BY SCOTT LAUBERST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Meanwhile, about 20 miles away in Tampa ...
... Brad Lidge just completed a scoreless eighth inning for Class A Clearwater against the Yankees' Florida State League club at Steinbrenner Field. He allowed a one-out walk to Kevin Smith but got Matthew Cusick to pop out and Luis Nunez to ground out, ending the inning.
More in a bit, hopefully with information on how Lidge's right knee felt.
(Updated, 10:35 p.m.): According to Ruben Amaro Jr., Lidge threw 12 pitches (8 fastballs, 4 sliders). Pro scout Del Unser watched Lidge and gave Amaro a positive report. "He did pretty well, and I think he was pretty pleased with his outing," Amaro said. "We'll reconvene tomorrow morning to decide if he'll go out there for another stint or not."
