Lázaro Montes blasted a three-run eighth-inning homerun while also scoring three times to star offensively in Seattle’s 12-8 thrashing of the Brewers. The team’s third ranked prospect is hitting a robust .333 on the early spring. Although Montes could start the season in the minors, but is definitely in the team’s plans for the upcoming season.
Jorge Soler launched his first longball of the spring, drove in three runs and scored twice to pace the Angels in there 7-4 win over the Giants. “El Crudo” as he is known by the Cuban faithful has now driven in four runs on the preseason and looks to be a key piece to the team’s offense.
José Barrero went yard in his only trip to the plate during the Cardinals’ 7-4 victory over the Mets. The infielder who had a good winter in the LIDOM has started this spring hitting a robust .667 in a,limited amount of trips to the plate. César Prieto also helped the cause with a double and two runs scored.
