If Sunday afternoon was any indication, the public has Mike Fiers’ back.
In the A’s right-hander’s first appearance of spring training and first time toeing the rubber since blowing the whistle on the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, Fiers was cheered by the fans when he took the field against the Giants at Hohokam Park.

On the mound, Fiers worked two efficient innings. He threw 19 pitches (12 strikes) and retired all six batters he faced.
Fiers might face a different reaction when it’s not a spring training game, but for now, it appears the fans are glad Fiers outed the Astros.
