Yiddi Cappé drove in two runs via a double and a ground ball in four trips to the plate and also scored a run, but the Marlins fell to the Cardinals 11-10. The fish’s seventh ranked prospect is now hitting a robust .429 in seven at-bats this spring.
Tristón Casas went yard for the second time on the spring and drove in three runs to command Boston’s 5-2 win over the Rays. The Cuban- American slugger has now knocked in four runs in his last six games and watched his average rise to .211 on the preseason.
Zach Neto had a perfect day collecting three hits in as many trips to the plate, one of them being a second inning two-run shot off Hunter Greene. The native of Miami also scored three times to pace Los Angeles’ 10-6 victory over Cincinnati. The shortstop has been locked in at the plate this spring hitting .333.

Nice moment for Yiddi, who also had two hits in the Spring Breakout game and has been finding more contact on the backfields.#Marlins pic.twitter.com/hdGmzt1cwW
