Jukich picks up win against Yankees

Duluth native Ben Jukich picked up a victory in his first official spring training action on Monday in the Cincinnati Reds’ 13-11 victory over the New York Yankees.

Jukich pitched a scoreless seventh inning. He yielded a hit and walk, but he got out of the inning with a strikeout and two flyouts. This is Jukich’s third spring training, but it is the first time he has been invited to big-league camp.
