TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees pitcher Freddy Garcia is taking a new approach at spring training.

Garcia is in camp with the Yankees for the first time. The 34-year-old right-hander says he’s never pitched that well in camp, but intends to change that this year.

Garcia said Friday that he needs to throw better to win one of two open spots in the Yankees’ rotation.

The two-time All-Star went 12-6 with a 4.64 ERA in 28 starts for the Chicago White Sox last season. He signed a minor league contract with the Yankees in the offseason.
