While the New York Yankees’ bullpen has been extremely impressive in the early going, the starting rotation hasn’t been able to replicate that success. Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery have been phenomenal, but Corey Kluber, Jameson Taillon, and Domingo German haven’t been as good.
Before Thusday’s games, Yankees’ starters not named Cole had combined for a 6.06 ERA, and if we take Montgomery’s 3.27 ERA, it would be even worse. Needless to say, Kluber, German, and Taillon haven’t been able to provide length, either, overtaxing the bullpen.
The Yankees’ relievers have a 1.84 ERA, which is the best mark in the junior circuit.
