For the first time in his MLB career, the 24-year-old played on middle court. Defensively, he recorded one out, which ended the third inning.
Offensively, Freeman recorded a hit in his third straight game, as his lone RBI with two outs in the first inning of the second inning extended the Guardians’ lead to 2-0. He also scored his stolen second base of the spring and had a hit in the sensible part of the first inning.
The 25-year-old got off to a near-perfect start in the spring.
The left-hander pitched two scoreless innings with no hits and struck out two. His only blemish of the day was a walk to start the bottom of the second inning.
After giving up a solo home run in the top of the sixth, the left-hander had a good structure.
Herrin struck out the Cubs’ next three batters, outscored the last two and got his first strike of the spring.
