Schwarber and Kirk chuckling a little bit and all sorts of the zone. That is a good challenge
from Alejandro Kirk and the first strikeout for Dylan Sea in Blue Jays Blue. Swing and a
miss, he punches out Harper right after getting Schwarber 2 down, especially with 2
strikes after kind of throwing some stuff down and in foul tip, strike 3 on a check swing. You
got him on a 98 mile an hour fastball. There is the 3rd strikeout for Dylan Sea already. Get.
Used to that and a fastball into the air, center field again. Marshall going back,
looking up, and that ball is wow. It clears the stands behind the 400
ft sign. Brian de la Cruz threw it up in the jet stream, and I mean he hammered that.

two-time MVP. Bryce Harper gives the Phillies the lead back. Well, Tobias Myers, you
mentioned before, uh, came in to trade with Freddie Peralta from Milwaukee. The 2-2 to
Nunez, and a miss, strike 3, and Tobias Myers starts off his afternoon with a strikeout. The
Nationals really don't have an opening day starter. Jake Urban certainly will be a
candidate. If he's got his good breaking ball. He's a tough pitcher, and he gets Simeon
swinging for the first out. Bechette strikes out to end the inning, so 2 strikeouts for Jake
Irvin in the bottom half of the 1st. That house. Strikes out swinging, so didn't go down
looking but goes down swinging for the second strikeout, the 02. Swung and a miss, strike 3.
So it was a strike, 2 and 2 to Lyle, and he swings and misses for strike 3.
And there's the strikeout on the breaking ball . Thought he held up
but did not. Gets rung up. Pento's fly ball deep right
field at the track. And it's off the mint of the right fielder,
Rodgers, so Mark Vientos has an RBI double, his first hit of spring, and the Mets are on
the board. Good feeling for Vientos to finish his day with that, get rewarded for the hard
contact. Later next month, Rodgers games start to count and one of the guys pitching at or
around opening day will be Kyle Braddish. And that was a nasty curveball to strike out Brett
Weisley. Swing and a miss, he got it. Not messing around. Another punch out for Braddish,
he has 3. He got it. Op number 2 in the top of the second. Spencer Strider ready to work.
Here's the pitch on the way. 2-2 in for a called third strike. Good looking breaking ball
by the inside corner. 2-2 to Tavares, got him chasing good breaking ball down and away, and
Strider bookends the second with strikeouts. Did he go? Yes, he did. Another strikeout for
Braddish. Might try to get out to the beach, out the, the weather's weather's a little
better. You want to call this Adley bomb. Ruchman Aie Rushman with the, there we go,
halfway in the cycle. Actually a double left-handed, a homer right-handed. And he gets
into this one to left field. That is. Other honeycomb. That is
way out, 3 at bats and 3 home runs for Vance Honeycutt in the springtime.

board first. It's 1 to 0. Here's Wells. Yankee starters getting 3
at-bats into this afternoon. And it's hit high in the air. This
one's taking it for the bleachers. Austin Wells going yard with a two-run shot. Yankees
double up their lead. It's 4-0. I think Albert Pujols would love to see Wells do that for the
DR in the WBC. So 1 down and a man on 3 for Jan Durant.
drives this one back towards the right center field triangle.
Durant homers for the 2nd straight day, a 2-run shot and a 2-0 lead for the Sox.
The 1-0 from Bradley, that's a ground ball through the hole and an RBI single for Roman
Anthony and the Red Sox cut the lead to 1. He's kind of got star written all over himself.
Yeah, he can do that. I'm not trying that. There's a fly ball from Jaron Durant back
towards center field and it is. Wow, 2nd home run of the game,
3rd in 2 days for Jaron Durant. After today, including the final game of spring training,
3-1 lined into left field to Rosa Rain, a little bit of a false step. Now he dives to his
left, can't make the catch, and it gets past him, goes all the way to the base of the wall.
Cronaworth and Sola both score. Xander walking into second base. Two-run double. Yeah,
Rosarena kind of started towards the line and it was, uh oh, I gotta go the other way and no
chance even with the dive. Merrill after the first pitch, a towering drive to left center.
Rosarena is at the wall. He'll look and it's gonna go a moonshot the other way for Jackson

the first guy that he faces, 1 down in the 5th . 3-2 to wisdom, swung on and missed, blew the
gas right on past him, 102 from Mason Miller. Back to back K's, 2 on and 2 out now. Back to
the top and the Cruz will get a 3rd at bat today. swing and a deep fly ball down the right
field line. Cruz has hit one out of here, right down the line, a 3 run shot for

wall, looking up, gone home run. Isa Perees in his first spring

appearances, he has been with the Cubs in the big leagues for parts of the last 4 seasons.
Strike 3 on sinker, pitched to Hope. Inside corner called
strike 3, got him with a 2-seamer. Well, 3 up, 3 down, and 2 punch-outs, 1 ball and 2
strikes. strike 3 right down the middle. Fernandez strikes out a side. Pretty good
outing for the Cubs. Kane Kepley, he doubled his first time. We're in that section of the
game with double ear flaps on helmets and doubles being hit as Kepley drives on the gap.
He's gonna have himself at least another double. Coming in to score is Bowser. Kepley
going for 3, and he'll have a triple. Kane Kepley with a big day for Chicago. He tried to
say. 2-2 pitch. Here's the ball hammered into center field. Going back is Perkins. He looks
up, it's gone. Matt McLean goes opposite field , his first home run of the spring, and the
Reds have an early 1-0 lead. Oh, this is a shot to deep right
by Fisher. That's gone. First round pick from a year ago out of Tennessee

Baseball Classic. They're gonna be very happy with that production. They floated 2 down the
pitch, swing, fly ball, left field. Beck going back, Beck looking up, it's gone. A
grand slam. For Nick Lofton and the Royals open up some daylight here in Scottsdale. They
lead 5-0. There they go, the pitch swing and a liner down the right field line. McCarthy going
back, it's over his head, it's gonna roll to the fence. One run is in, 2 runs are in, 3 runs
are in. Thomas slides in feet 1st and 3rd with a bases clearing triple. Make a difference in
that. Martinez throws and that one's hit fair down the right field line and all the way to
the corner. Deluca has to go chase it, then it sticks, and he has to go dig it out. McGonagall
around 2nd will try for 3rd, and the throw rolls in. It's a triple for Kevin McGonagall.
The infield's going to come in all the way for the race, and here is Matt Veerling. There's a
swing and a line drive base in past the diving Taylor Walls into the left, and Veerling trying
to add more offense to the Tigers has given them a 1 to 0 lead. Infield pulled to the right,
the 2-0, swung on, hammered to right, this one won't come back. This is way out of here,
onto the roof of the picnic plaza atop the wall in right field.
