Spring training: Giants 9, Rockies 2
Todd Wellemeyer had his best outing of the spring, throwing four scoreless innings and allowing just two hits in the San Francisco Giants 9-2 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Wellemeyer, who is battling for the No. 5 spot in the rotation, did not walk a batter, did not record any strikeouts and needed only 41 pitches to get through his four innings of work. His spring ERA sits at 2.00.
