OAKLAND – The A’s game plan for the 2017 season kicked right in Monday in a 4-2 win over the Angels.
And it worked.
The plan is simple. Get decent starting pitching, score enough to own a lead after six innings, then turn the game over to the bullpen, the deepest and most veteran part of a relatively young club.
Kendall Graveman did his part, touched for a two-run Mike Trout but nothing else while the A’s got solo homers from Stephen Vogt and Khris Davis to go with a an RBI single from Yonder Alonso.
