Lance Lynn may move into Yanks rotation after impressive debut

Lance Lynn arrived Tuesday and pitched Wednesday for the Yankees. He had time for some basic, “how ya doing” chats and some handshakes. And then the veteran acquired from the Twins before the deadline went out and threw 4¹/u2083 scoreless innings of relief. It’s his way.

“My whole career is, when they tell me to go pitch, I go pitch,” Lynn said.

So he went and pitched with the same attitude he carries, no matter the situation.

“I try not to think of anything except getting whatever hitter in the box is out. If I do that, I’ll be fine,” said Lynn, who surrendered five hits, no walks and struck out five in his Yankees debut during the 7-5 loss to the Orioles at the Stadium.
