Brown scattered five hits on the afternoon and didn't walk a batter. All of the scoring that was done against him came in the opening inning as Carlos Correa plated a run with a groundout and Trevor Larnach added an RBI single. He settled in beautifully after that though and the Twins never really threatened against him the rest of the way. The 26-year-old hurler generated 14 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the day -- seven on his fastball which averaged 97.6 mph -- while registering a strong CSW of 35 percent. He'll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 15/3 K/BB ratio into Wednesday's showdown against the Mariners in Seattle.
There didn't appear to be any injuries here, just the Twins getting two of their best players a half-day off in what turned out to be a 9-0 loss. Both Buxton and Correa were 0-for-1 before exiting.
You know you're having a rough spring when you draw a walk and it's one of your better days. The 30-year-old shortstop is hitting a woeful .114 (4-for-35) with no homers and just two RBI in Grapefruit League action. Correa's ADP has seemingly settled in right around pick 225 overall in recent mixed league drafts, leaving plenty of room for profit if he's able to stay on the field for most of the 2025 campaign.
