KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chasen Shreve was recalled Tuesday afternoon from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for his fourth stint this season with the New York Yankees.
In the 10th inning Tuesday night, Shreve was summoned from the bullpen and picked up his first big league save as the Yankees outlasted the Kansas City Royals 5-4.
Shreve entered with the bases full of Royals. Speedsters Raul Mondesi and Jarrod Dyson were on third and second. Any base hit to the outfield likely would have scored both to give Kansas City a win. A sacrifice fly and the game is tied.
