A's Face Reds: J.T. Ginn Starts Spring Training Action

Oakland Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn is set to make the start against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon. Ginn impressed in his spring debut against the San Francisco Giants, tossing two perfect innings with three strikeouts. The A's are seeking a turnaround after a rough 1-6 start to the preseason. With the regular season approaching, Oakland is evaluating Ginn for a spot in the rotation or bullpen.

Third baseman Max Muncy is off to a hot spring, recording four hits in ten at-bats. The lineup features power threat Nick Kurtz batting behind leadoff hitter Jacob Wilson. Meanwhile, the Reds counter with left-hander Andrew Abbott. Cincinnati has several regulars in the lineup, providing a solid test for Ginn and the pitching staff.
