RELATED: Jacob Blake protest: Crowds yell 'burn it down' while lighting fires, breaking windows in Oakland, police say
This comes following the example of other teams protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin in recent days.
The teams took the field at Minute Maid Park in Texas, held a moment of silence and exited.
This happens to fall on the day known as Jackie Robinson Day.
A's manager Bob Melvin says his view on the baseball holiday was different today than in past years.
