NYY@WSH: McCann connects for a two-run homer
3/23/15: Brian McCann drives a Doug Fister pitch for a two-run homer, giving the Yankees a 3-0 lead in the top of the 3rd inning
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Young dials up power -- twice: The Yankees outfielder belted his first two homers of the spring, starting with a solo homer to lead off the fifth inning against Fister to tie the game at 4. Young went deep again in the sixth inning, hammering a line drive down the left-field line off right-hander Casey Janssen for a two-run homer that gave the Yankees a 6-4 advantage.

Escobar in form in debut: Nationals second baseman Yunel Escobar played his first game of the spring and showed that he is over his Grade 1 oblique strain. He went 1-for-2 with an infield single and made a great diving play in the third inning. Brett Gardner hit a ground ball to Escobar, who dove to his right to throw out Gardner, but Rob Refsnyder scored on the play.

Prospect Ward gets surprise: Drew Ward received quite the shock when he was told that he was leaving the Minor League side for a day to play with the big league team. He went 1-for-2 with an infield single in the second inning off Mitchell. The Nationals needed an extra player to rest Ian Stewart, who needed the day off. Stewart had played every day since Anthony Rendon went down with an MCL sprain in his left knee. Ward is considered the third baseman of the future. Last year, he played for Class A Hagerstown and hit .269 with 10 home runs and 73 RBIs. The Nationals are expecting his power to develop in a few years.
ON THE INJURY FRONT
Ellsbury setting sights on Opening Day: Jacoby Ellsbury reported improvement in his strained right oblique, and the Yankees' outfielder said his next step will be to resume hitting and throwing. Ellsbury expressed confidence that his name will appear in the New York lineup on Opening Day.
DECISIONS LOOMING
For starters, who's fifth? The candidates for the final spot in the Yankees' rotation might have their final opportunity to impress manager Joe Girardi this week. The Yankees are considering a number of candidates -- including Adam Warren, Chase Whitley and Esmil Rogers, who will start Tuesday against the Tigers. Mitchell also has an outside chance.

Girardi has said he would like to make a decision by the end of the week.
