  • Pete Alonso hit his first home run of spring training, a three-run shot in the sixth inning.
  • Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
  • Neither Francisco Lindor nor Juan Soto had a hit, but Soto drove in a run on a sac fly.
  • Brett Baty doubled and tripled, and both Tyrone Taylor and Starling Marte also doubled.
