There he was these last two games at old Fenway, gassing the Boston Red Sox with strike after strike, fastballs and breaking balls knifing away from Red Sox hitters and then more fastballs up in their eyes, and looking for this one weekend as dominating as any Yankee relief pitcher has, and that includes the great Rivera. That is how much game Dellin Betances has shown you in Boston this weekend.
Oh, it was a big story that Alex Rodriguez hit No. 660 and tied Willie Mays on Friday night. But it is Betances and Andrew Miller who start to make you think that the back end of a bullpen can carry the Yankees to October the way the back end of the Royals bullpen did that for them last season, all the way to Game 7 of the World Series.
