BE WARRENED- Yankees #7 prospect Will Warren made his farm system high 20th start of the season tonight and his fourth against Worcester. Will pitched six innings allowing just one run.

BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL- Despite the teams' 9-10 record in the month of July this is the been the biggest connection between the hitting and pitching. The arms hold a 4.00 earned run average while the hitters hold a .259 average at the plate.

TOO MUCH BALANCE- The relievers have lifted a lot of weight this season. The arms out of the bullpen hold a 4.32 earned run average in 425 innings. Starting pitchers hold a 5.61 ERA in 411 frames. There have been 17 different pitchers who have taken on the starter role this season with four of them being true bullpen arms.

They were led by Will Warren who had eight of his own. Nick Burdi followed with one, Victor González had a pair while Yerry De Los Santos recorded a season-high four to finish off the game.

The righty was picked up as a free agent in January and made seven scoreless appearances for New York. He was placed on the injured list on April 17 and then again on with right hip inflammation.
