Five Yankee hurlers pitched in as superheroes Thursday to a group of cancer-stricken kids.

Mound men Jordan Montgomery, Masahiro Tanaka, Michael Pineda, CC Sabathia and Luis Severino dressed up as comic-book favorites to surprise the children.

The youngsters had been gathered in a suite at Yankee Stadium to watch the team’s game against the Kansas City Royals, but it was rained out.
