SAN FRANCISCO -- Chris Stratton pitched four-hit ball over five innings to lift the San Francisco Giants over the Oakland Athletics 3-0 in the finale of the three-game Bay Bridge exhibition series Tuesday night.
A 5-2-3 double play helped Stratton escape a bases-loaded, no-outs situation in the first inning. The 27-year-old right-hander settled down nicely after that, facing one batter over the minimum over the next 4 1/3 innings.
Giants relievers Josh Osich, Cory Gearrin, Sam Dyson, Pierce Johnson and Derek Law combined for four innings of two-hit ball.
