Spring Training Game Wrap: A's 9 Giants 3

The A's turned a close game into a route with 5 runs in the 9'th inning.  Game Notes:

Conner Menez LHP got the start after Johnny Cueto RHP was transitioned to a simulated game.   Menez pitched two scoreless frames and finishes his Cactus League campaign with a 2.70 ERA.  He won't start the season on the active roster, but keep him in mind as needs will inevitably arise.  Menez is versatile and could fill in as a starter, long or middle reliever.  

Heliot Ramos PH/RF doubled in one plate appearance to raise his BA to .417.  6 of his 15 hits went for XBH with 3 doubles and 3 HR's.  He raked from the beginning of spring to the end and was awarded the Barney Nugent Award for the top newcomer to spring training.  Gotta think we'll see Heliot in a Giants uniform in Oracle Park before the season is over and we should all be excited as heck about that!

Mike Yastrzemski RF hit his 4'th HR of the spring, a solo shot in the 5'th inning.  His spring BA is .308 and he looks poised for an All-Star caliber season.

Logan Webb RHP make the final Cactus League start tomorrow against the A's.  He has had a tremendous spring and is set to start the 3'rd game of the season in Seattle on Saturday, April 3.
