Vazquez allows 3 runs in 4 1-3 innings, Posada returns as Yankees beat minor league squad
Javier Vazquez allowed three runs and seven hits over 4 1-3 innings as the New York Yankees closed out spring training by beating their minor league Future Stars 9-6 Saturday.
Vazquez struck out two and walked one during an 80-pitch outing.
New York catcher Jorge Posada returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games because of a stiff neck. He caught three innings and had a long opposite-field double to left.
Most of the Yankees' position players left by the fourth after getting two plate appearances. New York opens the regular season Sunday night at Boston.
Robinson Cano hit a two-run double during the Yankees' three-run first. Marcus Thames had a fifth-inning solo homer.
