The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 13-5, their second win of Spring Training. Matt Kemp had a 2-run home run, and Mitch Jones continued his hot hitting with a grand-slam in a 6-run eighth inning. Juan Castro had 3 hits, including 2 doubles, Valentino Pascucci snagged 3 hits as well, and Jamie Hoffmann had 3 RBI's. The Dodgers' pitching prospects teamed up, with Clayton Kershaw giving up 2 runs in 2 innings, and James McDonald throwing two scoreless innings to get the win. Scott Elbert had 2 perfect innings.
Blake DeWitt played at shortstop for the first time in his professional career. If he can successfully cover short, he improves his chances to make the team's roster as a utility-man. DeWitt currently can play second-base and third.
There have been no new talks between the Dodgers and Manny's agent Scott Boras, according to MLB.com. Boras told the website he spoke with Ned Colletti, but there is nothing new to report. The team still has not responded to Boras's counter-offer of a non-deferred $45 million for two years.
This was the last game for Russell Martin, Valentino Pascucci, and Luis Maza with the Dodgers. All three, as well as Jonathan Broxton and Kenley Jansen will all be leaving to join their respective World Baseball Classic teams.
