New York Yankees 11 — Houston Astros 9
Five home runs helped power the Yankees to an 11-9 win over the Houston Astros in today’s game. Robinson Cano and Raul Ibanez each hit a two-run home run in the 5th inning to play a role in the win. Prospect Dante Bichette Jr. also supplied power as he hit two solo home runs in his only two at-bats of Spring so far. The offense looks prepared for the regular season as Curtis Granderson had 3 hits and Mark Teixeira had 2 hits.
Adam Warren was the benefactor of the display of power as he got the win despite giving up 6 runs on 10 hits, including 2 home runs. The game ended early because of rain.
Win – Adam Warren (1-0)
Loss – Jordan Lyles (0-3)
Save – Preston Claiborne (1)
