TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter got a partial standing ovation Thursday before going hitless in two at-bats in the first spring training game of his final season, a New York Yankees’ 8-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Yankees captain, who turns 40 in June, hit a double-play grounder to second off Pittsburgh right-hander Charlie Morton in the first and grounded out to third during the fourth against left-hander Jeff Locke.

Morton walked one, had one strikeout and didn’t allow a hit over two scoreless innings.

“I threw a couple really good front door sinkers to lefty’s,” Morton said. “That’s something I need to do to be effective against lefty’s. I’ve got to move the sinker around.”

Morton went 7-4 last season after missing all of spring training and not making his first regular-season start until June 13 following right elbow surgery.

Locke gave up one hit in two scoreless innings.
