, Calif. — Kurt Suzuki couldn’t have scripted his return to the Oakland Coliseum any better.

A longtime fan favorite for the Athletics, he greeted his old supporters with a three-run homer in his first home game back with the club since being traded away last August, and Jed Lowrie hit a go-ahead double in the eighth inning of a 4-3 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.

“It was pretty special,” Suzuki said. “It’s awesome. Just being around the guys, I’ve played with the majority of the guys in this locker room last year or years before. It just seems like I never left.”
