We had a classic pitching duel in the Bronx today. The Yankee offense was a little sleepy against José Ureña, but the team’s pitching picked them up — and how! Corey Kluber was masterful over eight shutout innings, Aroldis Chapman continued his stretch of dominance to open the season, and the Yankees finally notched their first sweep of the year, setting aside the Detroit Tigers 2-0.
Let’s get right to it: Corey Kluber looked stellar today in the 100th win of his outstanding career. Yes, it was the Tigers. He still showed excellent command of five pitches, especially working down in the zone.
