The other six spots in the visitors’ batting order were filled with names that wouldn’t be in the big leagues if not for the alarming amount of injuries.
Yet the reason the Yankees started the evening one game over the break-even mark and had won five of six was their starting pitching and J.A. Happ followed the recipe for success by allowing two runs in seven innings.
