TAMPA, Fla. (AP) _ Roger Clemens was roughed up in his first spring outing while Jose Lima looked strong Sunday as the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees 6-2.

The World Series champion Yankees played their regular lineup and slipped to 0-4 in exhibitions. They've been outscored 34-15 and have not held a lead in any game.

The Astros, who left Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio and Moises Alou back in camp, are 3-0.

Clemens, the winning pitcher when New York finished off its Series sweep against Atlanta last October, allowed five runs and six hits in 2 2-3 innings.

Bill Spiers hit a two-run double and Tony Eusebio and Roger Cedeno had RBI singles off Clemens in the second inning. Daryle Ward homered in the third, and Clemens left after Eusebio doubled.

``I don't think whether I throw shutout innings or give up runs it makes any difference,'' Clemens said. ``I worked on typical spring training stuff.''

Lima, 21-10 last season, pitched two hitless innings and struck out four. The Astros ace hit Chuck Knoblauch in the arm with his first pitch and just missed Derek Jeter with his next one.

``That's not what I wanted,'' Lima said. ``I said to myself, `Jose, what is going on?' And I apologized to Knoblauch.''

Lima then struck out Jeter, Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams in order, and fanned Ricky Ledee the next inning.

``It was my first time facing the Yankees. It was a nice crowd and that got me going,'' he said.

Tim Raines doubled and scored in the Yankees seventh and Ryan Thompson homered in the eighth.

Notes: The Yankees will travel to Houston and play the first game ever at Enron Field on March 30. ``I'm hoping I get to pitch,'' said Clemens, who lives in the Houston area. ... Wade Miller worked two scoreless innings for Houston. ... David Cone, who starts for the Yankees on Monday against Cleveland's Jaret Wright, was coming out of the shower before the game when he ran into George Steinbrenner. ``I got a must-win tomorrow,'' Cone said. ``How about a must-pitch?'' the owner replied.
