Last week, two Yankees combined to have one of the most brutal relief outings of all time. Between them, Chad Green and Adam Ottavino allowed ten runs while getting just one out. That’s one out total, not each. In doing so, they turned what seemed like it was a fairly comfortable 7-2 win into an incredibly frustrating 12-7 loss.
On the entire opposite end of the spectrum is what one Yankee reliever did on August 25, 1976.
After allowing four runs in the second inning, Yankees starter Ed Figueroa had settled in.
