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”

Meanwhile,

Baltimore comes into the spring training game with New York with a record of 6-11 and is fourteenth in the Grapefruit League. “

Why?

Because Baltimore scored eleven runs and topped Pittsburgh by a score of 11-9!

When?

Why?
