SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Jesse Hahn had his first bad day of the spring Sunday, enduring a seven-run stinker against the host Rockies at Salt River Fields, where he scattered eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.
The performance marred an otherwise encouraging Cactus League season for the right-hander, who is considered a favorite to snag one of two open rotation jobs. Before Sunday, Hahn had allowed three runs in his previous 11 2/3 innings -- all coming in his first start against the Cubs on Feb. 25.
"Look, to an extent, everybody is going to have some struggles in Spring Training," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
