SPRING TRAINING BASEBALL

-

Yankees 4, Orioles 2 (7)

Aaron Judge doubled and scored for New York in a win over Baltimore on Tuesday.

Gleyber Torres had two hits, scoring a run. Jordan Montgomery allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in two innings.

Trey Mancini had a sacrifice fly in his second game since missing last season recovering from surgery for colon cancer. Cedric Mullins tripled and singled for Baltimore, scoring a run from the leadoff spot and driving in one.

Mets 2, Astros 0 (7)

Marcus Stroman, who opted out of playing last season because of coronaviru­s concerns, pitched two perfect innings for the Mets. He struck out two and threw 30 pitches.

New York newcomer James McCann made his spring debut behind the plate and threw out a runner trying to steal. Jeff McNeil hit a solo home run in his first at-bat and Albert Almora Jr. also connected. Jordan Yamamoto, acquired from Miami to compete for a starting job, threw two innings.

Houston piggy-backed a pair of starters with Framber Valdez yielding McNeil's homer in the first two innings, striking out two. Cristian Javier, who finished third in the AL Rookie of the Year voting last season, followed with two shutout innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out two.

Red Sox 9, Rays 3

J.D. Martinez, who vowed to bounce back from a 2020 season that saw him bat just .213 in 54 games, singled twice in three trips and scored a run for Boston.

Enrique Hernandez hit a solo home run and walked twice. Rafael Devers and Yairo Munoz both hit two-run homers for the Red Sox. Martin Perez pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit.

Newcomer Michael Wacha made his first start for Tampa Bay, walked one in a scoreless inning.

Notes

Top executives in the Cleveland Indians' front office were aware of allegation­s of misconduct against then-pitching coach Mickey Callaway before they were made public and did not take disciplina­ry action, according to a report published Tuesday by the Athletic. Tuesday's story contradict­s statements made by team president Chris Antonetti, who said last month that the organizati­on was not aware of Callaway's alleged conduct before the Athletic published its initial article about him Feb. 1.

Tuesday's story suggested Callaway's lewd behavior was “the worst-kept secret” in the organizati­on and detailed multiple instances in which his sexual harassment of women was raised to Antonetti, General Manager Mike Chernoff and Manager Terry Francona.

Neither Antonetti nor Chernoff addressed Tuesday's report, and Francona said he could not comment when asked by reporters before a spring training game. The team offered similar silence in a statement issued to reporters hours later.
