NEW YORK -- Adam Warren, who earned the win with the Yankees' 8-2 victory on Saturday, had already proved to the Yankees that he could be a consistent, reliable reliever, coming out of the bullpen and providing quality innings when they needed a boost.
But from the time Warren came up to the big leagues in 2012, there was always a part of Yankees manager Joe Girardi that felt his versatility could benefit not just a bullpen but a rotation, as well.
This season, Warren has proved Girardi right. Saturday's win was another display of that, as Warren recorded his fifth straight quality start in hurling 6 2/3 innings of two-run, four-hit ball.
