The second start is better than the first for Luis Ortiz: Guardian's breakfast today

Ortiz allowed a run with three goals. He excluded two and did not go a stroke when he threw 66 parking spaces: six of his nine outs came on ground balls.

“Luis really attacked the strike zone,” said manager Stephen Vogt Reporter in Arizona after the game. “He worked with Carl (Willis, Pitching Coach) and our Pitching Group on his Breaking Ball. He got a little more shape and took some speed away. We saw some really good things from Louie today. “

Ortiz allowed six runs with six goals in 1 1/3 innings against the Brewers at the first start of the Cactus League.

“I felt very good today,” said Ortiz by interpreter Agustin Rivero.

The guards acquired from the pirates at the winter meetings Ortiz in December. Since January in Goodyear, Arizona, he has been training with Cleveland's Pitching teachers.

“It was normal,” said Ortiz when he was asked by the pirates to Cleveland after the transition. “I don't think much about it. I have to concentrate on my work. “
