Ramirez went 1 for 3, singling in the fourth inning to end an 0-for-13 streak. He is at .120 (3 for 25) with one RBI and no extra-base hits.

Yet Ramirez was no terror last spring either, hitting .232 (13 for 56) with two homers and 13 RBIs in 23 games, before going on to hit .351 with 38 homers and 122 RBIs in the regular season.

Offerman left the game after the fifth inning with tightness in his left groin. The injury is not believed to be serious.
