Spring Training is in full swing, with all 30 Major League Baseball teams kicking off their exhibitions seasons over the weekend. The Cardinals have played three games to date.
Right-hander Jack Flaherty started the opener on Friday and dazed the Marlins over two scoreless innings in Jupiter. He struck out two batters, issuing zero walks and as many hits.
St. Louis ace Carlos Martinez took to the mound on Saturday in Port St. Lucie. Martinez scuffled in his first spring tune-up, walking three Mets and hitting one in 1 1⁄3 frames.
