James Paxton proved to be virtually unhittable through his first five trips to the Yankee Stadium mound in pinstripes, showcasing the electric three-pitch mix that tantalized the Yankees when the left-hander’s name surfaced in trade talks this past offseason.
Paxton’s introduction to the Subway Series brought a reversal to those fortunes, as he was chased early from Tuesday’s 10-4 loss to the Mets. The lopsided defeat forced the Yankees to settle for a split of the day-night doubleheader, bringing into focus their continuing search to solidify the starting rotation.
