The Athletics faced the Milwaukee Brewers today at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa. With only two spring training games remaining after today, this was the final tune up for Jeffrey Springs, one of the team’s big trade acquisitions this off-season. Springs matched up against journeyman lefty Jose Quintana.
Springs worked hard in the first, giving up a double to Christian Yelich and a walk to Rhys Hoskins but struck out two. But he threw twenty-eight pitches in the inning. He had an easier inning in the second, striking out two more while giving up just an infield hit.
