TAMPA, Fla. – Drew Hutchison was tagged for six runs in the first inning Tuesday as the New York Yankees rolled to a 10-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in spring training baseball action.

Hutchison gave up a solo home run to DJ LeMahieu, a three-run homer to Josh Donaldson and a two-run shot to Estevan Florial before being replaced by Jay Jackson with just one out.

The Yankees lived up to their “Bronx Bombers” nickname, scoring all their runs via the longball.
