Pettitte has strong outing as Yanks top Royals
Baseball Betting Lines
04/10/2009 -
Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Pettitte scattered three hits and one
run through seven innings, as the New York Yankees topped Kansas City, 4-1, in
the opener of a three-game set.
Pettitte (1-0) held his foes in check with six strikeouts and one walk, en
route to his 216th career victory.
Jorge Posada knocked in a pair of runs for the Yankees, who evened their
record after losing two-of-three at Baltimore to start the season. Nick
Swisher and Derek Jeter also added RBI.
Mike Jacobs knocked in the lone run for the Royals, who opened their season by
winning two-of-three in Chicago against the White Sox.
Sidney Ponson (0-1), who was called up from Triple-A to start the game and
fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Jose Guillen, was charged with six
hits and four runs over six innings, fanning five with three walks.
The Yanks got to Ponson early, putting up two runs in the first on a sizzling
two-RBI base hit from Posada. The Royals countered in the home second, on a
two-out walk to Billy Butler followed by a double from Jacobs.
In the fourth, New York picked up two more runs courtesy of a Swisher double
to plate Robinson Cano and a fielder's choice grounder by Jeter to plate
Swisher.
Kansas City's best chance to cut into its deficit came in the fifth, as Butler
led off with a double. However, the next three batters were retired in
succession without advancing the runner.
Pettitte closed out his start by retiring nine of the final 10 batters he
faced from the fifth through the seventh.
Brian Bruney fanned a pair while blanking the Royals in the eighth, then
Mariano Rivera closed out the game with a scoreless ninth to earn his first
save of the season.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
