Yanks Lose Spring Training Opener

Opening Night of MLB The Show and my dynasty begins. I'm using the default roster and play only manage mode only (which to this point looks like it might be a mistake, as I'll explain).

The Yankees came back from a 2 run deficit in the eighth to tie it, on a Chris Young home run, only to lose the lead in the bottom of the inning when Esmil Rogers gave up 2 hits and a squeeze play to give the Phillies a late 4-3 lead.

The Yankees struck back, however, in the top of the 9th. Down to their last out, with no one on base, Didi Gregorius singled to center, and scored when pinch hitter John Ryan Murphy doubled to left. Luis Martinez then singled to put men on the corners, but Alex Rodriguez grounded weakly to the pitcher to end the threat.

The game would remain tied at 4 until the bottom of the 11th inning when Rupp led off the inning with a single to center. Nelson then bunted for a single on a sacrifice attempt. Nelson bunted down the first base line, but 2B Cole Figueroa was late covering and Garrett Jones awkwardly held the ball despite actually being able to tag the runner. Sizemore then walked to load the bases, and the winning run scored on the second CPU squeeze play of the game. Admittedly, I was a bit frustrated with the outcome, but I'm wondering if there's a huge hole in the bunt defense AI.
