It was patchwork, but it was good enough work by opener Chad Green and three other Yankees pitchers.
The Yankees’ offense helped make sure of that, but on a day when they were short in the bullpen, an unlikely lineup of Green, Nestor Cortes Jr., Adam Ottavino and Chance Adams teamed up to throw nine innings and come out on top Sunday in a 13-5 win over the Rays.
“As many runs and hits as we had, I thought the guys that did a great job were those guys in the bullpen, coming in and giving us some length,” Brett Gardner said.
