Brewers Blank A's 10-0 to Deliver Oakland a Fourth Straight Spring Loss
The shutout leaves Oakland 0-4 in Cactus League play with four total runs, still seeking their first home run.
Overview
- Tyler Black went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, a rare three-run single and an RBI double for six runs batted in, finishing a triple shy of the cycle.
- Milwaukee’s staff stacked nine scoreless innings, with Rob Zastryzny setting the tone and Coleman Crow flashing high-spin breaking stuff in an efficient inning.
- Mason Barnett’s spring debut for Oakland lasted two innings (3 hits, 2 runs, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts), highlighted by a 14-pitch walk to Brice Turang before the bullpen unraveled.
- Oakland managed only five singles and has been outscored 33-4 through four games, continuing a trend of piling up base runners without converting chances.
- Left-handed reliever Matt Krook exited with an apparent injury, adding to early bullpen depth concerns as the A’s take a day off before resuming play against the Rangers.
