Kaz allows a run in two innings

Scott Kazmir allowed a run in two innings in his spring debut.

He would have allowed more than one run had Gabe Kapler not robbed Delmon Young (Remember him?) with a nifty catch in deep center field.

Kapler was playing shallow and ran a long way to catch up to the drive. Remember, center field at Charlotte Sports Park is 414 feet.

Back to Kazmir.

Kaz allowed three hits and walked a batter. He struck out one.

Kazmir breezed through the first inning on nine pitches.

He needed 24 to get through the second.

David Winfree drove in the run with a double just inside the third base bag and just beyond the reach of a diving Ben Zobrist.
