The Oakland A’s dropped their Cactus League game on Friday, 7-3 to the Angels, due mostly to their bullpen giving up a steady flow of runs. The damage was done against mixture of minor leaguers and backend MLB relievers.
Instead, let’s focus on a few positives.
First on the list is Matt Olson, who went deep off Shohei Ohtani in the 2nd inning for his second homer of the spring. The first baseman is looking for a bounce-back after batting just .195 last year and hitting only one dinger in the season’s final 17 games.
