He totaled four final outs to seal Tommy John’s win over Kansas City, granting his 11th save in 13 chances this season with a 0.46 ERA. He relishes the chance to enter another game and pitch an inning or so.
A tight Monday game between the Yankees and Royals featured reliever Goose Gossage delivering in the eighth with the score tied for New York.
