New York Yankees shutout the Philadelphia Phillies


The New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday afternoon.  The game took place at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Florida and the final score was 6-0.  James Paxton started for the Yankees and pitched well and Miguel Andujar and Estevan Florial each had two hits to pace the offense. 

Paxton pitched 3 1/3 innings giving up three hits and no runs with five strikeouts.  Adam Ottavino pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up a hit and he struck out three, Jonathan Holder pitched a perfect inning and Danny Farquhar pitched a perfect inning.  David Hale pitched two innings giving up a walk and striking out four. 

Andujar had two hits, Luke Voit drew two walks and Mike Ford had a hit and an RBI.  Greg Bird had a hit and drew a walk, Clint Frazier had an RBI and Florial had two hits and three RBI.  Thairo Estrada had a hit, Florial and Ford each hit a homerun and the Yankees were 1-8 with runners in scoring position and left four men on base.  Florial had a stolen base and Farquhar committed an error. 

In the fourth a wild pitch allowed Andujar to score and give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.  In the sixth Frazier hit a sac fly to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead and Florial hit a three-run homerun to push the lead to 5-0.  In the eighth Ford hit a solo homerun to make it a 6-0 game and that would be the final score. 

The Yankees record improved to 6-5 for the spring and they will be home in Tampa to take on the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
