The A’s wrapped up their 2024 Spring Training campaign with a 3-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday at Oracle Park to split the annual preseason Bay Bridge Series, 1-1. The A’s finish Spring Training going 14-14-2 but more importantly, regular season baseball is now on deck.
For the Giants, Tuesday turned into a bullpen game in just the top of the second inning. Nick Allen roped a 103 mph line drive off the back of the throwing arm of Giants starter Spencer Howard, and he was removed immediately. Howard looked alright in the long run but with the regular season just around the corner, San Francisco wouldn’t take the risk.
