The hard-throwing right-hander tossed five scoreless innings in the exhibition game without surrendering a hit, striking out 10 and walking just one A's batter.
Hicks' velocity -- which he has toned down in his new role -- was on full display in the Giants' win, like when A's catcher Shea Langeliers struck out on three consecutive 97-mph sinkers, or the 98.7-mph four-seam fastball outfielder JJ Bleday was just able to foul off in the fourth inning.
