(AP) — World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner was roughed up in his exhibition debut, and Marcus Semien hit a pair of home runs as the Oakland Athletics opened their new spring training home by beating the champion San Francisco Giants 9-4 Tuesday. Bumgarner gave up four runs in 1 2-3 innings, allowing Semien's two-run shot in the first. The tall lefty was tagged for five hits and struck out two. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum also pitched for the Giants, allowing a run and one hit in one inning. Even though Bumgarner said he wasn't too worried about results, his competitive nature showed. Brad Mills, a Mesa native, pitched in his hometown stadium for the first time in 12 years and had his parents, wife, kids and best friends in the stands. Giants: RHP Jake Peavey, who was 6-4 with a 2.17 ERA in 12 starts down the stretch last year for San Francisco, will make his first spring training start for the Giants on Wednesday against the A's in Scottsdale, Arizona. Athletics: RHP Jesse Chavez, who set career highs in starts (21) and innings pitched (146) last year, takes the mound against the Giants on Wednesday.
