Just missed
Juan Soto came within a few feet of homering in a second straight game. Instead, he had to settle for a two-run double.
Caught my eye
Infield prospect Jorbit Vivas continued to make his impact felt and catch Aaron Boone’s attention. The second baseman came off the bench to hit a home run for the second time in as many games, flashing some power for a hitter better known for his bat-to-ball skills. “He’s interesting,” Boone said. “Excited to see more of him.” Vivas is expected to see time at third base later this week.
Tuesday’s schedule
Clarke Schmidt will make his Grapefruit League debut against the Rays in Port Charlotte, Fla., at 1:05 p.m.
