This was a game where everything went absolutely perfectly for the Athletics, the sweet Spring Training nectar we pray doesn’t lead to a regular season hangover. The pitching was dominant, holding the White Sox to a mere 4 hits and 0 runs across 9 innings. The offense was explosive, batting around the order in back-to-back innings for a combined 13 runs before the White Sox could blink. The defense was solid, with a couple of slick plays by Matt Olson and no errors. This is the game you want on a calm Sunday afternoon.
Jesus Luzardo was extremely impressive in his Spring Training starting pitching debut.
