With Jose Reyes' return to baseball up in the air, much has been made this spring of shortstop Trevor Story's chances of cracking the Rockies' Opening Day lineup. The Rockies' No. 11 prospect certainly strengthened his case in a win over the Mariners, going 2-for-3 with a home run, triple, RBI and three runs scored. Story has homered in back-to-back games and has four in eight spring contests to go along with an overall batting line of .350/.458/1.100.
But Story wasn't the only Rockies' prospect to have a big game, as outfielder Raimel Tapia (Rockies No. 7) finished 2-for-4 with a run scored, while Cristhian Adames (No. 28), who is competing with Story to be the Opening Day shortstop, collected two hits in three at-bats.
Meanwhile, right-hander Miguel Castro, Colorado's No. 15 prospect, closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning to notch his first save of the spring.
