11 versus 11. Paul Keens Jackson Holiday. Here's
the match up. How did it turn out?
S takes the mound for the first time in a
major league spring training and he will be facing the
number one prospect Jackson Holiday, a bouncing ball to
the right side moving to his left as Nick Gonzalez
second baseman throws on to the now Adley Rutman,
here's the 10 and a drive to right field that
was 99 and Rutman drives it to right reaching back
. Oliveri makes the catch. Heston Kett was the
number two pick overall. He winds and delivers.
It's 101 and it's popped up. Left fielder,
Canon Smith and Jig comes in to make the catch
Paul Skeens face three batters and he is under a
microscope. It is just spring training. It's an
impressive look. Jackson Holiday, a line right field
. That's a fair ball down the right field side
, Joe Perez going to fish it out of that
runner going to be waived and will score and Jackson
Holiday will go to third base with a game tying
triple and the home crowd loves it. Orioles top
prospect in all of baseball just tripled into the right
field corner to make it a 55 game feel good
stuff. I think the biggest thing is just getting
out there pitching in front of people because adrenaline is
a big thing. So, um, yeah,
just kind of wanted to see where we're at and
, yeah, it was nice. I mean,
that, that's kind of just how it goes when
, when you get in games. Um, that's
how it's gonna be all season, hopefully after that
too. So, um, but it was fine
, just got to get used to it. Pretty
satisfied, got some stuff to work on. But
, um, yeah, ready to go. Feel
good. She is a Japanese woman and I don't
really feel comfortable talking about when I got married that
has absolutely nothing to do with the free agency and
she has a great understanding of my profession and she's
willing to be wherever I want to play at.
And ultimately it was up to me. So it
had nothing to do with it. I felt like
it was a good timing because it's before the season
. I didn't want really any distractions once the season
started and I would have liked to announce it earlier
, but just some paperwork issues. That kind of
like the whole process. So that was the whole
deal. Great way to finish tonight for James Paxton
. Four strikeouts, 32 pitches over two innings,
no walks all in, all fairly solid Palo walks
. So the Dodgers were the base runner still without
a hit and here's Mookie Betts coming to the plate
for the third time in the ball game. He's
0 to 2. The RB I total is excellent
as he swings and hits a towering fly ball deep
left field. This ball is gone and the first
hit for the Dodgers tonight is a two run home
run for Mookie Betts and the Dodgers right back in
it. It's 3 to 2. Next one is
lifted high, the air to left back to the
track to the wall and that ball is gone.
That is a home run for lane Thomas right out
of the gate. A bomb off the bat of
Thomas and Kyle Gibson's grapefruit la debut with the Cardinals
ends up with a round tripper, Patrick Corbett who
had three innings gave up three hits, no walks
, four strikeouts for Corbett who threw just 41 pitches
in those three innings. That's a good ratio and
32 of them for strikes come set and the 22
pitch on hit lightly on the ground to second base
. Ker pal up with it over to first but
not in time to get Trey Turner. It's an
infield single for him and our first base runner this
afternoon fires. This ball is hit straight up the
middle that's going to drop for a base hit.
Creon got a pretty good dusty Wham is going to
send him there will be a throw to the plate
. Not in time as he scores standing up.
Nice job by Trey Turner to get his second hit
of the game breaking through are the Phils first nice
piece of hitting Turner. I want to tell you
about what Spencer strider did three innings today in his
second spring training outing no runs allowed by Spencer two
hits, one walk, five strikeouts. Ronald Acuna
looking to make it one, nothing with a base
hit, 22 smacked out towards left center field,
make it one brave cruising into second base, Michael
Harris bat is on fire. Another RB I for
number 23 Michael second RB I of the ball game
as the lineup turns over for forest wall. So
a high fly ball to deep right, going back
as Ramirez to the wall and it's gone three run
home run for Forest Wall. Here's Forest wall.
This one swung on and clubbed to deep left.
Going back to the wall. Palacios looking up and
this ball is gone and have a day. Forest
Wall. It's his second three run home run of
the afternoon. Here is Gavin sheets left handed hitter
with an open. There's a shot down the right
field line at his way back and that is a
no doubt or a long home run for Gavin Sheets
. His first of the spring batter is Gavin Sheets
who had allowed long home run back in the fourth
inning. He's also walked and still in the base
had a good day today and now he's going to
swing and hit it high in the air pretty deep
to right, right fielder going back looking up and
that's a two home run day for Gavin sheets and
the White Sox lead is now 4 to 0.
Nathan Eovaldi with three really strong innings. He allowed
one run, four strikeouts through two innings. He
added another in the third. So five strikeouts through
three. Ezekiel Durand comes up with the tieing run
90 ft away. He swings and whistles one fair
inside the line down the right field side towards the
corner. Jankowski RB I double for Durant Netto had
the green light there 3 to 0. He's not
a guy that likes to walk a whole lot.
He was swinging a ba 3 to 0 and gets
one out the dead center. It's 1 to 0
angels. Mike Trout leads it up. We start
at the bottom of the fourth. There's Trout lining
the ball in the gap that's going to be his
first hit this spring. It's going to go all
the way out to the wall. He'll coast into
second base with a double vintage Mike Trout low ball
line drive, two base hit Lee playing in his
second game of the spring. He debuted on Tuesday
to one a swing and there's a shot out to
deep right center mccarthy going back looking up, it
is gone, Jh Lee in his second spring training
game with the Giants. It's one out a laser
, a solo home run here in the third.
That's it. Well, to left center field at
the Canario back to the wall. It is all
to the Berman gone. Julio Carrera takes it to
left center field to rocks that one to center Canario
back that's gone as well. 3ÂŁ2 ground ball
guy in Korea and the 02 is swung on and
missed strike three who suck goes strikes out. The
first guy that he sees this spring two balls and
two strikes to count set now delivers and a swing
and a miss at a ball in the dirt.
Couple of strikeouts in a scoreless eighth inning in a
Cactus League debut of suck. Go for more on
these and other stories. Keep it locked. Mlb.com
