Quick recap for split squad games

We had a loss and a tie in the two games.

The biggest news we that Lourdes Gurriel was hit on the wrist by a pitch and came out of the game. They say no fracture, he has a ‘forearm contusion’.

Pirates 1 Blue Jays 1 (in Dunedin)

Aaron Sanchez started, he pitched 2 good innings, allowing 1 walk and had 1 strikeout. Apparently he was hitting 95 on the radar gun. Very happy to see him have a good start to his spring.

The only Jays run was on a Logan Warmoth home run.

Other pitchers:

• Clayton Richard: 2 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk.
• David Paulino: 1 inning, 2 strikeouts. I think he is on the bubble with the signings yesterday.
• Joe Biagini: 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 2 strikeouts. He gave up a double, next batter, Richard Urena made a throwing error and the runner scored.
• Javy Guerra: 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 walk.
• Shawn Morimando: 1 inning, 1 k.
• Mark Leiter Jr.: 1 inning, 3 strikeouts.
