Yankees Spring Training Game 29: Home Runs Power the Win

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)
