Making his first true spring start since March 7, Edward Cabrera looked like he was in midseason form early. Retiring the Astros in order through the first three innings, Cabrera would allow just 1 run over the remaining 1 2⁄3 innings, facing the Houston order twice before departing in a 5-4 Marlins victory. The soon-to-be 25-year-old struck out 3 and walked 2 in his 4 2⁄3 innings pitched, throwing 67 in what was scheduled to be an outing of no more than 75 pitches.
In 3 starts since the start of camp, Cabrera has allowed 2 runs in 9.
