On Wednesday afternoon, Braves left-hander Dallas Keuchel gave up five runs (four earned) to the Brewers over 5 ²/u2083 innings, walking two and striking out five. His ERA shot up from 3.09 to 3.58 in six starts, totaling 37 ²/u2083 innings.
Those overall numbers would have worked for the Yankees, right?
Alas, the Yankees bid a little less than the Braves last month when the free agent Keuchel shed the draft-pick compensation that had been attached to him, and here they are, more than a month later, still on the prowl for starting pitching help.
Keuchel topped my list of suggested Yankees targets in a June 4 column for The Post.
