Lou Trivino played the role of hero out of the Yankees’ bullpen, recording the final seven outs in a must-have, 4-2 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.
“We were just going to try and piece it together. I didn’t expect him to go two-plus,” manager Aaron Boone said of Trivino, who has allowed just one earned run in nine innings with the Yankees. “You can’t say enough about that effort from Lou. I thought he threw the ball great, gets Guerrero in the biggest spot with the bases loaded to start things and then a real efficient inning that allowed him to go back out there for the ninth.
As impressive as Trivino’s outing was, the potential of losing Effross is just as concerning for a Yankees bullpen short on dependable arms. After pitching on Saturday, Effross wasn’t feeling right on Sunday and unable to go.It didn’t hurt the Yankees on Sunday, mostly because Trivino had his best outing as a Yankee. The 30-year-old righty has struggled at times this year, pitching to a 5.27 ERA for the Yankees and A’s. But one area he has excelled at is stranding inherited runners.
“It’s one of those things, you try to be as aggressive as you can in the zone and hopefully get weak contact or swing and misses,” he said.
