Will Warren impresses as Yankees power past Phillies in spring home finale
Warren dominated, Judge homered, and the Yankees responded late in the final spring game in Tampa.
Will Warren has set the tone this spring, and his final tune-up did not disappoint, as the Yankees defeated the Phillies 6-2 on Sunday afternoon. In what turned into an eventful first inning, Warren had to work around a leadoff double by Kyle Schwarber. After the extra-base hit, Warren leaned on both his stuff and a little help from the challenge system.
J. T. Realmuto had a borderline pitch called a ball, but catcher J.
C. Escarra quickly signaled for a review. The call was overturned, giving Warren his first strikeout of the afternoon.
Bryce Harper followed with a challenge of his own the following at bat on a called strike and lost, then grounded out to move Schwarber to third, briefly putting pressure back on the Yankees’ right-hander. With a runner 90 feet away, Warren went right back to work. After getting ahead in the count, he turned to the ABS system himself when a two-strike pitch at the top of the zone was called a ball.
