New York Yankees 5 — Miami Marlins 2
A two-run double by Alex Rodriguez played a large role in tonight’s 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. The Yankees third baseman drove in 3 of the 5 runs in tonight’s game. Marlins starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano didn’t help his cause as he had 7 walks in his 4 innings of work.
Hiroki Kuroda had his final Spring start as he prepares to start his first season as a New York Yankee. The 2nd starter of the staff went 3 innings and gave up just one run in the first inning. Another noteworthy appearance was Phil Hughes in relief as he is preparing to enter the upcoming season as the 3rd starter of the staff. Hughes went 4 scoreless innings with 4 strikeouts with 5 hits. David Robertson finished the game with 2 strikeouts in a perfect 9th inning.
Win – Rafael Soriano (1-0)
