Troy Tulowitzki hit a home run against his former team as the Yankees beat the BlueJays.
Canadian Press February 25, 2019, 4:58 PM TAMPA, Fla. — Former Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki homered against his old team in his first at-bat since July 2017, leading the to a 3-0 win over Toronto in spring training action on Monday. Tulowitzki sent Marcus Stroman’s second pitch of the day over the right-field wall.
After he was cut, he signed a one-year deal with the Yankees for the major league minimum $555,000. Stroman gave up three hits — including another home run to Kyle Higashioka — and two runs in a two-inning spring debut as Toronto fell to 0-3. Left-hander James Paxton of Ladner, B.C., started for the Yankees in his New York debut, holding the Jays hitless, while walking two and striking out a pair in two innings. The Seattle Mariners traded Paxton to the Yankees during the off-season.
