It doesn’t feel like it’s been over a week since the Oakland Athletics have won a game, and yet that’s where things stood until today. Thanks to another promising outing from Shintaro Fujinami and a great game from utilityman Aledmys Diaz, the A’s got back in the win column against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Following a debut where he went to toe-to-toe with arguably the best player in the world, Shohei Ohtani, the pressure was on to see if Fuji would continue dealing or if cracks in his game would start to show. So far, it’s been the former as the Japanese native delivered another strong Spring Training start, throwing another 3 innings of 1-hit ball.
