Yankees Bats Shine As Yankees Beat Phillies in Opener

The Yankees bats came alive in Clearwater, Florida as the Yankees beat the Phillies by the final score of 9-3. The Yankees' Shelly Duncan, Alex Rodriguez, Jesus Montero and Wilson Betemit. The Yankees got their Grapefruit League action going with Chien-Ming Wang as the starter. Wang dealt two scoreless innings and gave up only one hit. Shelly Duncan had a great day at the plate as he finished with one home run, a double and 5 RBI's. Shelly is competing for the first base job with Jason Giambi and he definitely got his season off to a good start. The Yankees will play tomorrow in their first home game at George M. Steinbrenner Field tomorrow at 1:00 PM on YES.
Here is a picture of Wang from today's game:
