The Los Angeles Dodgers' Chris Capuano pitches against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday in Glendale, Ariz.GLENDALE, Ariz. — Chris Capuano pitched two scoreless innings, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
Capuano was pleased with his first spring outing.
“I felt pretty good throwing the ball,” he said. “I thought I had pretty decent stuff. I thought it was a good first outing.”
“The first inning I had some jitters,” he said. “I think I crossed my poor catcher Tim (Federowicz) a couple times.
“He came out and apologized to me, but I told him I was actually messing up the signs and not to worry about it. The second inning, I felt much more relaxed and under control throwing the ball.”
Also for the Dodgers, Alex Castellanos hit a solo homer, Adam Kennedy went 2 for 2, and Mark Ellis and Andre Ethier both drove in a pair of runs.
