Chad Green’s dominance was perfect Yankees pick-me-up

Chad Green threw one immaculate inning but, really, his entire performance was perfectly ordered.

Just when it seemed like no one in the once-vaunted Yankees bullpen could get key outs anymore, Green tossed three hitless, scoreless innings to help salvage a doubleheader split with a 4-2 victory in the nightcap against the Mets on Sunday in The Bronx. He threw 27 of 35 pitches for strikes to earn the win and close the door. “Terrific command really from jump street,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Throwing the ball where and how he wanted to, mixing the curveball in with locating the fastball how he needed to.”
