Yankees Win Road Finale

The Yankees finale spring road trip ended well, as the Bombers beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3. Joba Chamberlain threw a very effective 5.1 innings and Melky Cabrera drove in three runs in this afternoon's contest in Sarasota.

Brett Gardner added three hits and Angel Berroa had a pair in a sloppily played ball game. The two teams combined for seven errors. The Yankees pen did the job again though, allowing one unearned run in 3.2 innings.

The Yankees are back at home in Tampa tomorrow to take on the Phillies.

Box Score

Nice Joba

Good day for Joba Chamberlain; he ran out of gas in the 6th, but pitched a smooth first five innings. In the sixth, he walked a pair and gave up a pair of RBI singles.

His line for the day:

5.1 IP 5 H 2 ER 3 BB 6 K

Brian Bruney, pitching better of late, got the final 2 outs in the sixth.

The Daily Yankeeland - 3/31

The last day of March is here, which means opening day is less than a week away. The Yankees are in Sarasota today to play the Cincinnati Reds at 1:05 pm. Joba Chamberlain will be starting for the Yankees. We'll try to Twitter as much of today's game as we can.

Believe it or not, Joba's arraignment on DUI charges has been postponed for a 4th time. In this case it's only for a day though, so Joba can pitch this afternoon.

Beginning May 4, the Yankees will offer tours of the new Yankee Stadium to anyone willing to fork over $20. The money will be going to charity.

1998 Superman Shane Spencer is now a minor league hitting coach for the San Diego Padres.

Former Yankees pitcher Ross Ohlendorf, included in the Xavier Nady/Damaso Marte trade, has made the Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation. He's allowed just 2 earned runs in 20.2 spring innings.

The Yankees Single-A affiliate, Charleston River Dogs, are working in conjunction with "Teacher’s Supply Closet" to help educators in the area. The Teachers Supply Closet assists educators in getting school supplies to children who can't afford them. The River Dogs are running a program to exchange $1 seats for anyone donating school supplies at their games.

The YES Network grabbed 13 Emmy Awards in ceremonies held Sunday night. It included 5 awards for the Yankeeography series.

Here's some info on Yankee Stadium catering (we weren't awake enough to read it).
