up two hits and no runs. He didn't walk
a batter and struck out three. Whitley
pitched two perfect innings with a couple of strikeouts. David Carpenter pitched an inning giving up
two hits and two runs with a walk and a strikeout, Justin Wilson pitched an
inning with a strikeout and Wilken Rodriguez saved his second game of the
spring pitching a perfect inning with a strikeout.
Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit, Slade
Heathcott had a hit and an RBI and Brett Gardner had a hit. Mark Teixeira drew a walk, Kyle Roller had a
hit and Brian McCann had an RBI. Chase
Headley had a hit and an RBI, Alex Rodriguez drew a walk and Greg Bird drew a
walk. Didi Gregorius drew a walk,
Ellsbury hit a triple and Headley hit a homerun. The Yankees were 1-5 with runners in scoring
position and left four men on base.
In the first McCann hit a sacrifice
fly to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. In
the seventh Domonic Brown hit an RBI single to tie the game at one. In the bottom of the seventh Headley hit a
solo homerun giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
Heathcott hit an RBI single to make it 3-1 in the seventh and then in
the eighth Andres Blanco hit an RBI groundout to make it a 3-2 game and that
was the final score.
The Yankees will have a rare off
day on Monday and then play again on Tuesday night at home in Tampa against the
Toronto Blue Jays. CC Sabathia will make
his spring debut in that game.
