Yankees.com: Sanchez, bullpen pick up injured Paxton

The Yankees lost left-hander James Paxton to a knee injury early in Friday’s game against the Twins. But the Yankees bullpen took over and did enough as it helped defeat the Twins, 6-3, at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees bullpen—Jonathan Holder, Adam Ottavino, Tommy Kahnle, Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman—took over after Paxton pitched three innings and combined to pitch six innings, struck out seven batters and allowed two hits, one of which was a two-run bomb by Nelson Cruz.
