Yankees-Braves 1:15 on YES (3/11)
The Yankees take on the Atlanta Braves at Legends Field today, in a 1:15 start. Chien-Ming Wang gets the start for the Bombers. The game will be televised on YES.
Injury Update
Carl Pavano threw 37 pitches off of the bullpen mound during the Yankees-Reds game on Friday. Next up will be a chance to throw batting practice and simulate game conditions.
Jason Giambi will most likely remain out of the lineup until early next week due to his strained left calf.
Update 6:20
The Yankees topped the Atlanta Braves 7-3 this afternoon behind a strong outing by starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang. Wang who struggled in his previous start, had his heavy sinker falling sharply off the table. Wang threw just 37 pitches while striking out four and allowing one hit.
The Yankee hitters reached Braves starter Horacio Ramirez for a pair of runs in the second. The Yankees loaded the bases on singles by Andy Phillips and Mitch Jones, and a walk to Melky Cabrera. Marcos Vechionacci followed with an RBI single through the right side. Miguel Cairo's double play ball drove in the second run of the inning.
Jorge Posada's 3-run blast off of Travis Smith highlighted a four run fifth inning that broke the game open, 6-0. It was Posada's 2nd home run of the spring. All three Braves runs came off the bat Jarrod Saltalamacchia's home run off of Matt Smith in the sixth.
Aaron Small worked 2 2-3 scoreless innings before allowing two runners to reach prior to Saltalamacchia's blast. Mariano Rivera, Kyle Farnsworth, and Ron Villone each worked a scoreless inning.
Notes
Robinson Cano continued his good hitting spring with a single and a double. Tony Pena Jr., son of Yankees 1st base coach Tony Pena, started at shortstop for the Braves. Bubba Crosby, who has been bothered by a sore index finger, entered the game in the sixth as a defensive replacement. He produced an RBI single in his only at-bat.
Tanyon Sturtze will make his first game appearance on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians.
The Yankees reassigned pitchers Philip Hughes and Darrell Rasner, catcher Jason Brown, infielder Danny Garcia, and outfielder Chris Prieto to their minor league camp.
