• The Pirates lose to the Twins, 5-1, here at Hammond Stadium. Henry Davis drove in the team's lone run with an RBI single in the third inning. Noah Davis allowed five runs in four innings. Bullpen combined to throw four scoreless. Astros travel to LECOM Park tomorrow.
• Scoreless fifth for Montgomery. Two strikeouts in the process. Really like what Montgomery could bring as a possible second lefty in the bullpen. As long as he maintains control, which he's done rather well over his last few outings.
• HOME RUN: Solo shot for Caratini. First of the spring to right. Twins 5, Pirates 1
• HOME RUN: Keaschall sends a three-run shot out to left. First pitch from Davis. Sinker practically down the middle. Location hasn't been very good here today. Twins 4, Pirates 1
• Pirates can't take the lead, but they did get to Ryan a bit there with two outs after he struck out Garcia and Mangum.
• RUN: Callihan walk and an single by Ozuna is followed up by an RBI single by Henry Davis. Went the opposite way, too. Encouraging sign.
• Davis retires the side in order in the second. Much better inning, as he threw just 11 pitches.
• Cook and Flores both strike out to strand two. Not a good spring for Flores, who has just two hits in 20 at-bats. Nine strikeouts.
• Yorke goes first to third on an opposite-field single by Gonzales. Sinker on the outer part of the plate and Gonzales just went with it. He's now hitting .529 in his seven spring games.
• First hit of the day for the Pirates belongs to Yorke. Single to left on a curveball down and out of the zone.
• Davis throws out Keaschall at third.
• RUN: Wallner scores on a ball weakly hit back to Davis. Twins 1, Pirates 0
• Rough start for Davis. Four-pitch walk followed by a double for Keaschall. Sinker down the middle.
