Mark Vientos Struggles Continue With Hitless Outing

Mark Vientos remains in a slump during Grapefruit League play, falling to 3-for-36 this spring after an 0-for-4 night against the Astros. Despite the results, manager Carlos Mendoza remains optimistic, noting Vientos is hitting the ball hard with exit velocities reaching 105 mph. Vientos, who hit 17 homers last season, is competing for playing time and remains focused on earning his at-bats as he looks to regain his form following a difficult stint in the World Baseball Classic.
