Andy Pettitte Makes Spring Debut


[font=lucida sans unicode']TAMPA — Derek Jeter wasn’t the only Yankee to return to the field Wednesday night.[/font]

[font=lucida sans unicode']Andy Pettitte made his spring debut, allowing one run over three innings as the Yankees beat the Phillies, 6-2, at Steinbrenner Field. Pettitte gave up four hits and walked three, striking out three during his 58-pitch outing.[/font]

“It’s just good to get back out there and see somebody in a different uniform,” Pettitte said. “Stuff-wise, I didn’t feel great. I felt like my command wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted, but it’s good it gives you something to work on for the next time out.”

[font=lucida sans unicode']Pettitte’s next start will come at the Yankees’ minor-league complex on Monday, when the Bombers have an off-day. He’ll make two more starts after that as he tunes up for the season.[/font]
