MESA, Ariz. -- Jesse Hahn's arm looked better than his glove, which deflected a comebacker that led to two runs in the A's right-hander's Cactus League debut against the defending World Series champion Cubs on Saturday.
Hahn, competing for the last rotation spot, was tagged for three runs in Oakland's 4-3 loss, scattering four hits in 1 2/3 innings in Oakland's spring opener. He struck out two and walked one.
Hahn sported a three-pitch mix, showing his changeup to go along with his fastball and curveball while navigating a Cubs lineup bursting with regulars amid a frenzied crowd that got a glimpse of the World Series trophy before the game.
