Spring Breakout has returned for the second season after debuting last year to much fanfare. The weekend began with a bang as the Rays edged the Red Sox on Thursday night with home runs coming from Boston's top three prospects and Tampa Bay's No. 1.
Like last year, all 30 Major League clubs formed teams of their best prospects at the showcase event, which continues through Sunday night. The rosters are packed with top prospects again, with 70 members of the current Top 100 Prospects list, and nearly two-thirds of the 900 players who make up teams’ Top 30 Prospects lists.
All games -- the Nationals and Cubs were scheduled twice because of the odd number of teams in the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues -- will be broadcast live across MLB Network, MLB.com, MLB.TV and the MLB App, as well as on regional sports networks.
Here's the complete schedule and results:
