Pinch-hitter Jose Trevino finally broke a stalemate in the 13th inning with a game-winning single that gave the Yankees a victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
Luis Severino struck out 10, including five of his first six batters, and provided six innings of one-run ball to steady a strong Yankees rotation coming off three uncharacteristically rugged outings in Minnesota.
Moments earlier, Torres was positioned perfectly in an infield shift to throw out a runner at the plate. Yankees reliever Clarke Schmidt was pumped up after getting double plays to end each of his two scoreless extra innings.Even with the automatic runner on second base to start every extra inning, neither team was able to break through until the 13th as Yankees fans grew restless. The Cubs didn't muster a hit after the ninth.
Yankees reliever Clay Holmes worked the ninth, extending his shutout streak to 28 innings — the longest for New York since Mariano Rivera finished the 1999 season with 30 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
