Lefty reliever Mike Montgomery, in camp on a minor league deal, pitched two scoreless innings and struck out four. It was Montgomery’s second appearance this spring.
Friday Schedule
Marcus Stroman is scheduled to face the Marlins in Port St. Lucie. Dellin Betances, Joey Lucchesi and Drew Smith are among the other pitchers expected to see action.
