CLEVELAND — Look beyond the surface numbers.
That 62-33 record the Yankees own at the All-Star break is impressive, but there are cracks in the starting-pitching numbers that show themselves in different ways.
Masahiro Tanaka gave the Yankees the kind of decent start they are going to need so much more of when play resumes Friday against the Mets with his 6 ¹/u2083 innings in the 5-2 loss to the Indians on Sunday at Progressive Field.
He still came up short.
Yankees starters are eighth in the AL in innings pitched with 520, two innings removed from 11th place.
