The Yankees lost their second straight Grapefruit League game this afternoon, falling 3-0 to the Tigers. Vinnie Pestano served up a three-run homer to Miguel Cabrera for the day’s only offense. Didi Gregorius, Brian McCann, and Dustin Ackley each had one hit. Didi doubled and drew the team’s only walk. Starlin Castro and Aaron Hicks were both 0-for-3.
Bryan Mitchell struck out two in two hitless and scoreless innings. He did walk and a hit a batter. James Kaprielian retired all six batters he faced with two strikeouts, and one scout told Erik Boland he was sitting 94-96 mph.
