ago that New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was named to his fifth All-Star team Dave Cash Jersey , but playing in the Bronx means he lives in a "What have you done for me lately?" world.If he didn't know that before this weekend, he certainly does now.Chapman entered Saturday's game against the New York Mets with a four-run lead in the ninth. He faced a total of five batters, throwing 19 pitches, with only three finding the strike zone. His final line? 0.0 innings pitched, one hit, three walks, one hit by pitch and three runs allowed. That ugly outing led to him getting booed off the mound.For as many strikeouts as the hard-throwing southpaw piles up, he has always been prone to wildness. He has walked 4.0 batters per nine frames in his career and now has 19 in 40 innings this season.Chapman pulled out of Tuesday's All-Star game due to tendinitis in his left knee. Rather than blame the injury for his struggles, the 30-year-old called it "just a bad day," via the Yes Network:After all, he entered the day with a 1.35 ERA, a 0.825 WHIP and 26 saves in 27 opportunities. He had not allowed a run since July 1.As a result of his latest outing http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-pat-neshek-jersey , his earned run average ballooned above 2.00 (2.03, to be exact) for the first time since April.Fortunately for Chapman,Chasen Shreve was able to come in and save the day for the Yankees on Saturday, closing the door on a 7-6 victory. That helped minimize the impact of the rough outing.Yankees manager Aaron Boone will need to keep an eye on Chapman for the time being. While it was only an exhibition that the reliever missed because of the knee injury, this was his first outing of the second half. If the Yankees are going to raise banner No. 28, having their shutdown closer healthy and effective will be key.New York (63-34) currently sits five games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East, but it also has an 8.5-game lead in the wild-card race. That means the Yankees could take a cautious approach if it means getting Chapman healthy, should his struggles continue. FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The sun came out in Arizona. Free agents played for their new teams. Ichiro Suzuki was back in uniform at age 45.Baseball is back.A day after the scheduled exhibition opener was rained out, baseball returned to the ballparks of Florida and Arizona on Friday with the first spring training games.The World Series champion Boston Red Sox began their hoped-for journey to a second straight title with a 6-0 victory over Northeastern University. The Phillies — still without Bryce Harper, at least for now — beat Tampa Bay 3-2. The Tigers topped Southeastern University of Florida 12-2. Suzuki started what may be his final spring training with a two-run, two-out single in the third inning of the Seattle Mariners‘ 8-1 win over the Oakland Athletics.“It’s a good start to spring training Aaron Nola Jersey ,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after dispatching the Huskies in the regularly scheduled seven innings in a tight 1 hour, 45 minutes, a day before the Grapefruit League opener against the New York Yankees. “It will be good to start playing” against major league teams.Spring training has long been seen as the unofficial end to winter, but that was postponed when the Mariners and Athletics were rained out of their opener on Thursday. The teams, which got the early start in order to prepare for the regular season opener in Japan — were back at it on Friday.Ichiro prepared with Mariners for his 19th major league season (to go with nine in the Japan). Batting seventh and playing left field, Suzuki fouled out in the second inning against Liam Hendriks and singled in the third off left-hander Ryan Buchter. Suzuki then was replaced by a pinch runner. He did not have any chances in the field.“Of course you have nerves, but this was one I hadn’t experienced before, the nerves that I had today,” Suzuki said through an interpreter. “I’m just glad the first day’s out of the way.”Many other big name stars sat out as they eased into the daily grind.Manny Machado slipped on a Padres uniform after signing his $300 million, 10-year contract; San Diego opens its spring training schedule on Saturday.Harper was hoping for a similar deal, with the Phillies the favorites to sign him. But he remained among more than three dozen free agents who had not yet been signed, leading players to accuse teams of possible collusion. (The owners say they have simply are making judgments based on analytics.)Here’s a look around the ballparks on Friday:—Bobby Dalbec hit a fly ball off the top of the fence in center field to give Boston the lead Juan Samuel Jersey , and Jagger Rusconi and Tyler Dearden tripled for the Red Sox. Mike Shawaryn pitched two scoreless innings, striking out two, and Darwinzon Hernandez fanned three in two innings for Boston, which will face the New York Yankees in the Grapefruit League opener on Saturday.—In Charlotte, Florida, Scott Kingery tripled and scored on a throwing error by shortstop Willy Adames, and Maikel Franco homered for the Phillies. Jason Coats homered to make it 3-2 in the sixth inning, three Philadelphia relievers pitched a scoreless inning of relief to close it out.—In Lakeland, Florida, Jake Rogers, Daniel Pinero and Brandon Dixon homered, and Kyle Funkhouser struck out four in two innings for the Tigers.The Red Sox held a moment of silence before the game for Boston Globe sports writer Nick Cafardo http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-pat-neshek-jersey , who covered the team for most of three decades before he died on Thursday after collapsing at the ballpark. The team placed a dozen red roses at Cafardo’s seat in the press box; the Baltimore Orioles‘ beat writers and media-relations staff sent five dozen donuts, along with their condolences.In place of his usual pregame question and answer session with reporters, manager Alex Cora spoke for more than seven minutes about Cafardo and chose not to discuss any other topics.“That’s why I don’t get caught up in the whole game. It’s just a game, bro,” Cora said. “When you leave, that’s real. Life is real. Everything you have to do as a parent, as a husband, as a son, that’s real. This is just a game, man. We get caught up on the whole wins and losses and rivalries and whatever. Life is real, man.”Cora said he addressed the team in the morning and told them to enjoy the game — but understand it’s just a game. He recalled how Cafardo enjoyed Game 3 of last fall’s World Series, an 18-inning Robin Roberts Jersey , 7-hour, 20-minute Los Angeles Dodgers victory.“He loved the game,” Cora said. “Let’s just celebrate his life. Like I told the guys, just go out there and have a great day. … Let’s have a blast on the field.”Up the Florida coast in Tampa, Yankees manager Aaron Boone also opened his media session by remembering Cafardo.“One of the great things about our game is the relationships that you get to forge,” he said. “That’s one of those that rocks our baseball community. … It’s certainly a tough day in our baseball family.”
