Grand slams by Nick Evans and Chris Valaika powered their teams to victories, Jeff Niemann continues to pitch like a former 1st round pick should, tossing 4 scoreless innings, Travis Snider went deep again and Brett Gardner continues to try to prove to the masses that he is more than a speedster with his third long tripper this spring. However, it was a former Bronx prospect that captured today’s award as Pittsburgh’s Jose Tabata was a perfect 3-3 with a couple of doubles and 4 runs driven in.
