And with that, there is but one game left on the spring training schedule. Boston couldn’t get anything going with the bats on Monday for their penultimate game in Grapefruit League action, dropping one against the Twins 2-0. We’ll go with quick bullet points on today’s highlights, for one because the day is getting away from me and also because there’s really not a ton to talk about!
- Tanner Houck got the start in this one and should be lined up to start the third game of the regular season. The righty was mostly good in his final outing of the spring, striking out seven Twins in six innings — hell, even going six innings is something of a big deal for him, though with exhibition substitutions he’s not really turning the lineup over — while walking just one.
