Rays' Willy Adames: First homer of spring Tuesday

Adames went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly and solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning Grapefruit League loss to the Yankees.

The 21-year-old connected for his first round-tripper of spring in the fifth inning, his third hit overall in six games thus far. Adames also continued impressing in the field and has encouragingly held his own against major league pitching thus far. Although he appears ticketed to kick off 2017 at Triple-A Durham, this spring is clearly another pivotal step for the Rays' No. 1 prospect's development, and he's therefore likely to see plenty of opportunity for the balance of the exhibition slate.
