A win.
The offense was good today. We had 14 hits, so likely should have scored more than 6 runs but it was enough.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his second home run of the spring, a no doubter.
Francisco Liriano was great for his 3 innings. He allowed just 1 walk and had 5 strikeouts. He looks ready for the season.
