BOSTON — When the Yankees were at their most desperate for a win — and a decent outing from a starting pitcher — it was Domingo German who provided.
Perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise, since German has been arguably their most reliable starter this season and he has given the rotation a much-needed boost while others have struggled.
On Sunday against the Red Sox, he became the first Yankee starter to finish five innings in the past eight games in a 9-6 win that prevented the Red Sox from completing a four-game sweep at Fenway Park.
