Recap of Yankees Action

The New York Yankees won another one, defeating the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers by a score of 4-2. Phil Hughes got the start and went 4 1/3 innings giving up 1 run on 3 hits and 1 walk. He said after the game that he felt good about his fastball command and felt good about his changeup. " My curve wasn't great but was usable. I did throw some good cutters. Overall I feel good, I feel strong, I'm ready to go." Jason Johnson pitched 1 2/3 inning giving up 3 hit, 1 run, 1 walk. Anthony Claggett pitched 1 inning only giving up a walk, Dave Robertson pitched 1 1/3 inning giving up 0 runs, 0 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's. Kei Igawa finished it off pitching 2/3 of an inning giving up 2 hits and a walk but keeping his scoreless streak alive which is now 12 2/3 innings. I wonder if anyone needs a left handed pitcher, any takers, anyone?? The offense had Brett Gardner going 1-3, Todd Linden going 1-2 with a hr. Robbie Cano was 1-3 and played 5 innings at second base. He handled two groundballs at second and turned a double play. He said he felt good, no pain and everything was perfect which is good news. Big Tex was 1-3 with his first hr of the spring and Austin Jackson also had a hr. Shelly Duncan had another hit to continue his hot spring he is hitting 407, Hideki Matsui was 0-3. The Yankees have now won 8 straight, maybe they should slow down a little and make sure they do this against Baltimore and KC when the season starts. The Yankees will host the Detroit Tigers tomorrow with Joba getting the start at 1:15pm.
