The Yankees played a pair of (untelevised) split squad games today and they won them both. They’re now 5-1 this spring. Masahiro Tanaka threw two perfect innings at home against the Tigers, in his first outing of the Grapefruit League season. Gary Sanchez and Chris Carter both went deep, and Clint Frazier doubled in a pair of runs as well. Thairo Estrada also went yard again. The Summer of Thairo 2.0 is well underway. Here’s the box score for that game.
On the road against the Red Sox, Greg Bird smacked two home runs, pulling one to right and lifting the other over the faux Green Monster in left.
