Yankees-Pirates, top of eighth

Pirates reliever Sean Burnett will try to keep this two-hit shutout intact.
Pittsburgh president Frank Coonelly has a box seat behind the home dugout. Up to now, he likes what he's seen.
The beer man is making his last-call rounds as Burnett strikes out Chris Woodward, who might be in need of a cold one.
Burnett has done little wrong this spring and it would be no surprise if he accompanies the team north. Entering the fray, the left-hander had a 1.00 ERA with three hits allowed and seven strikeouts in nine innings.
A 1-2-3 inning here, and that sound down the left-field line is the Yankees' bus warming up. The 2000 first-round draft choice has not allowed a hit in his last seven appearances, covering eight innings.
That's called taking opportunity by the neck and seizing it.
