The Yankees survived a scare tonight when A.J. Burnett took a ball off his left forearm. However, he stayed in the game and pitched 3 1/3 innings. He allowed three hits, one earned run and three walks, while striking out one in the Yankees 7-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Brian Bruney was a negative, as he walked four and surrendered two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings.
Mariano Rivera restored order when he retired the side in order in the sixth on five pitches.
Offensively, the Yankees had 14 hits as a team, but only Nick Swisher had a multi-hit game. Eduardo Nunez hit a two-run home run in the eighth. Ramiro Pena, Jorge Posada, Kevin Cash and Swisher each had one double, and Xavier Nady hit a triple.
Phil Hughes will start for the Yankees tomorrow afternoon in Fort Myers against the Twins at 1:05 p.m.

I wish I could see more of Phil Hughes on tv this spring. Once the season starts it could be a couple of months before we see him again.
