Phil Hughes started the other game for the Yankees and was a bit shaky. In three innings he allowed two runs - both on solo homers - on two hits, walked three, and struck out two. The homers were hit by Nyjer Morgan and Ryan Doumit. He threw 56 pitches, 27 of them for strikes.

Ian Kennedy picked up the win for the Yanks. He pitched two innings, allowing one unearned run on three hits, walked one, and struck out five.

Jonathan Albaladejo had a 1-2-3 inning, and struck out a batter.

Christian Garcia gave up two unearned runs in on two hits and a walk in one inning.

Mark Melancon has his first bad outing of the spring, getting knocked around for five runs on six hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.

David Robertson picked up the save by retiring the only batter he faced for the final out of the game.

It was a big day for the Yankees top two offensive prospects. Austin Jackson went 2-for-4 with homer, two RBI, and stolen base and three runs scored. And Jesus Montero went 1-for-1 with a grand slam. The homer was his first of the spring.

Ramiro Pena didn't get a hit, but he did draw a walk, stole a base, scored a run, and drove in two.

Kevin Russo, Shelley Duncan, and Doug Bernier each drove in a run.
