Yarbrough, a little-paid-attention-to signing late in spring training by the Yankees, came into the night 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in his three previous starts. He allowed one run, two hits and a walk in an efficient 88-pitch outing in which he struck out seven.

The Yankees sent Yarbrough back out for the sixth and when he retired Neto leading off, it marked the deepest he’s pitched into a game this season. Two more batters, two more outs, and Yarbrough, a day after the Yankee bullpen had to cover a ton of outs, gave the club everything it needed.

Anthony Volpe hit a three-run double during the Yankees’ four-run fourth inning, and Ryan Yarbrough yielded two hits over six innings in New York’s 5-1 victory against the Los Angeles Angels.
