The Baltimore Orioles are taking on the New York Yankees in their first spring training game on Friday. Pete Alonso made his first appearance with his new team and nearly recorded his first hit for Baltimore. However, a prospect outfielder for New York robbed the hit with a spectacular play.
Alonso, who is 31 years old, made nice contact with the ball in the bottom of the third. It flew down the gap toward left-center field, but Yankees outfielder Kenedy Corona chased it down for a diving catch, resulting in an out.

Through five innings of play, neither teams have recorded a point yet. It’s been a pitchers’ duel so far, as the Orioles only have four hits, while the Yankees have just one. There is still plenty of time remaining in the contest, but the pitching has been fantastic in this spring training matchup.
