Manny-less A's Tie Dodgers 3-3
PHOENIX (AP) -- Tyson Ross threw three strong innings and Josh Reddick drove in two runs for the Oakland Athletics in a 3-all tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
The game was stopped after 9 innings.
Ross, who started six games for Oakland last season, allowed one hit and a walk. He struck out two.
Dodgers starter Aaron Harang allowed two runs on four consecutive hits in the first.
Non-roster outfielder Cory Sullivan had three hits for Los Angeles.
A's designated hitter Manny Ramirez was scratched about 20 minutes before the first pitch with soreness in his back. The 39-year-old slugger is 0 for 5 to start the spring, and had been getting some extra at-bats during a simulated game.
