TAMPA — The Yankees threw one of their wet-behind-the-ears relievers to some of the biggest and baddest baseball wolves during their March 23 spring training game in Dunedin.

What went down over this long inning, one in which the Jays roughed up Marinaccio for five unearned runs, became an important learning experience that helped key the Toms River product’s successful quest for a first big-league opportunity as a member of the Yankees’ season-opening bullpen.
