At 1:08 P.M. EST, Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin faced and retired Miami Marlins leadoff hitter CF Lewis Brinson on a groundout. At 3:37 P.M. EST, Marlins reliever Mike Kickham induced a fly out to center fielder Isaac Galloway off the bat of Luis Sardinas to earn a GF in a non-save situation. Between those two events, these clubs played two hours and 39 minutes of mostly meaningless baseball.
Despite this being a “meaningless” exhibition, the game does mean a lot to the group of players on both sides still trying to nail down a spot on their respective teams’ Opening Day rosters.
