Pedro León went yard and knocked in two runs, but Houston was drubbed by Washington by a 10-3 count. In a spring that is very key for the young outfielder is hitting a miniscule .200. The toolsy León has spent the last three seasons at Sugar Land AAA and might be dealt if he doesn’t impress with the lumber.
Julio Pablo Martínez swatted his first hit of the spring and scored on two occasions in Atlanta’s 13-4 loss to the Pirates. The offseason acquisition is in the hunt and the favorite to be the team’s fourth outfielder.
Zach Neto laced a double, a triple and drove in three runs in three trips to the plate to do his part in the Angels’ 6-4 win over the Brewers. The Cuban-American infielder will more than likely be the team’s Opening Day shortstop also watched his average rise to .400 on the spring.
