The Athletics showcased their potential with a commanding 12-1 victory, highlighted by Shea Langeliers' electrifying three-homer performance that has him cruising toward Opening Day. With pitching coach Scott Emerson and promising players like Jacob Lopez and Denzel Clarke in the mix, the A's are hunting for a blend of power and reliability as they aim to return to contention this season.
