Pitchers: RHP Mitch Keller v. RHP Tyler Duffy. RHP Michael Feliz, LHP Tyler Lyons, RHP Brandon Maurer and RHP JT Brubaker will work behind Keller. We get to see the next-ups, Keller and Brubaker, in their first action of the spring.
Yesterday: Walks are a bane and today was no different. Boston turned an early Bryce Brentz homer and a shaky outing by Elvis Escobar - two walks and a missed catch error - into a 3-1 lead. The Bucs had an answer, scoring their first run on a Colin Moran double and Kevin Newman sac fly into a run, then using three walks to manufacture three eighth-inning tallies and a 4-3 win over the Red Sox. The win went to Eduardo Vera and Morgan DuRapau earned the save.
Notes:
- Ol' Bucco mateys Gorkys Hernandez and Bryce Brentz started for the Red Sox yesterday.
- Adam Berry of MLB.com makes a case for Pablo Reyes.
- Trevor Williams, Felipe Vazquez, Keone Kela and Richard Rodriguez worked a sim game at camp yesterday.
- Richard Justice of MLB.com thinks the Pirates are one of five teams that could be sneaky good this season.
