A quick look at the performances of former Nevada Wolf Pack baseball players in spring training games on Tuesday . . .
- LYLE OVERBAY: The veteran first baseman went 1-for-3 with a rare triple for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday in a 15-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Overbay, who pinch-hit for Mike Carp and remained in the game as the designated hitter, scored a run and drove in a run. His triple came off Cardinal reliever Victor Marte.
- CHRIS GIMENEZ: The former Wolf Pack catcher went 0-for-1 for the Tampa Bay Rays in a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros. Gimenez came in for Rays' third baseman Evan Longoria and played third base.
- EDDIE BONINE: The right-hander pitched two innings for the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 7-7 tie with the Los Angeles Angels. Bonine, who played for the Pack in 2003, allowed two hits, a walk and a run while striking out two. He relieved starter David Holmberg and pitched the third and fourth innings and was credited with a hold.
- KEVIN KOUZMANOFF: Kouzmanoff went 0-for-1 for the Miami Marlins in a 7-5 win over the New York Mets. Kouzmanoff replaced starter Placido Polanco at third base.
