Observations from the Yankees’ spring training game Sunday.
Wade Across
As he fights to secure his spot on the 26-man roster, Tyler Wade had a solid day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a hard double and an RBI single. The infielder entered Sunday batting 3-for-22.
Streak Over
Lefty Lucas Luetge, who is battling for a spot in the bullpen, allowed his first runs of spring training after giving up just four hits through his first 6 ¹/₃ innings. He was taken deep for a pair of solo home runs by Teoscar Hernandez and Kevin Smith.
Caught My Eye
The Yankees jumped on Tanner Roark and chased him with one out in the first inning, leading 4-0. But the Blue Jays starter returned in the second inning, tossed a scoreless frame and then got tagged for three more runs in the third inning. Only in spring training 2021.
