Green (2-3) yielded four runs on seven hits, walked four, and struck out four over 4.2 innings in Saturday's win over the Orioles, but did not factor in the decision.
Giving up the long ball hurt Green the most in this game, as he allowed three homers (two to Chris Davis, one to Mark Trumbo). Although the Yankees scored 9 runs in the first five innings (compared to Baltimore's four), Green didn't receive the win. The 25-year-old has pitched particularly well through four starts in August (2.30 ERA), and has an exceptional strikeout rate (10.30 K/9) and solid 1.22 WHIP overall this year. Hopefully the young righty learned from this outing, since he faces the Orioles again in his next scheduled start Friday, this time in Baltimore.
