Zero
After permitting just 5 runs — 4 earned — over his earlier 5 begins, Nolan McLean had an uncharacteristic poor start, as the Yankees tagged him for 5 runs in 5 innings. McLean also gave up a career-worst 10 hits.
Unsung hero
Carlos Rodón had his longest outing of the season, tossing 6 ¹/₃ ⅓ innings, despite Aaron Boone saying he’s not totally constructed up.
Key Stat
5: With Paul Blackburn and Brent Headrick struggling, David Bednar was called on with one out in the eighth inning and the bases loaded. He obtained out of that inning and despite giving up a leadoff homer to A.J. Ewing in the ninth, picked up his second five-out save of the 12 months.
