NJ.com: Yankees’ rainout might derail Joe Girardi’s golden rule

NEW YORK — The first game of the Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays game was rained out, meaning there will be at least 36 innings of baseball in approximately 45 hours starting Friday night at 7:05 p.m.

That might cause Yanks’ manager Joe Girardi to violate a rule he hates to break: using a relief pitcher for three consecutive days, or the equivalent in his pitches.

“I might have to, in this situation, just with the doubleheader,” Girardi said.
