A-Rod bugs out

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Yankees dropped an 8-7 decision to the Cincinnati Reds Thursday and that left the team from the Bronx slightly bugged.

In the bottom of the fifth inning a swarm of bees crossed the infield, sending Yankees fielders scurrying for foul territory to avoid getting stung and delaying the game for several minutes.

“I’ve never seen that before,” third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. “I was actually pretty scared. It was thick.”

The game also saw the first appearance of Bobby Abreu in the outfield for the Yankees after straining a muscle in his side last month. Abreu had a three-run homer in the loss.

Carl Pavano was inconsistent, giving up two runs on eight hits and two walks in only 4 1/3 innings.
