Lane Thomas Powers Guardians with Spring League Homers

In recent spring training games, Lane Thomas of the Guardians showcased his power by hitting a three-run home run against Seattle, marking his third homer of the Cactus League and leading the team with 11 spring RBIs. Thomas has been versatile in the batting order, potentially solidifying his role as a middle-of-the-order bat for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Pavin Smith of the Diamondbacks also made a notable impact by hitting a solo home run in a game against Cincinnati, continuing his strong performance with two homers in consecutive games. Smith is competing for a designated hitter spot, while the team evaluates its lineup options. Willi Castro added to the excitement with a two-run home run for the Twins, extending their lead in a game, and Tai Peete contributed a significant two-run homer for the Mariners, narrowing the gap in their matchup.
