Yankees defeat Phillies 13-4

The Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 13-4 Monday night.

Notable performances:

• Phil Hughes: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 1 HR, 86 pitches for 54 strikes.
• Robinson Cano: 3-4, 1 HR, 1 3B, 5 RBI
• Derek Jeter: 3-4, 1 2B
• Shelley Duncan: 3-4, 1 RBI
• Melky Cabrera: 2-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI
• Jason Giambi: 2-2, 1 HR, 2 RBI
• Mariano Rivera: 1 IP, 1 BB, 3 K
• LaTroy Hawkins pitched his eighth scoreless inning of the spring.
• The Yankees had 19 hits.
  

Hughes certainly improved after his previous two starts. He apparently looked sharp and displayed good command, which is a great sign.

Ian Kennedy will face Paul Byrd tomorrow afternoon, as the Yankees travel to Winter Haven, Fla. to face the Cleveland Indians at 1:05 p.m.
