New York Yankees 4 — Pittsburgh Pirates 7
CC Sabathia started today’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates and went 2 innings while striking out 1 and giving up 1 run on 3 hits. The pitcher who followed the ace of the staff is a starting pitcher competing for the 5th spot in the rotation, Phil Hughes. Unfortunately for Hughes, this was not a spring debut that he enjoyed. Hughes could not even last his intended 2 innings of work as he just went 1.1 and surrendered 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits.
The Yankees offense was hard to find as David Adams was responsible for 2 of the 4 runs. The other runs were brought in on outs by Francisco Cervelli and Robinson Cano.
Win – Chris Resop (1-0)
Loss – Phil Hughes (0-1)
