Reds Beat Yanks In Slugfest 13-11

Today was not a good one for the pitchers. Every Yankee allowed at least one run, only Mark Melancon didn't allow an earned run.

On the other hand the Yankees bats did show up, pounding out 11 runs on 19 hits. Robinson Cano 3-for-3 with a double, a homer, 4 RBI and a run scored.

Derek Jeter also went 3-for-3 with three singles and two runs scored.

Brett Gardner hit his second homer of the spring along with a double, drove in a run and scored one.

Alex Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI.

Mark Teixeira went 2-for-3 with a run scored. And Kevin Cash also went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored.

John Rodriguez also hit a homer on the day. For the rest of the Yankees offense check the box score below.

On the injury front, Jonathan Albaladejo left the game in the third after being hit on the back of the leg by a batted ball. He has a bruise and is day-to-day. Jesus Montero also left the game in the 8th after allowing a passed ball. Apparently he injured his leg.
