Exactly why baseball needs tie-breakers in spring training—this was pointless.

Didn't see enough hustle from either team. Felt like they weren't playing seriously.

Only one run the entire game for each team? This was definitely a snoozefest.

The Blue Jays and Braves seriously need offensive upgrades if they're going to score more than one run.
