FORT MYERS, Fla. -- What could possibly be controversial about a 4-4 tie in spring training?

Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine found something, objecting to New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi's decision to tell the umpires his team did not want to play extra innings. Valentine, meanwhile, had instructed reliever Clayton Mortensen to warm up for the 10th.

"It was regretful that Mortensen warmed up and we were told we were not playing any extra innings," Valentine said. "I didn't think that was very courteous."

When a New York reporter told Valentine that Girardi said he wanted to preserve his pitching and the Yankees "had a long day tomorrow," Valentine wasn't buying it.

"They had plenty of pitching," Valentine said. "Probably too long of a ride."

The bus ride from Fort Myers to the Yankees' complex in Tampa takes between 2-2 ½ hours.

The Yankees' scheduled starter, David Phelps, had been scratched after his wife went into a labor. He was replaced by nonroster right-hander Adam Warren, the first of five pitchers Girardi used in the game.

He used three pitchers in the last two innings, when the Red Sox rallied from a 4-0 deficit to tie the score, the tying run coming across on a suicide squeeze executed by outfielder Jason Repko.
