NEW YORK -- On Saturday, before he even stepped on the field for the first time as a Yankee, J.A. Happ said that putting on the pinstripes already felt right. Then, on Sunday, the left-hander proved just how good he felt after a solid debut in the Bronx for his new club.
Happ tossed six sparkling innings, permitting just one run on three hits with one walk and two strikeouts in the series finale against the Royals. Chad Green came in to start the seventh after Happ threw 96 pitches, exiting the game with a 6-1 Yankees lead.
