NEW YORK -- Just when you think you've seen it all in baseball, Yankees manager Joe Girardi made a series of unconventional moves on Sunday that was a first in franchise history in more than 100 years.
Really.
Yankees rookie tied an MLB record for a rookie with 10 April home runs.
Bryan Mitchell pitched the ninth inning, played first base (and dropped a foul pop) in the 10th, then returned to the mound for the 11th (and wound up being the losing pitcher) in a 7-4 Baltimore Orioles victory.
