The Oakland Athletics defeated the Kansas City Royals in their first game back from Big League Weekend in Las Vegas. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that is; it’s not worth your time and it clearly wasn’t worth the time of enough Vegas locals to sell out a 10,000 seat stadium.
After dropping both split-squad Vegas games, the A’s got themselves back to .500 in Spring Training with a offense-driven victory. The headliner was Oakland newbie Abraham Toro, who drove in four of the A’s six runs. The first came from a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 2nd inning.
