Yankees pitcher Esmil Rogers picked up a win Friday, allowing one earned run on four hits and one walk in five innings and striking out three in his team's 10-6 victory over the Indians.
Rogers (2-0) gave up a run in the top of the first inning, but his offense was able to deliver five runs in the bottom half of the first to give him a comfortable lead, which he preserved until exiting. He owns a 5.16 ERA and 29:9 K:BB ratio in 29 2/3 innings, with all of his previous 18 appearances coming in relief. Rogers could be called upon to start Wednesday in Baltimore.
