Zito is well-received, pitches well in Sacramento return

WEST SACRAMENTO, Yolo County — It’s hard for Barry Zito to blend in at the ballpark where he once pitched as a 22-year-old prospect en route to 14 years in the A’s and Giants’ rotations. A jersey bearing his name and signature is featured prominently along the staircase leading to the club level at Raley Field. Despite general apathy from the Triple-A crowd of 7,705 as the starting lineups were announced Tuesday night, Zito received a rousing ovation before his first Northern California start since 2013. The 37-year-old left-hander returned to face Sacramento as a member of the visiting Nashville Sounds, but many fans in attendance sported his signature No.
