What’s a rainy, windy night good for if not for storytelling, and tonight was another installment of one of the more interesting storylines in Mariners spring training: Nick Margevicius vs. Justin Dunn for the sixth spot in the rotation. While Large Marge seemed to win the battle last time out, tonight I think Dunn outdueled his lefty counterpart.
Things started well for Margevicius with two strikeouts looking: Dee, looking sharp in his new Reds threads, and Jesse Winker, who stared at a 92 mph fastball on the plate and chose not to partake. Senzel grounded out to make it a very quick inning for Marge, with first-pitch strikes thrown to all three batters.
