Spring record: 8-9.

At the plate: Sam Fuld produced a homer, single, stolen base and two runs scored in Mesa. Ryan Theriot raised his average to .444 with a hit and Micah Hoffpauir to .302 with one in Tempe.

On the mound: Sean Marshall allowed one unearned run in 41/3 innings in Mesa, but Chad Gaudin started against the Angels and was torched for six runs in 12/3 innings.

In the field: Marshall's throwing error on a double-play attempt at first base led to the only run he allowed. But he also picked one runner off first base.
