[March 25, 2024]
Willy Adames went 3-for-3 with three homers, six RBIs and
four runs to lift the host Milwaukee Brewers to a commanding 14-4
victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday in Phoenix.
Adames went deep in the third, fifth and sixth to headline
Milwaukee's 17-hit performance. Brice Turang contributed three hits
and two RBIs for the Brewers, who also got home runs from Sal
Frelick, Rhys Hoskins and Luis Lara in a rematch of a 2023 National
League wild-card series that Arizona won 2-0.
The Diamondbacks scored the first two runs of the game before
Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (1-1) fell apart. Kelly was tagged for
six runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck
out four.
Milwaukee starter DL Hall (2-0) went five innings, allowing two runs
on five hits while striking out four without issuing a walk.
Jose Fernandez drove in a pair of runs for the Diamondbacks.
Astros 9, Cardinals 4
Houston rattled off nine unanswered runs and never looked back to
beat visiting St. Louis in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Will Wagner and Jon Singleton each had a two-run single to help the
Astros build a 9-0 lead. Hunter Brown (3-0) benefited from the run
support, and he picked up five strikeouts across 4 1/3 scoreless
innings.
Lance Lynn (0-2) saw his spring ERA balloon to 7.90 after giving up
six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Cardinals. St.
Louis' R.J. Yeager went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.

Tigers 3, Rays 2
Beau Brieske notched a six-out save as host Detroit held off Tampa
Bay in Lakeland, Fla.
Brieske kept the Rays off the board while surrendering just two
hits. The Tigers moved in front in the seventh when Matt Vierling
scored on Ryan Vilade's double-play grounder.
Jose Siri had a two-run single in the second, but Tampa Bay never
scored again.
Orioles 8, Twins 3
Visiting Baltimore leaned on its young stars to pick up a win over
Minnesota in Fort Myers, Fla.
Gunnar Henderson, 22, set the tone with a solo shot in the first and
Adley Rutschman, 26, provided some insurance with a three-run blast
in the seventh. Grayson Rodriguez, a 24-year-old right-hander,
opened the game with three scoreless innings.
The Twins collected 12 hits but ended up leaving 10 men on base. Joe
Ryan yielded two runs and two hits in five innings and came away
with a no-decision. He walked one and fanned five.
Phillies 2, Blue Jays 0
Aaron Nola scattered two hits across 5 2/3 shutout innings and host
Philadelphia blanked Toronto in Clearwater, Fla.
Nola issued one walk and recorded four strikeouts. Trea Turner's
single and Alec Bohm's double each brought home a run in the first
for the Phillies.
Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (1-2) allowed just two runs and
five hits across five innings but was pinned with the loss due to
Toronto's poor offensive showing.
Braves 5, Red Sox 5
Boston overcame a three-run deficit, playing to a tie with visiting
Atlanta in Fort Myers.
Michael Harris II's run-scoring single and Sean Murphy's two-run
homer put the Braves up 3-0 in the second. Atlanta was later ahead
5-2, and the Red Sox finally drew even when Allan Castro plated a
run with a base hit in the seventh.
Four Boston relievers combined for 3 1/3 innings of hitless relief
to allow the Red Sox to stay in the game.

Yankees 1, Pirates 0
Prized offseason acquisition Marcus Stroman logged six strong
innings as New York silenced host Pittsburgh in Bradenton, Fla.
Stroman (1-2), signed to a two-year, $37 million deal, allowed four
hits, walked two and fanned five before turning things over to the
bullpen. Jahmai Jones provided the game's lone run with an RBI
double in the fourth.
Pirates starter Martin Perez worked three shutout innings, walking
two and striking out three. He gave up one hit. Pittsburgh mustered
just five hits as a team.
Mets 10, Nationals 1
Tyrone Taylor had two hits and two RBIs and Starling Marte had two
hits and two runs as New York cruised past visiting Washington in
Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Pete Alonso also had two hits for the Mets, pushing
his batting average this spring to .320. Although the offensive
outburst was a welcome sight, two runs were all New York starter
Luis Severino (2-0) needed to get the win. He gave up just one run
and four hits in five frames.
Nationals reliever Robert Garcia was knocked around for three runs
on three hits in just two-thirds of an inning. A groundout resulted
in Washington's only run.
Marlins 5, Mets 1 (ss)
Darren McCaughan recorded three perfect innings in his second start
of spring training and host Miami baffled New York's split squad in
Jupiter, Fla.
Andrew Nardi (1-0) followed McCaughan with 1 2/3 innings and gave up
Omar Narvaez's RBI single, but that was all the offense the Mets
could muster.
Nick Gordon smacked a go-ahead, two-run single in the fourth for the
Marlins, leading to a loss for Tylor Megill (1-3). Megill lasted
five innings and was tagged for three runs and three hits. He struck
out seven while walking two.
Guardians 10, Reds 7
A three-run top of the ninth handed visiting Cleveland a victory
over Cincinnati in Goodyear, Ariz.
Johnny Tincher gave the Guardians an 8-7 lead when he scored on a
fielder's choice, and Daniel Schneemann then stepped up to the plate
and virtually wrapped up the victory with a two-run home run.
The teams traded five-run innings -- the Cincinnati fourth put the
Reds up 6-2, while the Cleveland sixth made it 7-6 in favor of the
Guardians. Cincinnati reliever Justin Wilson was charged with all
five Cleveland runs during that pivotal burst.
Cubs 9, Mariners 9
RJ Schreck clubbed a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth,
preventing host Seattle from falling to Chicago in Peoria, Ariz.
The Cubs took a 9-5 lead into the home half of the eighth after
striking for six runs in the top of the frame. Owen Caissie ripped a
three-run shot and Miguel Amaya, Jonathon Long and Darius Hill each
had an RBI double during Chicago's rally.
Bill Knight had a two-run double before Schreck's game-tying long
ball. Both starters allowed two runs, with the Mariners' Logan
Gilbert going 4 2/3 innings and the Cubs' Kyle Hendricks lasting 3
1/3.

Rockies 7, White Sox 3
Colorado waited until its final three rounds of at-bats to do most
of its damage, sinking visiting Chicago in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The Rockies scored twice in the sixth, three times in the seventh
and once in the eighth to bury the White Sox. Chicago's Chuckie
Robinson tied things at 3-all with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly,
but Hunter Goodman laced a three-run homer in the seventh and Trevor
Boone added a solo shot an inning later to wrap up the win.
Although the White Sox took the loss, starter Erick Fedde was solid,
permitting one run and two hits in five innings. Colorado
counterpart Austin Gomber also went five innings, giving up one run
on four hits.
Dodgers 5, Angels 3
Bobby Miller pitched 4 2/3 shutout innings and Gavin Lux drove in
two runs as the host Dodgers won the battle of the Los Angeles teams
in Dodger Stadium.
Miller (1-1) scattered four hits and struck out five with one walk.
He is scheduled to pitch the second game of the Dodgers' four-game
series with the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Lux's
two-run single came during the Dodgers' four-run second inning.
Angels starter Griffin Canning also worked 4 2/3 innings, striking
out eight but allowing the four runs on three hits and two walks. He
also hit two batters. Zach Neto had two of the Angels' 10 hits and
drove in a run.
