Palms 2, Mariners 0

 The Palms’ pitching staff slammed the door on Seattle, combining for a three-hit shutout as Miami left town with a 2–1 series win and a bit of momentum heading into a brief homestand.

Erick Fedde set the tone with five steady innings, working around three walks to keep the Mariners off the board. Wandy Peralta (1–0) struck out two in a clean sixth to earn the win, Cody Allen handled the middle relief, and Chris Martin shut it down in the ninth for his 13th save.

The offense had plenty of traffic but little to show for it until the seventh, when Wellington Castillo broke through with a solo home run to left, his second of the year. Ian Pfaff later added insurance with a clutch RBI single in the ninth, his third hit of the day.

“It’s good to see the bullpen string it together,” Hatteberg said afterward. “We’ve had our ups and downs, but today it was crisp, efficient baseball.”

Frank Sohn continued to pace the lineup with two more hits, while Matt Koch doubled as part of Miami’s 12-hit effort. Still, 13 runners were left stranded, something the club will want to clean up when they return home.

Miami improved to 23–16 with the win. The Palms will head back to Coca-Cola Palms Park for a three-game set with the Twins beginning Friday, with Blake Johnston, Brian Kragh, and Manny Parra slated to start.

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...
