The Bucs had seven extra base hits and had 11 players register hits. Just a wild game at the plate. It all started against Twins starter Terry Doyle, so not exactly a big league arm, but it remains incredibly impressive.
The pitching normally doesn’t matter much when your team scores 17 runs, but in a spring training game there is more to worry about than just winning the game. Jo-Jo Reyes started the game and gave up four runs in 2.1 innings on five hits while walking three. Not an impressive start for Reyes. Daniel McCutchen threw two-thirds of an inning scoreless, Daniel Cabrera and Doug Slaten added scoreless innings, and Juan Cruz and Chris Leroux gave up single runs while working innings each.
