TAMPA — Yankees pitcher Freddy Garcia gave up one hit over three innings in a 3-0 win over the Braves on Friday.

The right-hander had two strikeouts and one walk.

“That’s vintage Freddy,” Girardi said. “Changed speeds, changed location. Used his split. Pretty much that’s Freddy.”

Garcia is competing for a rotation spot behind opening day starter CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda.

“He’s not afraid of adversity or any situation,” catcher Russell Martin said. “He goes out there. He gives his best effort. That’s what you’re expect from Freddy. He’s going to bring his ‘A’ game every time he’s out there.”

Nick Swisher had an opposite-field RBI double to deep left in the first inning.
