TEMPE, Ariz. -- The A's dipped into the Minors for a starter Tuesday, electing right-hander Logan Shore -- their second-round Draft pick last year -- to handle a star-studded Angels lineup.
Shore managed just fine, striking out two batters in the opening frame, including Mike Trout, and three overall in a four-inning outing. He allowed just one run on two hits in the A's 14-3 loss.
"That was pretty fun," Shore said. "I'm extremely fortunate to have that opportunity. I know it's Spring Training, but that's kind of something you always dream of, is getting a start there in a big league game, especially to face that lineup with some of the best guys in baseball.
