The Athletics rallied back late in a big way on Thursday afternoon, scoring 11 runs in the top of the ninth to take the lead for good against the Cincinnati Reds.
It was a battle of left-handers as JP Sears took on Reds’ starter Nick Lodolo. Both starters were on their A-game today in what could be their second-to-last start before the regular season begins. Neither team scored a run over the first five frames as offense was at a premium in today’s contest. At least, early on.
Sears pitched five and a third strong innings in his best and longest outing this spring.
