WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. • The question after Harrison Bader saved a couple of runs with two diving catches and made one showman throw from center was whether a day in the field like that was every bit as delicious as delivering a home run from the plate.
Bader paused, still untying his cleats.
“Yes,” came a voice from over his shoulder. “I’ll answer that for him.”
Bader smiled back at reliever Mike Mayers.
“Sometimes you’re not going to go four-for-four at the plate,” said Bader, who was one-for-four with an RBI in a 4-2 loss Friday.
