The A's, meanwhile, seek their first spring victory, despite out-hitting the Angels, 6-5. Outfielder Alejandro De Aza tripled and scored on Mark Canha's ensuing double in the third, and catcher Ryan Lavarnway doubled and was brought home on outfielder Jaycob Brugman's single in the seventh. Top prospect Franklin Barreto finished with two hits.
Right-hander Bud Norris, competing for the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation after signing on as a free agent last month, struck out two and issued one free pass in 1 2/3 innings in his first spring start.
