In what is undoubtably a preview of October, the A’s won the first game of their spring stint with a late inning victory over the Giants. An eighth inning rally put the green and gold over the top as Adam Rosales worked a bases loaded walk to give the A’s a 5-4 lead and the win, in what was an overall team-wide effort against their longtime rivals.
Two of the five projected starters in the A’s rotation got the nod to pitch today, as the rippling effect from Sonny Gray dropping out of the World Baseball Classic continued into today’s game.
