MLB SPRING TRAINING SCOREBOARD

Bryce Harper got his first hit with Philadelphia, and Manny Machado homered for San Diego.

Both of baseball's big offseason free agents are finally getting into the swing of things at spring training.

Harper lined a 97 mph fastball to center field for a single in the fourth inning Wednesday against Detroit, snapping his 0-for-9 start to Grapefruit League play with the Phillies. The slugger jokingly gestured toward the dugout that he wanted to keep the ball as a souvenir.

It was Harper's 16th plate appearance over six exhibition games. Spencer Turnbull struck him out swinging in the first inning.

His final time up, Harper walked against Reed Garrett leading off the seventh. The 2015 NL MVP has struck out six times and drawn five walks.

Harper played seven innings in right field.

Kapler plans to hit Harper third regularly during the season.

Harper agreed to a $330 million, 13-year contract in late February, almost two weeks after spring training began. He missed one game after getting hit by a pitch in the ankle on Friday.

Machado, who signed a $300 million, 10-year deal with the Padres on Feb. 21, hit his first homer of the spring. The two-run shot came off Brandon Woodruff in the first inning of San Diego's 10-7 loss to Milwaukee.

Machado is batting .176 with four RBI.
