The Highlight
The Oakland Athletics squeaked out a 6-5 win over a San Diego Padres split squad on Sunday. The A’s saw mixed performances from its lineup, but one piece in particular is trying to make a statement that he belongs in the majors.
Outfielder Andrew Lambo slotted in as a DH in Sunday’s game, and he made it count. In the second inning, he got one of only two hits that the A’s could muster against opposing pitcher James Shields. He supplemented this by scoring the game’s first runs with a two-run home run in the fourth inning against Luis Perdomo.
