Spencer Jones reaches three times, Ben Hess pitches in Yankees' Spring Breakout loss to Orioles
The Yankees were defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 in their Spring Breakout Game on Saturday night.
- Carlos Lagrange took the mound for the Baby Bombers. The 21-year-old was terrific as he showed off his 70-grade fastball, touching 100 mph consistently from the get-go. After allowing a leadoff single, he retired the next 11 hitters in a row before Vance Honeycutt beat him to left-center for an inside-the-park homer.
Lagrange finished with a final line of two runs (one earned) on two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts across 4.0 innings.
- Spencer Jones almost made a nice running grab ranging over to left-center on the inside-the-parker, but he wasn't able reel it in. The slugger reached base three times but his only serious damage came in the top of the seventh as he was gifted a double after the left fielder lost it in the lights.
- George Lombard Jr. was quiet at the plate over his first three at-bats, but then he reached in his next two with a walk and a single. The 19-year-old first-round pick was really impressive this spring -- demolishing a pair of homers, including a 414-foot blast that left the bat at a whopping 108.4 mph.
- Jesus Rodriguez drove in two of New York's four runs with a run scoring groundout and an RBI single.
- Ben Hess, the Yankees' first-round pick from last year, made his unofficial pro debut. He cruised through a perfect first inning of work but then allowed a run to score on Dylan Beavers' RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. The 22-year-old struck out 106 batters in 68 innings last year at Alabama.
- Alexander Vargas made a terrific over-the-shoulder running grab on a pop up in shallow right in the ninth.
The Yankees split up to play a pair of 1:05 p.m. games on Sunday, staying in Port Charlotte to face the Rays and in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Orioles Announce Ryan Mountcastle Injury Update
Orioles Announce Ryan Mountcastle Injury Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles are preparing to be without first baseman Ryan Mountcastle for the forseeable future. Interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Wednesday that Mountcastle, who recently underwent an MRI on his right hamstring, will be sidelined "a while," per Roch Kubatko of While the team has not provided an official timetable, the phrasing suggests Mountcastle could be out indefinitely as he recovers from the strain. Advertisement Mountcastle was placed on the injured list earlier this week, prompting Baltimore to recall Coby Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk. May 11, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (6) runs the bases after hitting a run-scoring single in the fifth inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Mayo now appears to have a clear path to regular at-bats, either at first base or as the designated hitter. Ryan O'Hearn, who has split time between the outfield and first, is also expected to handle more duties at the cold corner while Mountcastle is sidelined. The 27-year-old slugger has been a steady contributor in the heart of the Orioles lineup. Mountcastle is slashing .264/.319/.420 with 10 home runs and 34 RBIs across 58 games. His absence creates a void in both offensive production and experience, as the Orioles turn to younger options. Advertisement Mountcastle is the 12th player the Orioles currently have on the IL. Outfielder Cedric Mullins landed on IL just hours before Mountcastle exited with right hamstring discomfort.
