New York comes into the Grapefruit League Spring Training game with Baltimore with a record of 12-5 in the Grapefruit League and is leading the division despite losing their previous game to Philadelphia by a score of 4-1 yesterday.
Why?
Deivi Garcia showed impressive poise to turn in three no-hit, scoreless innings against the Phillies despite walking four. Three of those walks came in the opening frame, as he started the game by putting Andrew McCutchen aboard, then issued one-out walks to Bryce Harper and Jean Segura. After a mound visit, he retired two to get out of the inning but was back in the stretch with a leadoff walk to Matt Joyce in the second. Joyce, though, was the last Philadelphia hitter to get aboard against García “according to an article by Kelsie Heneghan and Josh Jackson”
