The Oakland A’s didn’t score in double-digits again on Saturday, but their relatively measly eight runs were just enough to earn their fifth straight victory in the Cactus League (and sixth straight overall, counting their bout against Team Italy).
Once again, the young hitters were the heroes. Down 7-5 entering the bottom of the 8th, Renato Nunez homered to tie the score, and in the 9th inning Max Schrock notched a walk-off double to win it.
The first half of the game belonged to Ryon Healy, who either drove in or scored the team’s first four runs of the day.
