A 4-0 loss to the Phillies in a spring training game on Monday night.
What a fielding
Jameson Tillon has not pitched in an actual game since 2019, but his fielding intensified on Monday night after a 4–0 loss to the Phillies at the George M. Steinbrenner field. The Yankees’ starter made a pair of good plays from the mound on a bunt and a swinging bunt, firing first for both one and outs with bare hands.
Then
In other places, the Yankees defense did it almost once in the fourth inning. Jay Bruce was unable to pick up a pair of balls at first base – one on a low line drive that hit his glove, the other on a foul throw by Geo Urshela. Clint Frazier then lost a fly ball to the lights as it fell about 20 feet in front of him to allow a run.
caught my eye
Aaron Judge was robbed in a single in the sixth inning, when Ronald Torris made a diving stop in the shift and threw him out first. The judge impressed the former Yankees, but was left smiling at the defensive gem.
Tuesday show
