The starting lineup for tonight’s televised game. Not too shabby, looks like ROOT Sports wound up with the A-squad today, while the other half of the team was playing the Cincinnati Reds in another park. James Paxton was our starter tonight.
This was Paxton’s third spring game, and he had a very successful first two innings, six up and then down. Dodgers pitcher Carlos Frias returned the favor. Paxton’s streak did not last long, however, as Alex Hassan’s hit to left got past Kyle Seager and rendered Hassan on base. Elian Herrera followed suit, with another hit to left, moving Hassan up to second, but after a line drive to center fielder Boog Powell off the bat of Enrique Hernandez, and Trayce Thompson caught looking, Paxton managed to end the inning.
