Nice 1st inning for no. 3 on the #SP60, Bryan Mata. Gets Scott Kingery to pop out on one pitch, then gives up a Josh Harrison single before Rhys Hoskins lines into a 5-3 double play. Just 20 years old, Mata spent the second half of 2019 at Double-A Portland.

Benintendi with a single on a 1-2 curveball from Pivetta to lead off the first. He’s 3-for-4 with a HR in that first AB of the game so far.

Mata often uses his heavy 2-seam fastball to generate ground outs. Nonetheless, that was a nice strikeout he got on Kyle Garlick (looking with his slider) with one out and two men on. He then got Deivy Grullon swinging on a curveball. Good job pitching himself out of trouble.

Rule 5 pick Jonathan Arauz hammers a 3-run blast over the replica monster off Phillies pitcher Cole Irvin to tie up the game 4-4. Arauz hasn't played above Double-A yet but had 11 homers between two levels last season. He's 27th on the #SP60.

Not yet. I grabbed some tickets for the games on the other side of Lake O.

LHP Kyle Hart had a strong two-inning outing vs Twins big leaguers. Mixed speeds and locations well, topping out at 91. He’s already defied some odds to get to the 40-man roster.

Guys like Hart should have an inside track to getting a 5th spot in the rotation before a retread like Brian Johnson or Hector Velazquez.

That’s J.D Martinez’s first spring training homer ever with the Sox.

This year's Pedro Ciriaco.
