They came out on top tonight against the Chicago Cubs by a 6-2 final, taking the win and putting their meaningless spring record at 13-15.

Lots of good signs from tonight, and we can still finish spring with a . 500 record! It was Luis Severino on the bump tonight for the Athletics as he made his final exhibition start before his Opening Day assignment next week.

Looking to put in his work and look sharp doing it, Sevy collected a quick punchout in the first but also missed with a fastball down the middle to Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya that the backstop deposited over the left field fence for a home run. Quick 1-0 lead for the Cubbies. Things went quiet for the next few innings as both teams traded zeros.

Cubs starter Jameson Taillon looked strong over the first four innings tonight, allowing just a few singles while punching out six A’s through the first four innings. With Taillon on a roll, Max Muncy strode to the plate to lead off the top of the fourth and connected on a 1-0 fastball high and hit it over the wall in left field to tie this game at 1-1: Max Muncy gets the A's on the board 💥 pic. twitter.
