World Baseball Classic: Canada Gets Past New York Yankees as Joba Chamberlain Chased in First Inning

New York Yankees converted starter Joba Chamberlain had a meltdown on the mound Thursday afternoon as he faced just five batters, walked four and gave up a hit without recording an out in a 6-0 loss to Canada in a World Baseball Classic exhibition.

Chamberlain was lifted in the first inning and charged with five runs, the final two coming when Jonathan Albaladejo came on in relief and gave up a two-run double to Matt Stairs. Stairs would eventually come around to score on a sacrifice fly to account for all six runs in the opening frame.

After the first inning flop the Yankees pitchers settled down allowing just two hits but Canada’s pitching was surprisingly strong as Scott Diamond tossed two hitless innings to start the game and New York’s bats never got started.

Canada opens their World Baseball Classic schedule on Saturday when they face the United States.
