Jazz Chisholm Jr. drives in five, Will Warren roughed up in Yankees' win over Orioles
In their second and final meeting of Grapefruit League play, the Yankees defeated the rival Baltimore Orioles, 9-7, on Thursday night in Sarasota.
Here are the takeaways...
-- It didn't take long for the Yankees to produce offense. After a one-out walk from Aaron Judge and a line-drive single from Jasson Dominguez in the first inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. brought his teammates home with a deep two-run double off the right field wall.
-- Poised to claim a rotation spot, Will Warren made his fifth start (sixth appearance) of camp. The outing didn't start on a high note for the Yankees' fifth-overall prospect, as he gave up a mammoth solo homer to Ryan O'Hearn in the first. The blast was sandwiched between a strikeout, flyout, and groundout. New York led 2-1 after one.
-- Chisholm provided even more damage at the plate in his second at-bat. With two runners on and one out in the third, he crushed an inside fastball that landed well beyond the right-field wall for a three-run shot. It was Chisholm's third homer of the spring and second in as many games.
-- Warren didn't thrive with more breathing room in the bottom frame. He allowed back-to-back singles to Jackson Holliday and Cedric Mullins to open the third, and shortly thereafter, Adley Rutschman took a wheelhouse fastball deep to left for a three-run jack. The hard contact continued on the ensuing at-bats, but Warren escaped holding a 5-4 lead.
-- After the Yankees went down in order in the fourth, Warren returned to the mound. He allowed a leadoff walk, but recovered by striking out Holliday and forcing Mullins into a fielder's choice. That marked the end for Warren, who allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings. He built his pitch count up to 74.
-- Anthony Volpe joined the homer party in the sixth, crushing a breaking ball from Seranthony Dominguez for a solo shot to deep left-center. His third homer of camp and second hit of the night bumped the Yankees' lead to 6-4.
-- Ian Hamilton entered the sixth with a flawless 0.00 ERA across 8.1 innings this spring, but his seventh appearance of camp wasn't smooth sailing. He experienced the highs and lows, allowing one run on three hits while still striking out three. So much for that perfect ERA -- it now sits at 9.00.
-- Yerry De Los Santos, who's aiming to earn a bullpen spot, worked around a leadoff walk in the seventh by striking out two and inducing a groundout. He returned for one matchup in the eighth inning, and happened to strike out former Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez.
-- Ben Rice didn't bring his hot bat to Sarasota. As the Yankees' catcher, he went hitless in the leadoff spot across four at-bats. Cody Bellinger and Dominguez logged a single and run scored apiece across seven combined at-bats, while Oswaldo Cabrera singled once in three trips.
-- Judge failed to collect a hit in his 11th game of camp, but managed to get on base with a pair of walks and runs scored. It was also a quiet night at the plate for top prospect Spencer Jones -- he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
-- A group of Yankees farmhands produced a three-run eighth, as Omar Martinez delivered an RBI double and Brendan Jones drove in two with a single to center.
