Big D

It was a second straight scoreless outing for the right-hander after surrendering a homer on his first pitch of the Grapefruit League.
Too much air
Catcher Ben Rortvedt overthrew second base attempting to nail Connor Norby stealing in the sixth inning. Norby reached third base on the error.

The lefty allowed two hits and one walk and struck out three.
