The entire infield ran to the mound to congratulate Jharel Cotton on a memorable major league debut Wednesday, and he showed the last-place Oakland Athletics a glimpse of a promising future when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1. Eibner hit an RBI double and Yonder Alonso and Max Muncy added run-scoring singles to back Cotton. After catcher Stephen Vogt offered an embrace and teammates followed, Cotton jogged off the mound in the seventh and stopped to tip his cap for the sparse crowd on an unseasonably warm September afternoon.
