Before Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes arrived in MLB, his highlight video made the rounds, showing the outfielder hitting homers, lifting weights and, oddly enough, standing beside a pig roasting on a spit.
Baseball fans got to see the real thing on Thursday night, except this time, Seattle Mariners reliever Shawn Kelley was the one who got cooked.
Cespedes gave the Oakland Athletics the lead with a towering two-run home run in the seventh inning and teammate Josh Reddick added a solo shot in the next at-bat to back a strong outing from Bartolo Colon in Oakland's 4-1 win on Thursday at Tokyo Dome.
