From CBS Sports.com..... Bankston hits first career homer: Wes Bankston hit his first career home run, and the Oakland Athletics ended an eight-game home losing skid to the Seattle Mariners with a 4-3 win on Monday night. Bankston, called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday when the A's placed shortstop Bobby Crosby on the disabled list, hit a two-run home run off Seattle starter Jarrod Washburn in the fifth inning as Oakland rallied for the win. Bankston also doubled and scored in the second, raising his average to .391 since being promoted to the majors

It was a bomb to the seats in LCF, more toward CF at Oakland Coliseum.
