Happy Friday A’s Nation! With the A’s set to break out of camp and fly back to Oakland after tomorrow's last Spring Training game, a split squad today awaits them against the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox.
In Mesa, A’s Opening Day starter Alex Wood will get the rock to make his fourth and final appearance of the Cactus League. This spring hasn’t been the kindest to Wood; he’s surrendered 12 hits over 11.1 innings and six earned runs. A strong start on Friday, however, could turn the tides for Wood and create some momentum heading into Thursday hopefully.
