Yankees news: Warren, bats key blowout win
Will Warren pitches his best outing; Yankees explode against left-handed Cameron; Cole feeling “good” after rehab start, still behind Rodón; a home game delay.
SNY | John Flanigan : Will Warren dominated the Royals Saturday, holding them off the board into the seventh inning to continue an encouraging start. “The four-seam was really playing well,” Aaron Boone said of his second-year starter. “He got a lot of swing-and-miss, the changeup was good today too, I just think it was the overall mix — it was good to see him take that lead and run with it, really good job.
” Warren has pitched to a 2. 49 ERA through five starts, building on a campaign in which he finished eighth in AL Rookie of the Year voting last year. NY Post | Greg Joyce: The offense also played its part in making the win a rare comfortable victory.
Cody Bellinger led the charge with two homers, as the lineup overall coasted to 13 runs. This outburst came against left-hander Noah Cameron, a particularly encouraging sign as the team had entered play with a . 535 OPS against southpaws, second-worst in baseball.
ESPN | Jorge Castillo : Aaron Boone threw some cold water on anyone anticipating a rapid return from Gerrit Cole, who made his first rehab start on Friday against Double-A Somerset, indicating he will need “several more” rehab outings first, with a return expected by early June. “Nothing’s imminent here,” the Yankees manager noted. “We’ll be disciplined and make sure we take the right amount of time.
