Austin Wells homers again as Yankees tie Rays, 3-3

The Yankees played to a 3-3 tie with the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Here are the takeaways...

-Max Fried wasn't necessarily at the top of his game, but he had an effective outing nonetheless. The lefty went 5.1 innings, allowing three earned runs on four hits, including a two-run homer by Junior Caminero in the fist inning. Fried walked three and struck out four. He finished his spring with a 3.38 ERA.

-The Yankees didn't have a hit through the first four innings, but the offense came to life in the fifth as Anthony Volpe lined an opposite field home run for the Bombers' first hit of the game, andAustin Wells followed that up with a two-run shot to put the Yankees ahead.

Wells now has six home runs this spring, and he's likely won the leadoff hitter job come Opening Day.

-Aaron Judge's rough go of it this spring continued Sunday, as he went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, though he did reach base on a walk. Judge is hitting just .129 this spring.

-Paul Goldschmidt was back in the lineup for a second straight day after missing some time with a sore back. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a single and a strikeout, and he's now hitting .297 this spring.

Who was the game MVP?

Wells, who now has a 1.263 OPS this spring.
