Yankees 10, Phillies 5

Pavano's debut was a success. He pitched two innings, facing major leaguers and exited on his own accord. He allowed one run on two hits and walked two. His command wasn't great, but his breaking stuff was sharp and induced weak contact. For a guy who's been out so long, it was a good sign. Karstens followed Pavano with two scoreless innings and hyped young gun, Chase Wright struggled in two innings of work allowing a run on two hits and a pair of walks. Luis Viscaino allowed a run in an inning and Colter Bean had his second consecutive scoreless outing. Mike Myers, as his usual spring contribution, allowed three hits and two runs in two-thirds of an inning. He's on the roster to face one batter (a lefty) per outing, so him struggling shouldn't worry anyone, although I do view him as a waste of roster space. Kevin Whelan finished the ninth for Myers, picking up his second save.

The Yankees used fourteen singles and a double to push across ten runs. Melky Cabrera had a 3-for-3 day, Kevin Reese hit an RBI double and Raul Chavez had a two-run single.

The Yankees face the Tigers tomorrow on ESPN, with Kei Igawa scheduled to start.

-On a side note, I've still yet to get my MLB.TV up and running. I'm in the midst of downloading different versions of Windows Media Player but no luck yet. I shot an email to the support people and hopefully they'll get back to me soon and it'll work.
