PHILADELPHIA — Dellin Betances had his first at-bat since high school on Monday — and it showed.
The right-hander came up with runners on second and third and one out in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Phillies and struck out against Yacksel Rios.
“That was the first time I picked up a bat in 12 years,’’ said Betances, who hadn’t hit since he was at Grand Street Campus in Brooklyn.
Unlike some of his bullpen counterparts, Betances had no desire to hit and said he hadn’t taken batting practice since signing with the Yankees in 2006.
