New York Yankees Recap: Boone returns, Yankees lose a squeaker

Today, the New York Yankees traveled to Bradenton, Florida, for their first spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bradenton is about 50 miles south of Steinbrenner Field. The Yankees this year are playing only west coast teams as the coronavirus is still a concern. Those teams are the Pirates, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Detroit Tigers, and the Toronto Blue Jays. The game marked the return of manager Aaron Boone after his pacemaker surgery. The game today was delayed by rain for about an hour and ten minutes. The Yankees lost the game 3-2 to the Pirates.
