Paul Blackburn, a right-hander for the New York Yankees, performed well in a four-inning spring outing against the Phillies. Blackburn has returned to the team after a difficult period in which he was split from The Bronx and Queens. Luis Gil, another right-wing pitcher, saw his velocity increase from his previous spring starts and improved his performance. The Yankees are set to face the Blue Jays at 6:30pm.
