Matt Barnes allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking out one in the fifth inning Monday against the Twins in Grapefruit League action.
Fantasy Impact:
Barnes received a mound visit from pitching coach Dana Levangie, who told the right-hander he was tipping his pitches, Tom Keegan of the Boston Herald reports. "I was tipping," Barnes said. "He told me, and I was able to fix it right away. It doesn't matter how good your stuff is, if they know what's coming, it's going to get hit. I feel like stuff-wise today was great, and then the swings I got on pitches following the mound visit were more in line with how I felt about my stuff." This is good news for Barnes owners as the veteran reliever has the inside track on the closer role for Boston.
