J.A. Happ landed in the Yankees’ rotation intending to provide a stabilizing presence to a team in need, using his veteran expertise to shore up what had been perceived as their most glaring weakness. The left-hander has been all they could have hoped for.

Happ spun six scoreless innings of six-hit ball in the Yankees’ 7-2 victory over the Twins on Monday night at Target Field, leading New York to a series-opening victory after splitting the first two legs of their road trip.
