Betances (4-3) was tagged with a blown save after allowing an inherited runner score but picked up the win after two subsequent scoreless innings in Tuesday's game against the Royals.
After Tyler Clippard allowed the first runner of the eighth inning to reach, the Yankees let Betances try for a six-out save. Although he couldn't keep the runner from scoring, he did lock down the Royals for the rest of the eighth and ninth, and he was rewarded with a win after the Yankees scored in the top of the 10th. Chasen Shreve picked up a two-out save as the Yankees played matchups in extra innings. Despite the blown save, Betances continues to excel as the Yankees' closer -- he has allowed just one earned run with a 21:4 K:BB in 12.1 innings since Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman were shipped out at the trade deadline.
