Well, Michael Bourn leads us off again, as he belted his second home run of the spring in the Astros 12-10 win over the Dodgers on Monday. He is hitting .333 this spring for Houston.
Speaking of the Dodgers, they were part of an historic series in China over the weekend, and in the second game against the Padres, 2007 BlueClaw Kevin Howard got into the action for L.A. and got himself a single in 2 at bats. Kevin will probably be heading for AAA Las Vegas to start the season.
Also on Sunday, Gavin Floyd got into his third game for the White Sox this preseason. Gavin gave up 5 runs (4 earned) in the first 3 innings before settling down to record a scoreless fourth. Gavin, who has 8 major league wins under his belt, now has a 6.55 ERA in his preparation for this season.
Back to Monday's action, Robinson Tejeda pitched a 1-2-3 inning for the Texas Rangers in their 5-2 loss to Seattle, lowering his springtime ERA to 5.63.
In Clearwater, Carlos Ruiz pounded out 3 hits, scoring 2 runs and driving in another one in the Phillies 6-4 triumph over Cleveland. Carlos is now hitting .417 for the spring.
In minor league camp on Sunday, Will Savage, R.J. Swindel, Brett Harker, Andrew Cruse, and Matt German all threw 2 scoreless innings as the Phillies minor league squads took 3 out of 4 games from Toronto. On the offensive side, the former 'Claws were banging it out: Tuffy Gosowisch belted a home run, part of a 2 hit, 2 RBI day; Matt Thayer had 2 hits, including an RBI triple; while Quintin Berry and Fidel Hernandez both tripled in runs. Julian Williams doubled and scored, and P.J Antoniato, Greg Golson, Brad Harman, and Jason Donald all drove in runs.
So most of the news is good today, and there are 17 days until opening night in Lakewood!!
