Spencer Jones reaches three times, Ben Hess pitches in Yankees' Spring Breakout loss to Orioles
The Yankees were defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 in their Spring Breakout Game on Saturday night.
Here are some takeaways...
- Carlos Lagrange took the mound for the Baby Bombers. The 21-year-old was terrific as he showed off his 70-grade fastball, touching 100 mph consistently from the get-go. After allowing a leadoff single, he retired the next 11 hitters in a row before Vance Honeycutt beat him to left-center for an inside-the-park homer.
Lagrange finished with a final line of two runs (one earned) on two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts across 4.0 innings.
- Spencer Jones almost made a nice running grab ranging over to left-center on the inside-the-parker, but he wasn't able reel it in. The slugger reached base three times but his only serious damage came in the top of the seventh as he was gifted a double after the left fielder lost it in the lights.
- George Lombard Jr. was quiet at the plate over his first three at-bats, but then he reached in his next two with a walk and a single. The 19-year-old first-round pick was really impressive this spring -- demolishing a pair of homers, including a 414-foot blast that left the bat at a whopping 108.4 mph.
- Jesus Rodriguez drove in two of New York's four runs with a run scoring groundout and an RBI single.
- Ben Hess, the Yankees' first-round pick from last year, made his unofficial pro debut. He cruised through a perfect first inning of work but then allowed a run to score on Dylan Beavers' RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. The 22-year-old struck out 106 batters in 68 innings last year at Alabama.
- Alexander Vargas made a terrific over-the-shoulder running grab on a pop up in shallow right in the ninth.
Whats next
The Yankees split up to play a pair of 1:05 p.m. games on Sunday, staying in Port Charlotte to face the Rays and in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
