Ho-hum. On a day where the A's pitched mostly non-roster invitees– superstars such as Eric Surkamp, Ryan Brasier, Chris Smith and Corey Walter – they ended up pitching poorly. Not really a surprise. The A's drop to a 3-3 record in the early going of the Cactus League.
In an otherwise pretty unremarkable game, Dillon Overton is the easy story to talk about. His two innings were by far the most effective of the afternoon, resulting in five strikeouts and only allowing two hits. A few reports have said that his velocity was around the 88-90 range, which is just about as expected.
