The Oakland Athletics lost 5-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers in the much advertised yet completely untelevised Las Vegas Big League Weekend opener. It was their second loss of the day to the Brew Crew after losing their afternoon game in Arizona.
The game wasn’t without bright spots however, with Miguel Andujar continuing his power surge in what he hopes will be his comeback season. Accounting for all of Oakland’s runs, the strong righty clobbered a pair of two-run homers, one in the bottom of the 1st and another in the 8th. His starting spot in the Opening Day lineup is getting more and more secure as he reminds the league of his skills.
