Yankees - Phils In-game Update

Yankees and Phils are tied 2-2 after 3 innings. Shawn Chacon threw 2 scoreless innings, retiring the first 5 hitters he faced. Sean Henn gave up the first gopher ball of the spring to Pat Burrell, with a man aboard, in the 3rd.

Johnny Damon 2-2 so far, including an RBI single. Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams each had base hits and scored the Yankees runs. Robinson Cano with the best defensive play of the game thus far, diving to his left, getting up and throwing the batter out at first. 2:20 PM

3:00 Update

Yankees have just taken a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 6th as Andy Phillips homered to right on the first pitch he faced. Henn retired the final 4 men he faced, before Aaron Small came on to throw two scoreless innings. My main man, Melky Cabrera, now playing centerfield.

3:30 Update

Mike Myers showed why he's a lefty specialist, getting hammered by the Phils' righties to the tune of 3 runs. J.B. Cox made his debut giving up a solo home run. Andy Phillips now 2-2, adding a single to the HR he hit earlier. Eric Duncan made his debut, hitting into a 4-6-3 double play. Phils lead 6-3, bottom 8.

Final Score

Phillies hung on for a 6-3 win. Matt Smith, whom the Yankees are very high on as a lefty reliever, pitched a very impressive 9th inning.
