Pirates-Yankees, top of ninth

Holy cow--Pirates farmhand Kent Sakamoto just clubbed an opposite-field home run to right off Josh Schmidt. Sakamoto hit 14 homers last season at Single-A Hickory of the South Atlantic League. It's 5-1, Pirates.
That's only the 17th homer of the spring for Pittsburgh, compared to 34 for their opponents.
That is a disturbing statistic, if such a thing exists this time of year.
The Yankees leave after the game for south Florida, where they will meet the Marlins at Dolphin Stadium the next two evenings.
