BRADENTON, Fla. -- Danny
Farquhar took the mound in a game again. That was more than
enough on Saturday.
Farquhar's spring training
appearance for the New York
Yankees was his first game since the 32-year-old reliever
collapsed in the Chicago White
Sox dugout on April 20 because of a ruptured aneurysm and brain
hemorrhage. The right-hander got one out and was charged with five runs in an
8-7 loss to the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Farquhar allowed three hits and
walked two while throwing 19 pitches in the fourth inning. He is in camp with
the Yankees on a minor league deal.
Farquhar's teammates moved to the
top step of the third base dugout and clapped as he walked off the mound with
his glove held in his right hand.
Farquhar's wife, Lexie, and
children Madison (7), Landon (3) and Liam (1) were among a dozen family members
and friends at the game. Madison could be heard yelling "Daddy" from
the stands.
Corey
Dickerson had a triple and a double, driving in two runs for
Pittsburgh. Top prospect Ke'Bryan Hayes doubled and walked, scoring two
runs. Jordan Lyles struggled
in his second start for the Pirates, allowing three runs, seven hits and two
walks in three innings.
Estevan Florial, New York's top
prospect, had two doubles, driving in a run and scoring another. Miguel
Andujar had an RBI double and singled.
