Yankeemetrics: Scoring on the road is easy (July 31-Aug. 2)

So I guess the Yankees figured out how to score away from the Bronx, eh?

It got so bad in Friday’s 13-6 win that the White Sox used designated hitter Adam LaRoche in the ninth inning, the third time this season that a position player has pitched against the Yankees. The last time three position players pitched against the Yankees in a single season was 1964 when the Angels’ Willie Smith did it three times, and the last time three different position players pitched against them was 1944.

Mark Teixeira broke the game open with a grand slam in the second inning off southpaw Carlos Rodon, the 10th of his career and second this season.
