As his line drive landed safely in left field, Jose Trevino tossed his bat aside and broke into a big smile on the way to first base.
At last, a hit in extra innings! And all it took was one.
"Every time he gets an opportunity to do something for the team, he does," Torres said. "He showed tonight." Luis Severino struck out 10, including five of his first six batters, and provided six innings of one-run ball to steady a strong Yankees rotation coming off three uncharacteristically rugged outings in Minnesota.
New York reliever Clarke Schmidt was pumped up after getting double plays to end each of his two scoreless extra innings. Ron Marinaccio worked one scoreless frame for his first major league win.Even with the automatic runner on second base to start every extra inning, neither team was able to break through until the 13th as Yankees fans grew restless. But they began to buzz when Trevino popped out of the dugout to pinch-hit.
"He wanted the Yankees to win for his birthday," Trevino said. "He was yelling at me asking me if I won the game."
