Jeffrey Springs pitched two-run ball for five innings Friday against the Mariners.

Springs struck out only one, but that was good enough, and the A’s again beat the Mariners, though unlike last Saturday, Springs didn’t get the win this time. Springs has a 2.29 ERA in three starts against the Mariners this year and a 6.48 ERA in 24 starts versus everyone else. He is lined up to make his next start Thursday against the Rays.
