The Yankees are so hot, they don’t even need length out of their starting pitcher these days.
Chad Green, starting in place of struggling ace Masahiro Tanaka, only made it two batters into the third inning because of a high pitch count, and the Yankees still cruised to their fifth straight victory, a 14-3 shellacking of the Orioles at the Stadium to finish a dominant sweep. They didn’t have to use their two best relievers, Dellin Betances and Tyler Clippard, either, adding to the good vibes.
That was a credit to the yeoman’s work out of the bullpen of four relievers: Chasen Shreve, Jonathan Holder, Adam Warren and rookie Domingo German.
