Yonder Alonso triples, scores twice in win over Reds

Yonder Alonso went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored Friday against the Reds.

Playing against his former team, Alonso reached on a single in the bottom of the first inning and hit a leadoff triple in the third. The 24-year-old is hitting .260 (13-for-50) with eight RBI this spring and will get the chance to sink-or-swim as the Padres' starting first baseman this season. PETCO Park is death for left-handed hitters, so the odds are against him being useful in mixed leagues initially.
