With their A-team on the field, the Yankees far outclassed their opponents en route to an easy 7-1 win. The starters found the power stroke launching a barrage of home runs. Deivi García and Luis Gil pitched a pair of brilliant innings each and the bullpen was lockdown minus a minor blip in the sixth.
I might be the low man on staff when it comes to expectations for García, however I’ll freely admit that I was impressed with what I saw from the 22-year-old tonight. As I touched on in the game thread, García was setback almost to square one when the Yankees minor league pitching coaches advised him to lower his arm slot after determining his delivery had become too rotational.
