What Happened: Santana (1) and Franco (3) both homered, and a three-run fourth inning saw RBI doubles from Ryan Flaherty, Mitch Walding and Santana. Zach Eflin got the start and gave up four runs in his four innings of work.
Featured Card: It always seems appropriate to feature a Tug McGraw card on St. Patrick's Day.
