TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Masahiro Tanaka allowed one hit over three shutout innings in his second spring training start, and the New York Yankees beat the winless Baltimore Orioles 7-1 Friday.

Coming off a procedure in October to remove a bone spur from his throwing elbow, Tanaka is lined up to start opening day on April 4 against Houston and AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel.

South Korean outfielder Hyun Soo Kim had a second-inning infield single in three at-bats for the Orioles, who dropped to 0-10-2.

Kim, 2 for 27, reached on an infield single in the seventh for his first hit in Thursday's 4-4 tie with a Yankees split squad.

Brian McCann had a two-run single in the first for the Yankees. Jacoby Ellsbury, 5 for 12 overall, also drove in two runs.
