Sean Murphy clobbered a baseball and sent it directly through the window of a suite in center field, an impressive drive the Oakland Athletics hope will provide some much-needed momentum to start the second half.

Crazy thing, manager Mark Kotsay even had a suite in that very area - "I might have had the one next to it," he noted - while a player for the A's back in 2006.

Murphy's three-run homer highlighted Oakland's five-run sixth inning that broke up a scoreless game and the A's beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0 on Thursday to split a doubleheader.
