Making his Grapefruit League debut against the Phillies, Andy Pettitte threw two scoreless innings in the Yankees' 7-7 tie on Sunday, enjoying a warm reception in New York's first home exhibition game against Major League competition.
"He didn't look sharp the first inning, and you don't expect him to the first time out," manager Joe Girardi said. "But the second inning, he looked really sharp. The sinker was outstanding and he mixed in a couple of curveballs and changeups. Everything was down.
Pettitte struck out one, walked one, picked off a runner with his trademark pick off move and induced an inning-ending double play in the first. He threw 13 of 21 pitches for strikes.
“All in all, I was real happy,” he said. “It definitely was a good day.”
Jason Giambi had four RBIs for the Yankees. He hit a three-run homer off Cole Hamels in the first and added an RBI double in the third.
