Here's a complete breakdown of the 16-game exhibition:

PHOENIX -- Sal Stewart was one fired-up Reds prospect.

On Sunday in the first inning during the organization's 9-7 Spring Breakout win over Brewers prospects, Stewart lifted a 2-2 pitch that sailed over the center fielder's head to the wall. Already not known as a speedster, he stumbled running

“Get me in a game,” Lambert said, “cool things will happen.”

SARASOTA, Fla. -- There was an audible “Ooh” from the crowd at Ed Smith Stadium, and Carlos Lagrange quickly glanced beyond the right-field wall, checking the velocity of the pitch he’d just thrown in Saturday’s 5-4 Spring Breakout loss to the Orioles.

It had registered in the triple digits,

MESA, Ariz. -- The thing about jaguars is, you don’t want to see one when it’s hungry.
