After scoring six runs in their previous three games, seeing the Blue Jays plate four in the first inning Friday night against Lance Lynn couldn’t have been a comfortable feeling for the Yankees.
Yet the same lineup that went limp in the previous three games came alive and carried the Yankees to a 7-5 rain-shortened victory in front of 42,121 at Yankee Stadium.
In his third start and fourth outing as a Yankee, Lynn allowed five runs, six hits and three walks in five-plus innings and was bailed out by the Yankee bats and bullpen.
