NEW YORK -- The idea of Chasen Shreve saving Aroldis Chapman's hind sounds out of a fever dream.
The Yankees needed it Saturday.
After closer Aroldis Chapman melted down in the ninth inning trying to protect a four-run lead, Shreve worked the Yankees out a of a bases-loaded, no-outs bind and to a 7-6 victory over the Mets at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees rebounded from a rough Friday loss to collect a dozen hits to support starting pitcher Sonny Gray, whose trending upward after a terrible start.
Chapman, his velocity down and control non-existent, gave up two runs on three walks, a hit by pitch and a single to slice a 7-3 lead to two runs.
