Baseball’s Savior

The Phillies topped the Yankees 6-3 in the Bronx Bombers’ spring opener.  It wasn’t all bad though.  Johnny Damon doubled and singled.  Robinson Cano had an RBI single and Andy Phillips hit a solo homerun.  On the pitching side, Shawn Chacon looked sharp.  He got the first five Phillies out and ended the game with two scoreless innings.  Aaron Small also threw two shutout innings but Mike Myers was hit hard and gave up three runs.  Highlights are at MLB.com.  This will be Damon’s only game in pinstripes before he heads off to play in the WBC.

These two teams play each other again this afternoon.  Looks like a lot of home and homes this week.
