- Harrison Bader led off Sunday's game with a home run and Edmundo Sosa hit a two-run blast to tie the game in the eighth inning as the Cardinals and Mets played to a 3-3 tie today in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Neither Adam Wainwright or Carlos Martinez could complete their scheduled two innings of work before reaching their prescribed pitch count for their first appearance of the spring.

- John Gant will get the start today as the Cardinals play the Marlins in Jupiter. Also scheduled to make their first appearances for the team are left-handers Zach Thompson, their top pick in last year's draft, and top prospect Matthew Liberatore, acquired in an off-season trade with Tampa.

- The Blues ran their winning streak to four games on Sunday night with a 4-1 win over the Wild in Minnesota. Jordan Binnington made 32 saves and the Blues have allowed only two total games during their winning streak. They will host Chicago on Tuesday night.

- The Battlehawks improved to 2-1 on Sunday with a 29-9 win over the New York Guardians. The game featured the first kickoff return for a touchdown in the XFL.
