Joba, Kennedy and Hughes romp


Yankees young pitching trio throw 5 scoreless innings in 11-4 win over South Florida




TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The New York Yankees' trio of touted young pitchers opened 2008 with shutout ball.
Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes combined for five scoreless innings to lead the New York Yankees past South Florida 11-4 on Friday.

The three, all 23 years old or younger, could wind up together in the Yankees' rotation at some point.

"They're on a journey. Their careers are under way," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "It will be fun to watch them tested every five days and see their growth spurt."
