Blue Jays 2 Yankees 3
The good news: Alek Manoah was amazing. 7 innings, just 2 hits and 1 walk with 5 strikeouts. Nice to see from him. My Twitter feed was full of dumb stuff like he should be.

Yankees 4, Phillies 0: Great pitching delivers Yanks spring win

Jordan Montgomery headlined a very strong pitching performance on Sunday afternoon in Tampa, with six pitchers combining to allow just nine baserunners against nine strikeouts in a 4-0 win over the Phillies. Apparently, the Yankees have adopted a Sunday Stripes motif for this spring, wearing their traditional home pinstripes for Sunday home games in lieu of their usual spring blues.
Monty worked three innings 42 pitches and touched 94 with his fastball. Critically for his approach, he engineered as many batted balls below 80 mph off the bat as he did balls above 95 mph, a good sign for his continued soft-contact skills.
