Just three games into spring training, we’re still some ways away from the stuff that counts. Even so, some things stay constant regardless of whether the score actually matters. The Yankees made their first road trip of the spring, trekking up north to take on the Orioles in Sarasota. It’s only March 2nd, but the Yankees took care of the team they’ve gone 24-5 against the past two seasons like it was already the dog days of August. In a seven-inning spring special, the Yankees downed Baltimore 4-2.
With the starters in, the Yankee offense hummed, putting plenty of traffic on the bases.
