"The bonking started early - Mike Yastrzemski doubled to lead off the second, scored on an Ozzie Albies single, and then there was an Eli White single, a sac fly, a Mauricio Dubon single, and a Drake Baldwin "triple" on a diving catch in center gone awry. Two innings later, White pulled a two-run homer into the left-field seats."
"On the pitching end, Chris Sale had another pretty normal tuneup. He lasted six innings and had "just" a 3/0 K/BB ratio. Around his final inning of work, he was mostly just pumping fastballs in, but then Nick Fortes homered on one of those fastballs, and Sale went back to less lackadaisical secondaries until leaving the game."
"Drake Baldwin hit a three-run homer off Yoendrys Gomez in the eighth. Braves batters had more fun, with Yastrzemski collecting three hits (two doubles) and Baldwin getting a "triple" and homer."
The Braves dominated the Rays in a spring training game, scoring 11 runs across multiple innings. Mike Yastrzemski led the offensive charge with three hits including two doubles, while Drake Baldwin contributed a triple and three-run homer. Eli White added a two-run homer as the Braves consistently scored off Rays starter Nick Martinez and relievers. On the mound, Chris Sale pitched six innings with a 3-0 strikeout-to-walk ratio, though he allowed a solo homer to Nick Fortes. Relief pitchers Raisel Iglesias, Aaron Bummer, and Ian Hamilton combined to finish the game. The Rays offered minimal resistance with a limited lineup that scattered hits but failed to mount any serious offensive threat.
