MESA, Ariz. —
The Dodgers opened their Cactus League schedule Sunday with 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics in seven innings.
ON THE MOUND: Veteran left-hander Mike Kickham, a non-roster invite, was the first of six Dodgers pitchers used Sunday. The 32-year-old Kickham tossed two scoreless innings. Edwin Uceta, Dennis Santana, Garrett Cleavinger, Andre Jackson and Michael Grove followed with an inning each. The Athletics’ only run — scored in the fifth inning — was unearned against Cleavinger.
AT THE PLATE: Matt Davidson, another veteran non-roster invite, slugged a go-ahead solo home run in the seventh inning.
