The New York Yankees‘ bullpen is more dangerous than it has any business being right now.
Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Boston Red Sox pushed the Bronx Bombers to 6-1 on the season. Masahiro Tanaka made his season debut after suffering a concussion in summer camp and was limited to a strict pitch count. He exited after 2.2 innings and the bullpen did the rest.
And the crazy part is the Yankees did it all without using any of their best arms. In fact, they really couldn’t tonight. The hard-throwing and hilarious Tommy Kahnle is set to undergo Tommy John surgery.
