Jordan Montgomery Pitches Well On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well against the Phillies on Sunday, tossing three shutout innings with two hits allowed.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe went 1-for-3 with one hit, a run scored, and a strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Twins.

Brett Gardner Hits A Grand Slam On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-1 with a walk and a grand slam against the Phillies on Sunday, his first home run of spring training this year.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Ji-Hwan Bae picked up his first hits of the spring on Sunday afternoon, finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in the 13-1 victory over the Orioles.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday.

Christian Yelich Excited For "Fresh Start" After Down Season

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is excited to get a fresh start in 2021 after struggling for most of the pandemic-shortened campaign.
