Kevin Smith, a non-roster infielder competing for a spot on the bench as a reserve shortstop, made a fielding error in the first inning of the game, which the Yankees lost 12-6, but he was 3-for-3 with a three-run triple. Red Sox in Fort Myers, Florida.
worst to worst
Fortunately, at the end of the first inning, the Red Sox had a 9-0 lead over the Yankees. The final damage included two errors by the Yankees and three home runs by the Red Sox.
It caught my eye
Oswaldo Cabrera has been an all-around player on the field this spring, but he showed off his defensive prowess as a third baseman with some nice plays Sunday. In one game, he lunged at a dribbler and kicked the ball with his bare hands, throwing CJ Cron off first. He then made a diving stop on another grounder, but the throw to first was slightly delayed and Sedan Rafaela ran down the line.
Monday schedule
Carlos Rodon is scheduled to make his fourth start this spring when the Yankees host the Phillies at 1:05 p.m.
