Snake bit

Kyle Hendricks, the majorleague ERA champ last year, had his scoreless streak to open spring training snapped at six innings when Ketel

Marte’s two- out double in the second inning drove in two runs. Shortstop Addison Russell, who one batter earlier couldn’t finish off a would- be spectacular play, relayed a throw from left fielder

Kyle Schwarber to throw out Jeff Mathis at the plate trying to score from first on Marte’s hit.
