This was a perfect spring game in my opinion. It was tidy, quick, and the stars atop the Yankee order looked ready for Opening Day. The starter, perhaps thrust unceremoniously into the rotation to start the season, also impressed in the Yankees 6-2 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.
If Jhony Brito really is the answer to the fifth starter question, he had a pretty good audition today. A strong 5.1 innings of perfect ball with nary a hit or walk allowed against a lineup that featured at least six Blue Jays who will make major contributions this year will play — and striking out the top of the order in the first inning, all on a pretty impressive changeup — had to raise a few eyebrows in the org.
