On a beautiful night for baseball in Vero Beach, if dollar hot dogs and sodas were not good enough for fans to come out to Holman stadium, having a few major leaguers in the lineup certainly would. Scott Kazmir started the ball game and tossed 3 solid innings of one hit and one unearned run. Kazmir also struck out 3 batters while walking none.
Dioner Navarro who caught Kazmir and batted out of the two hole played a big role in helping the Devil Rays to an 8-5 victory. Without a hit, Navarro was able to get himself on base with two walks and was also hit by a pitch which did not damage. The second walk allowed Dioner to advance to third later in the inning before making an exit to a loud applause from the 2,053 in attendance.
Vero Beach has now won 4 of 5 and have improved to 7-8 on the season. Same two teams tomorrow night as Vero Beach travels 30 minutes south to Tradition Field to complete their home and home with the Mets.
Navarro is expected to DH tomorrow night with Matt Garza on the mound this Sunday. You can hear the call Sunday starting at 12:45 with the Bud Light pre-game show.
