Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images After being moved to the bullpen for at least the time being to solve the Yankees rotation crunch, Marcus Stroman made his first relief appearance of the season Tuesday, throwing the final three innings of the Yankees win. Stroman gave up a solo home run to Luke Raley in the eighth inning and had traffic on the bases in all three innings. But in his ninth career relief appearance, he was able to record the final nine outs of a blowout to give the Yankees bullpen a breather. It marked Stromans second career save, the first coming in his rookie year with the Blue Jays in 2014. Stro was good, Boone said. You never know bringing him into the situation. We get him a save. I thought he looked very comfortable, very Stro. I thought he was filling the zone up for the most part. I thoughthe had a good presence with all his pitches. It was good to get him out there and good to get his workload up like that [64 pitches] to keep it up. Appreciative of him being down there and ready to go and coming in and picking up three big innings for us tonight.
