Aaron Small, New York Yankees
9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K (Win)
Small, taking the place of the injured Mussina, did not disappoint the Yankee faithful. He breezed through the Oakland lineup pitching a five-hit game for his first career shutout.
Small has been pitching off and on in the majors since 1994 but this year has made the most of his time since coming up with the Yanks. Since joining them in July, he’s 6-0 with a 2.42 ERA. With the Yankees’ staff in shambles, this is the kind of production they need from him.
