Snell struck out two and gave up one earned run on one hit over 2.2 innings in Saturday's 1-0 Grapefruit League loss to the Orioles.
Snell was much sharper in what was his second time on the mound this spring, allowing the only run of the game on a groundout by Logan Schafer in the seventh. The 24-year-old lefty fired just under 50 pitches, getting a solid workload in and impressing manager Kevin Cash in the process. "Really liked the way Blake threw,'' Cash said. "He had everything getting over the plate, that was great to see for him.''
