The Oakland A’s played most of their starting lineup on Sunday in their seventh Cactus League game, and the big bats put on a power display.
The A’s defeated the Cleveland Indians 9-4 in their spring training exhibition contest, on the strength of four homers. Three of them were hit by MLB stars, and the other was an inside-the-parker by a top prospect.
Oakland got going right away. In the 1st inning, Mark Canha led off with a single, and Matt Olson brought him around with his third homer of the spring. Up next was Matt Chapman, and he went yard too, for Matt-to-Matt homers.
