Wood, who has hit safely in all six ST games, is now batting .500 (7-for-14) after going 2-for-3. He started in CF, joined by fellow watchlisters Jacob Young in LF and Trey Lipscomb 2B, who each went 1-for-3.
Patrick Corbin tossed three scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out four to pick up the “W.” 2023 Watchlister Amos Willingham lost the shutout in the 9th but was credited with the save.
Here’s a rundown of how the rest of the ’24 edition did coming off the bench:
- Robert Hassell subbed for Lane Thomas and drew a walk in the 8th
- Dylan Crews followed Wood in CF and tapped out to the pitcher after Hassell walked
- Brady House replaced Nick Senzel at 3B and struck out to end the 9th
- Israel Pineda was the second backstop and caught the last two innings but did not bat
- Jake Alu spelled Y-o-u-n-g in LF and had one PO but no PA
- Darren Baker subbed for Lipscomb at 2B and made two plays on defense, none on offense
Washington (4-2) returns to West Palm Beach this afternoon to face Houston as the home team. MacKenzie Gore is slated to make his second spring start. The game can be heard on MLB.com with both teams having their radio crews working.
