The Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 8-7 on Tuesday afternoon.
Here are the key takeaways...
-- The Yankees were in business right away thanks to a Trent Grisham single and an Aaron Judge walk to lead off the first inning. Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. then notched back-to-back base hits to give the Yankees a quick 2-0 lead.
-- Bellinger, fresh off signing a new multi-year deal to remain in the Bronx, has looked very comfortable at the dish in the early part of spring. With two hits on Tuesday, he now has a 1.334 OPS.
-- Paul Goldschmidt extended the Yanks' lead in the third inning with a towering two-run blast off of Tyler Rogers. Goldschmidt’s homer caromed high off the batter’s eye in center, traveling an estimated 415 feet with a 108.5 mph exit velocity.
Goldschmidt delivered again in the fifth, roping an RBI double into the corner in left. Again, it's early, but Goldschmidt has posted a 1.333 OPS during the spring.
--Righty Will Warren, who could feature prominently in the Yankees' starting rotation as Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon get up to speed, had a solid showing on the mound. Warren went 2.2 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits. He struck out four, did not walk a batter, and threw 36 of his 49 pitches for strikes.
-- It was a good day for the Yankees regulars overall, as Grisham, Judge, Bellinger, Chisholm, and Goldschmidt all made their way into the hit column. The only typical starter without a hit was Austin Wells, who went 0-for3 and remains hitless this spring.
