There's not a whole lot worth noting from today's Spring Training game. Adam Wainwright made his spring debut today in the Cardinals' 7-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Wainwright was roughed up a bit in two innings of work, allowing four runs on five hits. Adam Ottavino had more difficulties today as he let a two run Cardinal lead get away.
On a positive note, the Cardinals' regulars bounced back rather nicely after being blanked yesterday by Red Sox pitching. Colby Rasmus hit his second home run of the spring, a two-run shot, in the fifth inning. Skip Schumaker had a nice day, going 2 for 4 with an RBI and run scored. David Freese had a two-hit day but also committed a throwing error.
As you may or may not know, Albert Pujols is out with lower back pain. He was originally scheduled to play yesterday but was scratched from the lineup. It shouldn't be too big of a deal, and I hope he can get back out there later this week. Even the great Albert Pujols needs Spring Training, and he hasn't gotten a lot of game action so far.
Here's the boxscore from today. That's all I really have for today. Peace.
