CF Luis Barrera sparked the A's offense going 2-for-3 with three runs scored, an RBI, stolen base, and walk while 1B Frank Schwindel broke the game open with a seventh-inning, three-run home run to left field. For Schwindel, it's his third home run in seven scrimmages at Sutter Health Park.

San Francisco 3B Jason Krizan went yard for the second straight game, launching a solo shot to straightaway center field off RHP Parker Dunshee. He also lined a single into right field in his next plate appearance.

RHP Dominic Leone continued to shine on the mound as the former Seattle Mariners draft pick struck out two in a scoreless fifth inning. He now has eight strikeouts in his last 12 batters faced.

Giants' No. 13 prospect on MLB Pipeline RHP Gregory Santos hit 101 MPH in his perfect, two-strikeout sixth inning.
