Boston Red Sox 1 — New York Yankees 0
The 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox came on a costly error in right field that let the batter, Pedro Ciriaco, score the only run of tonight’s game. Ivan Nova started tonight’s game and exhibited control that didn’t reflect on his first 2 Spring outings. Nova went 4 scoreless innings with just 2 hits and 3 strikeouts without a walk. Mariano Rivera made his second Spring outing and continued to be dominant and pitched a perfect inning with 1 strikeout. Boone Logan also pitched a perfect inning against the big rivals of the American League East.
There isn’t much offense to speak of in a 1-0 game as the Yankees managed just 4 hits and didn’t get an extra-base hit. The Yankees were 0 for 2 with runners in scoring position.
Win – Vicente Padilla (1-0)
Loss – David Phelps (0-1)
Save – Junichi Tazawa (1)
