Pena, Posada, Swisher, Cabrera, and Matsui all had RBIs in this game.
Hideki is Strictly a DH Until July
Hideki Matsui is strictly a DH until July.
Not a surprise considering that they got a crowded outfield.
He hasn’t put his surgically repaired knee to the full test
yet. “I think it should be fine,” Matsui said through an
interpreter. “As long as I don’t have any setbacks and I
don’t have any huge problems with my knees, it’s not
something that I’m concerned about.” That quote from
yankees.com. He’s feeling well and has produced well from the
DH spot. So Godzilla is happy and this is the end of this
story. Yankees in 2009!!!!

CC pitched great, struck out 7 in 4 innnings of 1 run ball. Mariono Rivera making his first Spring appearance pitched a perfect inning, striking out 2 batters. Now to the Big Thunder of the Yankees. Hideki Matsui hit a 2-run double in the 1st inning to put the Yankees up early. Then later he hit a 2-run homer in the 3rd. Melky Cabrera had a RBI double, Ramiro Pena had a RBI single, and Posada had a RBI single.

Yankees defeat Twins in Spring Contest

Andy Pettitte was amazing today allowing only 2 hits over 3 scorless innings. Jorge Posada caught his first game of the spring and stroked two hits, while scoring a first-inning run on Hideki Matsui’s fielder’s choice. Melky Cabrera doubled and scored on a Ramiro Pena single for the Yankees’ second run, and Mark Teixeira added a sacrifice fly in the third inning. Angel Berroa gave the Yankees some breathing room with a two-run double in the sixth. Infielder Doug Bernier left the game after being taken out with a hard slide at second base in the second inning.
