TAMPA, Fla — The Yankees will take on the Toronto Blue Jays for the second time this spring. Earlier this week, the Yankees won 8-7 against Toronto in Dunedin. Today, the Yankees will send depth arm Paul Blackburn to the mound, opposing right-hander Jose Berrios.
Key notes coming into todays’s game:
-
Spencer Jones makes his first start in LF while batting 9th
-
Aaron Judge has very good numbers vs Berrios hitting 4 home runs with a 1.195 OPS in 30 career at-bats
-
Paul Goldschmidt looking to continue his hot Spring start, hitting all of his homers off pretty good righties
-
Paul Blackburn looking to catch more eyes to be seen as a legitimate multi-inning arm out of this very good bullpen
-
Amed Rosario was scratched from the lineup due to WBC travel.
