Using an opener has not always worked in the Yankees’ favor, but on Monday, it went even better than they could have hoped.
The Yankees called on reliever Jimmy Cordero to start the game as the opener before he passed the baton to starter-turned-bulk reliever Jhony Brito, who turned in his best outing of late in the Yankees’Cordero tossed two perfect innings against the right-handed heavy top of the Blue Jays’ lineup and then Brito mostly cruised before running into trouble in the eighth, but the combination was a winning one for the Yankees.
This season, Cordero had held righties to a slash line of .171/.256/.257 while righties had beaten up Brito for a slash line of .292/.347/.631. Jimmy Cordero pitches during the Yankees’ win over the Blue Jays on May 15.But after coming on in relief on Monday, Brito more than held his own against the Blue Jays lineup, tossing five shutout innings on three hits before he gave up four runs — only two earned because of a Gleyber Torres error — in the eighth inning.
He said he wanted to be mindful of their workloads during a stretch of 33 games in 34 days with both coming back from injuries — a toe/foot issue that cost LeMahieu the end of last season and a strained oblique that cost Bader the first month of this season.
