A couple of home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers led to a 4-2 win over the visiting Oakland Athletics at Camelback Ranch on Sunday afternoon.
James Outman's solo home run in the second inning gave the Dodgers an early lead and a fourth-inning two-run shot from Max Muncy made it 3-0.
An RBI single from Travis Swaggerty in the sixth pushed the lead to 4-0, and then Oakland got two runs back in the seventh.
Dodger pitching outside of the sixth inning shut down the A's offense.
Kyle Hurt allowed one hit and one walk in his first start, and Evan Phillips earned the win with a solid second inning.
However, Ryan Brasier was the most impressive. He struck out the side in his first Cactus League inning this spring.
Here are some highlights from Sunday's game:

Got to see the HUGE high riding fastball AND the DIRTY changeup. Again, when he commands the zone, he gets outs, against anyone at any level. Can't wait to see how the Dodgers use Hurt this year. #Dodgers pic.twitter.com/wMthCBTFY6

The Cutter, Ryan Brasier was back at it today, and looked great in Dodger Blue. Big re-sign (2 year deal), and looks to be an integral part of, hopefully, a dominant bullpen. Struck out the side in his 1 inning. #dodgers pic.twitter.com/t8xbCMk7hC
