"Reynaldo Lopez sat around 92 MPH with his fastball, a few ticks down from his 95.5 and 95.7 MPH averages in 2024 and 2025. He allowed a few hard-hit balls, but struck out three and walked one through three innings. He generated 6 whiffs and kept Tampa scoreless in what was overall a nice outing for Reynaldo, even if the velo remained down in the lower 90s."
"Austin Riley crushed a homer in the sixth, for his second ball hit over 106 MPH of the day, a promising sign. Toolsy prospect Diego Tornes made an appearance in the seventh inning, pinch-hitting for Michael Harris and worked a nice walk, still at only 17 years old."
"On the road, Holmes gave up some hard contact, but struck out two and walked one through 2.2 innings of scoreless ball, sitting around 93-94 with his fastball. Garrett Baumann started the fourth inning and struck out the side on only one whiff, going on to collect another strikeout but only 3 whiffs total on 2+ innings of work."
