In exactly one month, the Yankees will be opening up the season against the Boston Red Sox in the Bronx. But for now, more Spring Training baseball as today, the Yanks (1-6) will take on the Phillies (2-3-1)Â at George M. Steinbrenner field in Tampa.
In a good pitching matchup, Hiroki Kuroda gets his first start of the spring against the Phils’ Roy Halladay. Kevin Youkilis is back in the lineup after sitting out for most of the week with cramps and tightness in his oblique. Francisco Cervelli gets the start at catcher, and it’s Melky Mesa’s turn to impress in left-field. Here is the rest of the lineup.
