Pirates-Yankees, top of sixth

Jose Bautista leads off against Scott Patterson, a 6-foot-6 right-hander from Oakdale, Penn., a little bit west of Pittsburgh.
He gets Bautista to whiff on a pitch outside the strike zone.
The lack of offense since the second inning -- and the warmth and sunshine -- has turned this into a languid affair. The Yankees could be jolted to reality weather-wise next week, when they begin the season with a seven-game homestand against Toronto and Tampa Bay before heading to Kansas City and Boston.
They also play series in Baltimore, Chicago and Cleveland in April.
The Pirates probably won't hit the cold until April 7 and the home opener against Lou Piniella's Cubs.
