Osvaldo Bido

Bido struck out four, but he also walked four in a start where he was fortunate to only give up the two runs -- even if one of them came on an error on a pickoff attempt by Hogan Harris after he left. The right-hander had a solid slider working, however, and he was able to wiggle out of the majority of his jams. Bido is set to square off against the lowly Rockies next weekend, but it's worth pointing out that start is in Colorado.

Springs will make his Athletics debut following Opening Day starter Luis Severino. Osvaldo Bido and JP Sears will toe the rubber for the final two games of the Athletics' season-opening series in Seattle before Joey Estes kicks off a three-game set against the Cubs.

The 29-year-old right-hander racked up three strikeouts on the afternoon and didn't walk a batter. The overall results on the spring weren't pretty -- posting a 7.02 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and an 18/5 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings -- but at least he was able to finish it on a high note. Let's see if he can carry that over to the regular season.

The Athletics have finalized their season-opening rotation, reports Mart n Gallegos of MLB.com.

Mitch Spence will pitch out of the bullpen, at least to start the season. There was never much doubt…
