Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs exits loss in third inning

MILWAUKEE -- Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs left his club's 14-1 loss Sunday to the Milwaukee Brewers with soreness in his right hamstring.

Springs came off the mound awkwardly on Sal Frelick's third-inning single to the right side of the infield. He left after Athletics staffers went to the mound to check on him.

The 32-year-old Springs allowed six runs -- four earned -- while striking out three and walking four in 2 innings. The Athletics trailed 6-0 when he left.
