Kirk has three-hit day vs. Yankees
Alejandro Kirk went 3-for-4 before being removed for a pinch-runner against the Yankees on Friday. All of the hits were singles, but Statcast said the first would have just eclipsed the wall in right at Yankee Stadium if the wind hadn’t knocked it down a bit. It’s not really like Kirk was robbed, though; the ball would not have been a homer in any other park.
Trevino has rough day vs. TOR
Jose Trevino finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against the Blue Jays on Friday. Trevino (1-for-12, 1 BB) and Austin Wells (3-for-14, 3 BB) have both started four of the Yankees’ first eight games, but neither is doing anything to separate himself from the other. Trevino will continue to play whenever a lefty is on the mound. Wells has gotten four of the six starts versus lefties.
