The Athletics started off their split squad games today with a loss against the Milwaukee Brewers, losing by a final of 7-4.
Oakland got the scoring started right away, loading the bases with no outs in the top of the first. A groundout brought in one run and an RBI single off the bat of Abraham Toro brought in the second. You’d usually like more than just two runs when you load the bases with no outs but it’s better than nothing.
Veteran righty Ross Stripling got the ball to start this afternoon’s contest, making his second start of the spring.
