Pirates beat Yanks, 10-5
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Yankees manager Joe Girardi and his staff have made evaluating a pitcher's performance on more than just statistics a sort of mantra this spring. He stuck to that Sunday.
Take CC Sabathia's outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates in New York's 10-5 loss: 57 pitches, 29 strikes, 28 balls.
But here's what Girardi had to say about Sabathia's mechanics: "He was very sound today. He was good. He was really good today."
Sabathia struggled in his first two starts, giving up seven hits and five runs to the Pirates on Tuesday.
On Sunday, he needed 44 pitches to get through four innings — the one mistake a homer to Aki Iwamura. Sabathia left with an out in the fifth after Andy LaRoche lined a single that glanced off his glove.
After his last start, Sabathia said the back end of his motion was collapsing and that he was not at the point where he could make in-game adjustments.
