The Oakland A’s lost their Cactus League exhibition on Tuesday, by the score of 12-3 to the Arizona D’Backs.
The game wasn’t devoid of positive highlights, especially in the power department for the lineup. On the pitching side, most of the damage was concentrated among just a couple Oakland hurlers.
First the good news. Jed Lowrie played his fifth game of the spring, and he finally collected his first hit. It wasn’t cheap, either, as he got all of one against Madison Bumgarner and hit it out for a homer, with 98.5 mph exit velocity.
