Yankees Win 2-0, Hold Jays Hitless

Phil Hughes, Scott Patterson, Kei Igawa, and Billy Traber combined to throw a rain-shortened, 5-inning perfect game vs. the Blue Jays today.

Pitching Totals	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Hughes (W, 1-0)	1.0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0.00
Patterson (H, 2)	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	0.00
Igawa (H, 1)	2.0	0	0	0	0	2	0	0.00
Traber (S, 1)	1.0	0	0	0	0	3	0	0.00

Not that I expect anything from him, but I'm glad Igawa was able to bounce back from his rough outing vs. USF. He did face mostly minor leaguers today, but then again, facing college kids the other day didn't seem to help him much.

Billy Traber was also impressive striking out the side in the bottom of the 5th.

Offensively the Yankees were again led by Shelley Ducan, who was 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI. Duncan is now batting .667 for the spring. The second Yankees run was driven in by Melky Cabrera who was 1-for-1 with an RBI, and is currently hitting .600. Bobby Abreu was also 1-for-1 and raised his spring average to .714.
