OAKLAND — After collecting hits and runs by the bunches for much of the Cactus League schedule, the A’s wobbled to the spring training finish line as an offense.
They scored just four runs total in getting swept by the Giants in the Bay Bridge Series, capped by Saturday’s 6-3 loss in which No. 4 starter Andrew Triggs looked shaky for the second outing in a row. Not that the annual exhibition series is ever an indicator of what’s to come in the regular season, but A’s manager Bob Melvin would have liked a better showing against the rival club.
