The Yankees’ late-season upswing is going so swimmingly that they can start a pitcher they claimed off the scrap heap and still pick up another win.
PITTSBURGH — The Yankees’ late-season upswing is going so swimmingly that they can start a pitcher they claimed off the scrap heap earlier this week and still pick up another win.
While dreamers may be crunching the numbers for how the Yankees might still be able to sneak into the playoffs — they moved within six games of the final AL wild-card spot, pending the Mariners’ late game against the Dodgers, with 13 games left — it is likely they dug themselves too big of a hole to climb out of at this point.
The Yankees drew three walks in the first inning alone, two of which came around to score on Austin Wells’ RBI double — his first extra-base hit since Sept. 3 — and Estevan Florial’s two-run single off right-hander Luis Ortiz. It was enough offensive support on a day when Luke Weaver — who was claimed off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday — gave up three runs and struck out seven across four innings in a spot start.
