A’s fall to the Cubs in Mesa 4-2

While the baseball world is still abuzz from the incredible World Baseball Classic (WBC) Championship game last night, our A’s were back in action at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa to take on the Chicago Cubs. James Kaprielian took the mound after an impressive start Friday against the Giants.

The Cubs jumped out in front in the first on free agent acquisition Cody Bellinger’s solo homer to right field. Both teams were frustrated early on by double play balls; three in the first two innings.

Jesus Aguilar tied the score in the bottom of the fourth with a majestic homer to left field.
