Make it three straight sharp starts for Yankees' rookie Will Warren, who tossed 5.2 shutout innings in a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers.
That means the Yankees will go with Will Warren on Tuesday night for the series opener against the Texas Rangers. He’ll already be pitching on six days’ rest, and then turn to Yarbrough the following day, keeping the rest of the rotation on that same sixth-day schedule.
The Yankees (28-19) moved to a season-best nine games over .500 and won for a ninth time in their past 12, beating Aaron Boone’s brother (Bret, the Rangers hitting coach) and Mark Leiter Jr.’s cousin (Jack, a Rangers starter).
The realization hit Will Warren midway through the fourth inning, when the Rangers kept swinging and missing, the strikeouts were piling up and the PC Richards whistle was on a steady repeat over the Yankee Stadium PA system.
