The Yankees have found their mojo again, as they’ve matched their longest win streak of the season at five games. They defeated a tough pitcher in Pat Hentgen today by a score of 3-1, and maintained their 3.5 game lead over the Orioles.
Kenny Rogers started for the Yankees ands forced to leave early with shoulder inflammation. He went just four innings and gave up one run – the only run Toronto would get on the day. Brian Boehringer came on in relief and gave the Yankees three-innings of hitless ball. He turned the ball over to Mariano Rivera and John Wetteland, who also each pitched hitless frames.
