In their sixth official game of Spring Training, the Mariners sent out Mike Leake for his second start thus far. Leake was masterful in his three innings of work, allowing just one hit and striking out three.
The Indians’ starter, Adam Plutko, wasn’t as fortunate. The Mariners jumped on Plutko early, scoring five runs in the second inning.
It all started off with a solo blast from Daniel Vogelbach, who went 1-for-1 with the aforementioned home run and two walks on the day. Vogelbach was initially slated to be the Mariners’ designated hitter today but wound up at first base after Ryon Healy was scratched from the lineup with hamstring tightness.
