On a day full of bright spots for the Yankees, who snapped a six-game losing streak, they received a boost from two of their youngest players. Lindgren, 22, tossed two scoreless innings, while 24-year-old outfielder Slade Heathcott belted his first career home run, a two-run blast in the seventh inning off Greg Holland.
"You want to see your young players come up and have success and feel like they're contributing," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
