Blue Jays 4 Yankees 3

That makes us 20-4 on the spring.

Nice start for Kyle Drabek. He looked good, had the curve working. He went 5 innings, 5 hits, 2 walks. 5 strikeouts. Has a 3.14 ERA on the spring. He did get lucky when a long long hit by Andruw Jones went foul. ARod and Teixeira each had hard hit doubles off him but not much else was hit hard.

Relievers:

Janssen: 1 inning, 1 k.

Cordero: 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 earned, 1 k.

Santoes: 1 inning, 1 walk, 1 k.

Aaron Loup: 1 inning, 2 runs, 1 earned, 1 k.

On the offensive side Kelly Johnson and Brett Lawrie each went 2 for 3, each with a triple, Brett had a double too. We only had 3 more hits, Colby Rasmus and Jon Diaz had singles. Future Hall of Famer, Yan Gomes, had a double Yan has had a nice spring. It's always good to show well in front of the manager of the major league team, but, no matter how many of Wilner's twitter followers think so, he's not going to be in Toronto any time soon.

Tomorrow we are back to an afternoon game. The Orioles come to Dunedin. It will be on MLB Audio. Brett Cecil gets the start.

The big news of the day is that Adam Lind was a late scratch with a sore back. He'll be out for at least 3 days. It's too bad, since he'd been hitting the ball well the last couple of games.
