Things worth mentioning…

• Jaime Garcia pitched five scoreless innings, striking out three and not walking a batter. He kept the ball on the ground and in the infield for pretty much his entire start. Only one hitter managed to get the ball into the outfield, which was a Carlos Santana double in the second inning. He’s given up just two earned runs all spring in nine innings. SP5 baby.
• Josh Donaldson, noted hater of spring, was back in the lineup today after missing a bit of time with calf cramping. He stayed in for three at-bats and hit a single.
• Devon Travis had a long afternoon at the plate, going hitless in four at-bats with three strikeouts.
• Roberto Osuna still hasn’t allowed a run this spring. He pitched another scoreless inning this afternoon, bringing his Spring Training totals to five innings pitched, no runs, five strikeouts and not a single walk. Don’t Panic is on year round, huh?
• Aaron Loup faced two hitters and struck both of them out. The lefty is up to nine Ks and no walks in 5.2 spring innings.
