"I was super happy about the opportunity given to me, just to be able to be part of the win today," Moreno said through an interpreter. "They called me to be in the bullpen today, to help out, and I was happy that I could contribute to the win."
The Rangers did not manage a hit after Capuano's exit as the Yankees scored 21 unanswered runs. Moreno worked around a third-inning walk with five strikeouts before handing the ball off to right-hander Adam Warren, who retired all nine batters he faced to pick up an unlikely save with a 16-run lead.
