Jackie Bradley Jr. followed up his grand-slam performance Monday by showing off his cannon arm Tuesday.

On a second-inning single by the Athletics’ Chris Coghlan with Billy Butler on second base, Bradley fielded the base hit and unloaded a cannon throw to catcher Ryan Hannigan.
Though Bradley’s throw was a few feet to the first-base side of the plate, it was so early that Hannigan had time to dive back in front of the plate and tag out the sliding Butler.
That 💪 though! @JackieBradleyJr does it all. https://t.co/NKBmixWvQm pic.twitter.com/bvqhc2371k

The good night, however, did not end there for Bradley.
In the fifth inning, he hit a single to extend his career-high hit streak to 16 games, which is currently the longest active streak in the league.
