Spring training 2017: Yankees vs Phillies gamethread

Masahiro Tanaka has been absolutely dominant this spring, and he looks to continue that dominance in today’s outing against the Phillies. The Yankees’ ace and his teammates will travel to Clearwater for the afternoon start.

Many of the regulars are expected to make the trip, including Greg Bird, Starlin Castro, and Brett Gardner. It’s getting pretty late in the spring, so the normal crew of players should be starting more and more as they gear up for the 162-game grind ahead.

You can watch Tanaka be awesome (and maybe see some Bird dingers) on MLB.tv at 1:05 pm ET this afternoon.
