Miami Palms 4, Detroit Tigers 2

 The Miami Palms wrapped up a sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Sunday with a 4–2 victory behind a pair of long balls from Brock Holt and Frank Sohn, steady pitching from Erik Fedde and the bullpen, and a strong bounce-back effort from the short-handed lineup.

With Brett Gardner out for the foreseeable future, the Palms shuffled their outfield and leadoff situation. Frank Sohn slid to center field and promptly delivered, launching a solo homer in the first inning to put Miami ahead early. Brock Holt, making his first start in a week, followed with a two-run homer in the second and later added a solo shot in the fifth for a three-RBI day.

“Holtie was huge for us today,” said manager Scott Hatteberg. “The power was nice, but it’s the versatility and spark he brings that’s just as valuable.”

Fedde earned his second win of the season with five innings of two-run ball, settling in after a bumpy fourth inning when the Tigers tied the game 2–2 on RBI hits from C.J. Cron and Jonathan Schoop. Fedde scattered five hits, walked one, and struck out five.

Miami’s bullpen kept Detroit in check from there. Braden Shipley and Wandy Peralta each tossed scoreless frames before Chris Martin worked a quiet ninth for his ninth save of the season.

“It was clean baseball,” Hatteberg said. “No errors, seven hits, and the bullpen locked it down. That’s the recipe.”

Injury Update:
The Palms confirmed that Brett Gardner was placed on the 60-day IL following his injury on Saturday. Jason Roeder, a promising lefty-hitting outfielder from Triple-A Jackson, was called up and is expected to make his debut during the upcoming Red Sox series.

BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTS:

  • W: Fedde (2–1)

  • L: Manning (0–1)

  • SV: Martin (9)

  • HR: Holt 2 (2), Sohn (2);

  • Player of the Game: Brock Holt – 2-for-3, 2 HR, 3 RBI

The Palms (16–13) have now won five straight and will welcome the Boston Red Sox for a three-game set beginning Monday at Coca-Cola Palms Park.

The Palms Can’t Just “Patch and Pray” Anymore

  South Florida Sun-Beat Column by Rhys Thomason It’s been said often enough this spring that the Miami Palms have been snakebitten by injuries, and sure, that’s true. Brett Gardner’s hamstring, Jaspero Gonzalez’s wrist, Jarod Lantz’s shoulder — all of them are the kind of setbacks that could sink a team with less depth. But let’s be honest: relying on duct tape and good vibes to paper over holes isn’t a strategy. It’s negligence. Look at the infield. Matt Koch has been pressed into everyday duty at second base, and while he’s played hard, nobody in Coconut Coast camp ever dreamed he’d be logging this many starts in April. He’s a utility man being asked to survive as a keystone anchor. That’s not development, that’s desperation. Then there’s the lineup. Edwin Encarnación keeps finding ways to knock in runs, but where’s the support? Pat Grant’s homer in the Bronx was a bright spot, but there’s a lack of consistent firepower around the middle of the order. The front office’s answe...

Verdugo, Red Sox Pummel Palms in Series Opener

By Vin Castillo, Coca-Cola Palms Park  MIAMI — The Palms got a dose of reality Monday night, and it came in the form of a relentless Boston lineup and an untimely outburst from their veteran catcher. Alex Verdugo went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, and the Red Sox racked up 16 hits en route to a 7-1 win over the Miami Palms at Coca-Cola Palms Park. The loss snapped Miami’s four-game win streak and featured a forgettable debut for newly called-up reliever Allan Persons, who gave up three runs on five hits in a single inning of work. Boston wasted no time, tagging Palms starter Blake Johnston for three runs in the opening frame, thanks to a pair of RBI hits from Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland. Johnston lasted just three innings, surrendering four earned runs, and took his second loss of the season. Miami’s lone highlight came in the bottom of the first when Jaspero Gonzalez drilled a solo home run—his seventh of the year—to cut the early deficit to 3-1. That would be all the offense...
