The Yankees sent only 29 batters to the plate, two over the minimum, in getting the win. โ€œHe was outstanding,โ€ Cash said. โ€œIt was as good…

Start with Odorizzi, who battled…

For the Tampa Bay Rays, spring training sprang on Wednesday afternoon. Now, all that remains is to dissect the results. Yes, the Rays lost, 6-2 to Washington.
