MARYVALE, Ariz. — A.J. Puk is doing his best to make life extremely difficult for the A’s front office.
Continuing to look like the best pitcher on the roster this spring, Puk dominated again by turning in three scoreless innings, allowing three hits with two strikeouts and two walks in a 2-0 win over the Brewers.
At the point in spring where starting pitchers get their own day to start, Puk has earned one of those days for himself despite as of now not being a part of the expected starting rotation that will begin the season.
