Another quality start by a New York Yankees pitcher was just put forth after it seems like only a week since the sky was falling on the rotation. Yet, despite Brian Cashman making no moves, the team managed to produce two quality starts in a row.
James Paxton may have recorded a quality start when all was said and done, but it was much more than that. After surrendering a first-inning two-run shot to J.D. Martinez, Paxton locked it down.
The key to Paxton’s success was how well he mixed his pitches.
