Farquhar fired a scoreless inning in Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Yankees, hitting Jacoby Ellsbury but also recording two strikeouts.
The veteran reliever came on in the eighth following a strong seven-inning stint by starter Chris Archer, and Farquhar set down Greg Bird and Matt Holliday on swinging strikeouts before plunking Ellsbury. However, he bounced back by promptly popping up Starlin Castro to end the inning. It was an encouraging start for the 30-year-old, who recorded 13 strikeouts over 11 spring frames but also generated a 4.91 ERA over his nine appearances.
